So what happened to that $40B in military aide that the U.S. sent a while ago? I wonder where that ended up?
A lot of it probably has not even arrived yet. It can take quite awhile to requisition, release, pick and ship material out of depots and war reserve stocks. Since this is material going overseas, much of it probably has to be shipped first from a US Depot to a centralized receiving point for loading aboard a ship which then has to be offloaded in Europe and moved to Ukraine where it has to be transported forward to the units that need it. Some of the material can go by air which is faster but a significant amount would have to go by sea. Even for regular high priority US military requirements it sometimes can take weeks to get a part to a specific US unit.

Well, we know where at least 10% of it went.
It’s a bad article with inaccuracies, but it is true that Russia has more artillery.
The $40B was what was authorized, but hasn’t yet been all delivered.
For artillery AFAIK the US has so far provided ammo, 90 m777 howitzers and 4 HIMARS rocket artillery trucks. These are all better than Russian equivalents, but quantity has a quality of its own.
