> The Ukrainian war has been very good to American exports of arms

By "exports", do you mean donations? https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-64656301

It is still exported, right? Calling it a donation does not suddenly make the arms free/gratis. The money still comes from somewhere and is ... exported.

There's been plenty of sales as well.

For example, last year the US sold $6 billion-worth of Abrahams tanks to Poland. Overall, paid-for exports to Europe have exploded.
