The war has been a major sale for the US and it allies. It shown that while their weapons are expensive, it is very effective and can do what it is designed to do. For example when HIMARS arrived in Ukraine and we start seeing it effectiveness on social media, there was a spike on orders of HIMARS, especially the countries in Eastern Europe.

Mordor's orcs were only exported to Isengard. The rest of Middle Earth wanted nothing to do with them. The Elven weapons, on the other hand, were used by many to great effect in wiping out the orcs.

I love how Russia creates its own problems and then complains about it

No one in the military thinks of any vehicle as indestructible. But potential buyers will judge Russian arms by the high numbers of losses compared to how little was achieved.
