We almost never get to test munitions in the field without having to go to war ourselves. Lots of great data showing that Russia has fallen very far from being a world power.
"how expensive aid to Ukraine is, so it's a good opportunity for this CEPA report that notes that for just 5% of the US military budget, we've disabled 50% of Russia's military power." - Bret Devereaux of acoup.blog
So the US probably has made more tax benefit (by inflation increasing tax income, which with cold progression won't create same spending as income) than it spent supporting.
Making the world a safer place, on the cheap.
It's a lot cheaper than the headline figures suggest. Also there is a lot of hope that future defense procurements are more cost-effective than in the past because the military is very conscious of how American "cost-disease" puts us at disadvantage to other nations and if we lose the next war we'll be probably be defeated by own defense contractors than the enemy.
