Ukrainian human resources are certainly limited. On the other hand, the West hasn't even tried to out manufacture Russia and give Ukraine all it needs. Contrary to popular believe, Russian resources are not endless.
and that is the Crux of the matter, the West does not need to out produce Russia, they simply need to provide the Armour and Missiles etc in quantities that the Russians cannot sustain in the short time. Ukraine is being bled dry by the current situation, 30 tanks here or there are probably just replacing attrition and not effective, you see Leo’s going in as singletons, again not effective.
Give Ukraine the missiles and launchers in quantity with the range to hit and destroy Russia’s stockpiles and concentrated troop locations, then enough to obliterate the road and rail supply network. And give them tanks by the Hundred so they can take the fight in force against Russia who will struggle to counter it. The longer the West drags out supplying Ukraine with what it needs, the longer Russia has to build up its manufacturing capabilities and then your screwed as the ball will be in their court.
The Russians are not stupid with the missiles availability at the moment, they simply moved their supplies back out of range, hence the need for longer range weaponry.
