Exactly. Wat is a very profitable business, and I'm sure Northrop and Raytheon would love some more revenue.

a fair chunk of the aid being sent to ukraine is already ending up in the pockets of defense contractors.

They was a press release recently saying that almost all of the money is going to the MIC(military industrial complex) to replenish stocks for stuff given to Ukraine.

Even the Canadian money is doing that. Like where Trudeau brokered a deal with South Korea to gift shells from the active stockpile to Ukraine, the money went to their MIC to make new shells for their stockpile.
