Ukraine already has lots of "low tech" weapons, but needs high tech weapons for themselves pretty badly. Massive amounts of such going elsewhere is unlikely, tho' some sales of weapons to undesirables are probably going to happen.

That said, the support Ukraine IS getting is rather interesting:

Speaking of brains I noticed on videos from war zone that Ukraine has now high technology weapon. Small drones that correct fire and make work of artillery more precise I saw pretty much similar videos on youtube from war in Iraq and Afganistan. Mostly Apache helicopters shooting rockets from 8 kms distance. In Ukraine no helicopters because Russian anti-aircraft everywhere, but there is very small drones, quadrocopters, lot of them with high resolution cameras on board transmitting the picture to Ukraine artillery.

6 month ago no one here knew what is quadrocopters, there was no communicating system for correcting fires. No night vision devices and similar high tech toys. Now Ukraine has more and more of that stuff. Obviously our army being supplied with this by unofficial channels.

I have heard they are building these on their own. Might be a cover story, but on the other hand I have seen software development in both highly bureaucratic organizations and free situations and can tell that a couple of boy geniuses whipping together a software that is almost as good as what military paid many millions for is very plausible. Then you will just need a toy chopper and fit it with an iPhone running your custom software.
