The United States will not provide military assistance to Ukraine at the level of 2022-2023, because they seek to help the country build its own military-industrial base.
Well Russia hasn’t managed to destroy Ukraine’s existing manufacturing capacity, so yes. Minister of Strategic Industries Kamyshin claimed a twenty-fold increase in artillery shell production over 2023 a couple of months ago, and while he’s obviously going to be leaning towards a favourable view of the situation given his job I think that the many deals signed by Ukraine’s NATO suppliers to begin manufacturing within Ukraine suggest that there is some substance to his words. Russia does not have access to most of Ukraine and, despite Ukraine’s lack of a real airforce, has not been able to successfully establish air superiority.

they can claim whatever they want for propaganda, in the real world we can observe their artillery shortages and failed offensives
despite Ukraine’s lack of a real airforce, has not been able to successfully establish air superiority
you don’t need air superiority to destroy a factory, please put aside the wishful thinking for 5 minutes if you can
troops can retreat, equipment can be relocated somewhere else, a factory is a static building that you CANNOT MOVE, no matter how much air defense you put near it eventually a missile, drone or shell will go through and damage/destroy it
