The money goes from the US Treasury to Raytheon (for instance).
Munitions manufacturers like Raytheon have shareholders. The weapons they manufacturer, by contract, can only be sold to the US. That’s because the US paid for their development to begin with. Yes, they do make money. But, having worked government contracts before, it may not be as much as you think. A lot of times the government has difficult requirements that has to be built into the end cost.
Ever work on government RFPs? Ever win one? Ever take it from cradle to grave? Ever watch the development money flow? It’s not easy, and yes, you too get paid. There isn’t giant margin on government c9ntract, but the work is steady.

US procurement is a corrupt clown show.
Military contractors overcharge the Pentagon on almost everything the Department of Defense buys each year.
This has been a known fact for decades into he circle and it is so bad that main stream media is covering it.
Not really sure what you are smoking but that shit must be real good or the money is right for this brain dead take lol
