So, it doesn't look to me that lend lease was a critical factor for Russia.And, there's no data in that article.
Russia had a very large industrial sector. Russian production was a big factor in winning the war. No less important than the USA's.
Their weapons, esp. tanks and artillery, were at least as good as anyone elses. The Yak 3 and the Sturmovik were the best in their class.
Believe what you like, Mike, but I'll stick to what I know to be true.
