The guns in addition to the ammunition will be a problem eventually. At least according to that chart, Russia easily has more artillary than the USA plus all NATO nations combined. Which means that we could import ALL of our artillery to them and they'd still be outgunned.

I would imagine the West can at least supply them with NATO caliber for awhile for the stuff they've supplied. Ukraine has/had a massive defense industry before the latest war but what that looks like now idk.
