Totally agree. I didn't mean to imply any actual sales loss as the main effect here, but more that it undermines the entire US/NATO military export economy. All those extremely expensive toys rusting away in the mud has to be a shock to the imperial hubris, even if the west won't openly admit it.

I think the lesser empire managers might be getting a wake-up call that the path of violence and uni-polar domination is not a certain future and these weapons are only a guarantee that you'll probably end up like Ukraine if you try to use them on anyone with the ability to defend themselves.
