Somebody please tell me again, why are our tax dollars going to blowing up Russian islands?

Not in this case. Ukraine built SPGs where the weapon of choice:
Wheeled, self-propelled 2S22 Bohdana 155 howitzer, 52 caliber, max range 42km, compatible with standard NATO ammunition ... Bogdana demonstrated a range of 40 km with ERFB-BV extended range shells with improved aerodynamics. It also demonstrated a range of 42 km with rocket-assisted shell. Range with a standard HE-FRAG shell could be around 30 km. So this Ukrainian artillery system outperforms the older Soviet howitzers and is on par with modern Western howitzers

Good job. I think I heard their anti-ship missile which sank the Moskva is also “home grown”
