Has Britain really still got this grit

Missiles, ammo, air defence systems, drones. Russia's air force have been almost non existent, Ukraine don't need 300 attack helicopters.
Drones can be jammed very easily, we do it all of the time so only so far they have been effective in the Ukraine war. Missiles to strike where exactly? Air defence they now have
 

So, don't laugh. But this is what I tried to get my head round before I switched off. NATO uses relatively small amounts of troops in what I think is called a combined arms strategy. This requires lots of tanks, planes, expensive missile systems, with relatively small numbers of highly trained ground troops, all acting together. But that requires a huge amount of training and co-ordination. Whereas the Russians have really turned this into more of a WWI style war of attrition using reinforced lines of defence. NATO could overcome this. But Ukraine can't, even if they were given all the weapons, because they don't know how to use them all effectively.
