I don't have a link for you, but I remember reading that the US+allies have used far more Patriot missiles over the past couple months than Ukraine has used over the past four years. Apparently, this was a major motivation behind Ukraine offering to send specialists to help intercept Shahed drones: They saw the massive waste of Patriot missiles and realised it would impact their ability to get ahold of more.
