      Yes they do, for example look at the sponsors page of Australian hawk thinktank ASPI: https://www.aspi.org.au/sponsors

      Includes Northrop Grumman, Lockheed, NAVAL Group, Raytheon, SAAB... And was first founded in 2001 with seed funding from the Australian DoD.

      ASPI produces and promotes national propaganda against designated enemies like China. So it's literally not even technically true that these arms dealers don't promote war. They don't even try to hide it.
