OK, time for some good news for ukraine:
Rheinmetall is supplying 20 marder ifvs to Ukraine bringing their total up to 50-60 (I think)
Russia kinzhal'd 20 Ukrainian d20 howitzers near summer but it's been proven that they were old soviet surplus most likely being used for parts.
(This one's for swami) Ukraine has AI drones that are resistant to Russian EW:
FLYING KILLBOTS Ukraine creating ‘unstoppable’ AI-powered super-drones that can ruthlessly hunt down Putin’s invaders without mercy
However, one mile away from it, a state-of-the-art AI system will take over, helping it to dodge electronic blockers and air defence systems. The £1.2billion new scheme is back by more than £200million from a UK-led Western drone coalition, The Telegraph reports.

Kinda fascinating how this war is so anachronistic and hypermodern at the same time.
On the one hand, it's an artillery-based trench warfare reminiscent of WWI, with air forces and battle tanks playing a surprisingly minor role so far.
On the other hand, this war revolves a lot around drones, electronic warfare, satellite imaging, hypersonic missiles, glide bombs and state-of-the-art air defense systems.
Almost as if the hypermodern stuff has rendered all the military technology from 1930 through 2010 obsolete, with only weapon concepts which were developed before this timeframe (artillery) or after it (drones) still having an impact.
