And many former Warsaw Pact countries are donating their Soviet-era arms to Ukraine in exchange for modern US EQ, which we are happy to sell to them and ring up the profits.
There’s a quick follow on to this. It’s a really big deal when you switch “vendors”. In the airline business it means you have to retool your repair facilities. You have to have multiple sets of spare parts. Your people need to be retrained. Your sub vendors have to get with the program, or you need to find new ones in that supply chain too. That’s why Boeing and Airbus (to use an example) work so hard to “crack the egg” and get the first of their planes into an airline of the competitors - and why it’s so hard.
Having Warsaw Pact countries dump their inventories and move to Western arms is a huge deal now and for the foreseeable future. It makes them dependent on us, it moves them even further from their Soviet past, it produces business for US and EU companies (and takes it away from Russians).
That’s a victory, long term, for years to come.
