If it hadn’t been for us Russia would be a province of Germany. We supplied them with...vehicles.
The USA alone supplied the Russians with 501,660 tactical wheeled and tracked vehicles, including 77,972 Jeeps, 151,053 1.5 t trucks and 200,622 2.5 t trucks.

Airplanes
14,833 US aircraft of all types were sent to Russia between 1942 and 1944.
That includes bombers and fighters. The Russians loved the English Hurricane because it was so sturdy.

Add in food, boots, uniforms, medicines, etc.
