What ever happened to the Lend Lease program we heard so much about earlier in the war?
“What ever happened to the Lend Lease program we heard so much about earlier in the war?”
Absolutely nothing. It was never used, and has since expired.
It had the potential to rapidly cover a huge potential escalation in requirements, but that upside risk (massive Russian advance) never materialized.
It’s use would have financially been unilaterally borne by the USA, minus whatever fraction might eventually be paid back by Ukraine in the future. It is a constant struggle to get the Europeans to pay a proportional share of expenses.
