Not sure they need our tech assitance. From what I have seen they are crafting their own high tech munitions in leaps and bounds.

As Russia attacks, Ukraine scrambles to dig enough trenches
There is worry that Kyiv has left it too late to build the formidable defenses needed to hold off a Russian offensive.

Ukrainian channel 24, located here--
--currently reports that overnight many kamikaze drone attacks occurred throughout Ukraine. The list of the regions attacked is long and includes Kharkiv, Dnipro, and Lviv.
I believe that it is widely understood that Kyiv's air defenses are far superior to all other Ukrainian cities, and so recently russian strategy appears to be concentrating more than usual on attacking areas with lighter defense.

"In a country [Ukraine] that no one can find on a map, hardly"
MTG-speak translated into English:
"I, MTG, can't find Ukraine on a map, and so I know that my constituents can't either, so I am once again going to weaponize my stupidity and connect with my voters in one fell swoop."

US Army general says the 'future is not bright' for towed artillery, like the M777s America gave Ukraine to fight the Russians
"We have witnessed the end of the effectiveness of towed artillery," the four-star general said, arguing the Army needs something different.

"A US Army general said the age of the towed artillery cannon may be coming to an end and suggested the prioritization of other, more mobile options."

The Russian president said "we will destroy their planes" when asked about the delivery of NATO aircraft to Ukraine.

"Vladimir Putin has said that Russian forces will destroy any F-16s delivered to Ukraine from its NATO allies "wherever they are," while at the same time insisting that Moscow had no intention of attacking any country in the alliance."
Ukraine is now "holy war," Russian church declares

I'd say there is even less daylight between Russian Orthodox hierarchy and Putin than between the average Mullah and Khameini. The Church is simply another branch of the Putin regime.

Don't remember where I saw this, might have been on this thread, but I wanted to share it. I thought it was pretty clever of the Ukrainians to do this.
Ukraine has deployed a network of thousands of mobile phones mounted on 6ft poles across the country, functioning as part of a wider sensor network called to counter drone and missile threats. These mobile phones, equipped with basic acoustic sensors and supplemented by AI, analyze environmental sounds to identify potential aerial attacks.

From what I understand from a Russian on another political forum, living in Canada, Kirill is former KGB or FSB? Perhaps he still is and being in the clergy is a cover?Ukraine is now "holy war," Russian church declares

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! You win the door prize.
Geneva (AFP) – The Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill, a strong supporter of President Vladimir Putin, worked for Soviet intelligence while living in Switzerland in the 1970s, Swiss newspapers reported, citing declassified archives.
