Russian invasion of Ukraine

Why aren't we giving the UA more weapons. Why are Germany and France dragging their heels. More HIMARs systems. More tanks and definitely planes. The sooner we give them more weapons the sooner this madness will be over and Putin will be defeated and hopefully toppled. Loan them something big that will take out that bloody bridge to Cimea.
There was a very good twitter thread a few pages back which explained why

In summary, Ukraine’s allies are assessing what is required at any particular time, so at the start of the invasion it was hand held anti tank weapons (no training required and highly affective)
As time has moved on, so have the weapons
When you talk about state of the art war planes, it takes years of training to fly one, which is why it's best that countries such as Poland donate their old Migs
HIMARS is very effective and efficient
Long range missiles less so

Not only that but should any new and top secret NATO weaponry fall into russian hands, a very likely chance during a war with russia, then NATO would lose the edge. Assuming the russians dont already know about it/them already.
