Yet Ukraine has been successfully armed by the west, so it's clearly manageable. The scale between Ukraine and Israel/Gaza is also a huge difference.

The one thing that Russia couldn't replace would be the iron dome. I'll agree that's no small thing.

Two years in they have. That's a better timescale for Gaza than "next month". And scale is irrelevant to the problems for the armed nation. They have fewer weapons, but also fewer resources. The problem with arming Ukraine was never that the West needed time to find enough weapons, it was integrating weapons with their armed forces.
