The Soviets purchased and in some cases outright stole pretty much everything since they were so backward in industry since 1917.
Complete factories were purchased, the Li-2 Soviet version of the DC-3 a well known fact. Later, with Lend-Lease, everything and the kitchen sink was thrown in-
Early concessions/technical assistance came from International Harvester, Caterpillar, Ford, it's a very long list.
Indigenous inventions were few, Igor Sikorsky having fled to the US around 1919 as I recall-I also remember reading the Soviets even complained about the Kingcobras they were given-[img]
