the USSR produced about 130 thousand tanks during WW2

2018-11-14 22:01:21 UTC  

just added all these numbers up

2018-11-14 22:01:28 UTC  

the USA sent them 7000 tanks

2018-11-14 22:01:34 UTC  

that number is here

2018-11-14 22:01:57 UTC  

Wiki isnt a fantastic source and its not all about tanks

2018-11-14 22:01:59 UTC  

the USA contributed less than 5% of the soviet union's tanks

2018-11-14 22:02:04 UTC  

okay

2018-11-14 22:02:07 UTC  

find a better source

2018-11-14 22:02:26 UTC  

not my job

2018-11-14 22:03:15 UTC  

this source actually gives a lower number

2018-11-14 22:03:17 UTC  

6000

2018-11-14 22:03:42 UTC  

I dont care for tanks I said

2018-11-14 22:03:47 UTC  

Ill settle on the latter

2018-11-14 22:03:54 UTC  

the lend lease wasnt just tanks

2018-11-14 22:04:37 UTC  

Implying capitalists want to be your friend

2018-11-14 22:04:38 UTC  

okay what do you think was the biggest impact if it wasn't tanks?

2018-11-14 22:04:49 UTC  

planes? guns?
name anything

2018-11-14 22:04:57 UTC  

Everything including tanks

2018-11-14 22:05:11 UTC  

okay let's review these figures

2018-11-14 22:05:26 UTC  

what the russians had was their sacrifise and blood but that didnt win the war alone

2018-11-14 22:06:17 UTC  

However ww2 was won due to the americans

2018-11-14 22:06:33 UTC  

who have created the western front again

2018-11-14 22:06:37 UTC  

and a southern one

2018-11-14 22:06:42 UTC  

all together, there were 17 million tons of goods shipped to the USSR

2018-11-14 22:06:51 UTC  

from 1941-1945

2018-11-14 22:07:08 UTC  

let's just look at soviet production of raw materials here

2018-11-14 22:07:42 UTC  

all together, the USSR produced 263 million tons of coal, ore, steel, and aluminium

2018-11-14 22:07:46 UTC  

Like I said, lend lease and blood alone didnt win the war

2018-11-14 22:08:06 UTC  

which means that the USA shipped the soviets less than 6% of what they produced themselves

2018-11-14 22:08:16 UTC  

the lend-lease act did basically nothing for the soviets

2018-11-14 22:08:30 UTC  

except prepare far more men

2018-11-14 22:08:31 UTC  

and that's not even including soviet production/storage of any machines or vehicles

2018-11-14 22:08:45 UTC  

dont forget the newer technology

2018-11-14 22:08:49 UTC  

that's the US's entire shipments vs soviet raw materials alone

2018-11-14 22:09:06 UTC  

were there any soviet troops armed with thompson machine guns on the front lines?

2018-11-14 22:09:10 UTC  

which greatly helped moscow and stalingrad during winter
