I guess the US even back in October didn’t foresee this, either that or the officials lied about US capabilities.
U.S. officials have suggested that diverting the shells from Ukraine to Israel would have no immediate impact on Ukraine’s ability to fight against Russian troops.
The official said the Department of Defense and the U.S. Transportation Command have robust global deployment and distribution capabilities that can continue to support Israel as well as other countries.
“We are confident we can support both Ukraine and Israel in terms of their defensive needs,” Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder, a Pentagon spokesperson, told reporters.

I continue to be amazed at just how little understanding people running the war have of what the actual situation on the ground is like.
Either they truly got high on their own propaganda. Or the entire purpose of the war was to distract the public and redirect their anger, and was never meant to be won.
