Please get yourself informed and form an informed opinion.
Example:
There is visual confirmation of Russia having lost about 1200 Tanks. 400 of those were captured by Ukrainian forces. Thats 33%. Do you think that speaks more of the effect of western anti tank weapons or rather something else?
300 additional Tanks have been supplied by the west. Do you think external (=western) tank supply of Ukraine is Russias biggest "tank-problem", or something else?
By the way, the numbers for IFV and other stuff are in the same ballpark.
Why has the war lasted 7 months then? Ukraine should have defeated the Russians in 7 days. If what you're saying is true, this thing should be over in the next week or so.
