Reasons for "Measured and Proportional Response."
There is, effectively, a conference of countries of which the UK, the US {by virtue of their commitment given to Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan under terms of the Budapest Memorandum}, Ukraine of course, Poland, Germany, and approximately 50 other countries, are members. The decisions made are arrived at by consensus among the participating countries, with Ukraine having the deciding voice. One of the issues that appears to have been clear is the concept of "Measured and Proportional Response".
Issues to be considered in the provision of hardware and resources are: logistics, supply lines, facilities for repair - {Repairing tanks is not like taking the SUV to the local repairer for brake disc and pad replacement}, combinations of other support vehicles and even aircraft; consideration of how the hardware is to be used and, probably most important of all, adequate training and experience for the personnel who will be operating the hardware and equipment.
While I acknowledge and understand the frustration that millions of people are experiencing, the consequences of escalating beyond what is referred to as a "proportional response", may be even greater devastation and hardship for Ukrainians than they are already experiencing.
Such a possibility may be difficult to conceive, but Ukraine would be the first likely target if the RuZZians decided to really test the resolve of the "west" or "free world". And if the RuZZians were to fire a small number of tactical nuclear weapons against the major eastern cities of Ukraine, I leave it to you to web-search information about the possible consequences.
The article, in the website below, provides some details on what the response, by western nations, but specifically by the US, to the firing of a nuclear weapon by RuZZia would be. You may wish to read and consider the details, as the possibilities concern us all.
What If Russia Uses Nuclear Weapons in Ukraine?
A look at the grim scenarios—and the U.S. playbook for each

{RuZZia refers to the RuZZian Nazi-Fascist style regime that appears to be acting against the interests of their own population and those of other countries, particularly, but not only, Ukraine at the present time.}
====== Russian Nuclear Weapons Targets.======
Russia, through Putin and others, claims that it has numerous city targets around the world that it can attack with nuclear weapons.
However, the "Achilles' heel" for Russia, particularly because of the immense size of the country, is that there are only two cities to target, Moscow and St. Petersburg. If both of those cities were to be annihilated, it would decimate the Russian Federation.
The country currently identified as the Russian Federation would simply revert to being controlled by the ethnic and national identities and groups, of which the current federation is comprised.
Then Putin, if he survived and could find a horse, would need the horse to help him hunt for food. His capacity to exercise power would no longer exist, except in a very limited region, and he would be the focus of recrimination and responsibility for the devastation that would have been exacted on Russia with western conventional weapons because of the Russian pre-emptive strike. The "west" are most UN-likely to respond with nuclear weapons, but neither would they need to.
Putin would have to be aware of the high probability of this outcome, which would most likely be the only reason that would matter to him.
