If you look at the packages NATO has been sending each new package is smaller than the last. This is true both for weapons and financial aid. Meanwhile, Europe is now crashing economically and will not have enough energy to last the winter. European steel mills are shutting down already. Without energy from Russia it's not possible for Europe to ramp up weapons production. Europe is also starting to see civil unrest in many countries, this will only grow as people realize the enormity of the economic disaster they've been driven into.
Meanwhile, Lockheed Martin ramping up production two years in the future will make no impact on this war. Finally, there is a problem with logistics for NATO. Russia can deliver supplies easily via rail while supplies from US have to come from across the ocean. Overall, this does not paint a promising picture for NATO.
