I don't believe there has been any confirmation of weapons sent to Ukraine ending up on the black market or has there?

If Russia is bargaining with Iran trading "hundreds" of captured anti-tank weapons and guided artillery munitions... it doesn't take a genius to come to conclusions as to what other non-state affiliated actors are doing...

Ukraine has also arrested a number of Ukrainians in known smuggling rings selling captured weapons on the black market [1].

Im not seeing any sources saying that Russia is giving Iran hundreds of anti tank weapons? or guided artillery munitions?.

I think there are so many weapons that it must occur (either by Russian capture or traitorous Ukrainians) but that should not deter the US and allies from sending as much as needed for Ukraine to expel their invaders.
