Lol I knew someone will mention those two. They actually sold ammo from Albanian stockpile to Afghan government. This is notable because unlike other Warsaw Pact countries Albania is one of the very few socialist countries which went to China's side of the Sino-Soviet split, thus their big stockpile of ammo was actually made in China (and therefore illegal for these two to sell per US law).
Doubly ironic since Taliban 1.0's ammo also came from China, as back when CIA was funding them to fight the Soviets they needed ammo that would work in captured Soviet weapons (and Chinese reproduction, eg: Type 56 assault rifle, Type 69 RPG) and the countries best equipped to manufacturer that was also China, and China did and earned some sweet CIA bucks.
Basically if it wasn't because China has to remain neutral in this war you would see Norinco sales people on both sides of the conflict already. I would expect lots more business for Norinco after the war for countries that still use Soviet standard ammo, they even got the prefect sales pitch:

Ammunition has a longer shelf life than you might think, I've seen probably Canadians on youtube unpacking a box of 1965 Chinese made M43 rounds and still being able to fire them. If I remember correctly, someone even managed to get the T-34 to fire in the Yemen war .
Dayum, Scholz is just really good at this pretending to help thing. What have Germany actually sent to Ukraine other than helmets, Strela/Igla and Panzerfaust 3?
Don't forget the anti-tank mines.

My take as an armchair general and keyboard warrior is that Russia should scrap their junk aircraft carrier and put the money into more Orion drones. The battle field should be full of drones like flies in an outhouse so that the uaf get scared to even blink and if they even dare to breath wrong they get a missile up their...
