Not sure your exact question. But as for Ukraine, the U.S. Military just gives them their older equipment and buys new stuff. Missiles like himars and patriots have an expiration date. So the u.s. just gives them missiles closer to expiration dates. Otherwise those missiles have to be sent back to Raytheon or used in training. Most of the aid for Ukraine is actually spent in the U.S.
