I'd frame it more as the US and NATO are unwilling to supply adequate munitions.
The US is supply both Ukraine & Israel. And the US has to replenish the US Navy has expended in the Red Sea.
I don't believe the US industrial plant is up to the task.
Russia now uses ATV & scooter as tanks are vulnerable to drones. A new development in land warfare. And Russia is utilizing drones also to pound Ukrainian infrastructure.

By the numbers: US missile capacity depleting fast
Our industrial base isn't keeping up with the pace of weapons transfers to Ukraine and Israel

This missile deficit parallels the well-documented lack of U.S. artillery shell production that has enabled Russia to increase the rate at which it’s taking control over territories in Ukraine today.

Moreover, while our proxy war on Russia has strained our resources, an outbreak of hostilities with China could easily increase the burn rate of our ship-based missiles by an order of magnitude over what we have been seeing in the Middle East. And speaking of our supply of ship-based missiles, as of Feb 1, 2024, the U.S. Navy had used at least 100 of its standard series class missiles in the Red Sea.
