Important factor here is that NYT published proof of Cavoli and co actually running the kill chain:

– US reconnaissance find a targets
– Cavoli and Miley pick targets in Wiesbaden
– US personnel prepares the targeting data
– US person uploads it to the missiles
– Ukranian HIMARS driver lets the system shoot.

-> The US runs this show, to the point it’s full involvement

PS: The Russian interceptions capability degraded the effectiveness drastically over time.
