It also took a lot of time for the UAF to stockpile the supplies they have now. My wife has many contacts in Ukraine whose husbands/partners are in the armed forces. During the stalemate over the summer she was constantly telling me how her friend's partners were all complaining they were ready to romp the Russians out, but none of them had the proper equipment so many of them were just waiting around extremely frustrated, watching the Russians bomb the #### out of their country. At least that's how it was in Kharkiv Oblast. Once they got stocked up the counterattack was able to take place.
Now that the weapons have arrived en mass, we're seeing more of it in action. But there was definitely a shortage a few months ago.
