That’s because the munitions we spend most of our money in isn’t going to Ukraine. The stuff we would use against Russia would be wiping cities off the map from thousands of miles away. The things we gave Ukraine are intentionally limited in range and power to prevent it from escalating beyond a regional conflict (aka stuff that can’t strike important targets inside Russia).

Let's make it clear. Ukraine is forced to use their own long range drones to strike targets deep inside Russia, as opposed to also using more effective and more powerful weapons to do so.
