The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It 246
The U.S. Aids Russia’s Military Industrial Complex
The extent of US aid to the Soviets is truly of a scope and magnitude that is mind-
boggling. Sutton’s 261 page book provides details that I don’t have room for but following is a
summary of US technological aid to the Soviets:
US companies provided technical assistance; they designed and built factories; they
provided machinery, materials and licensed manufacturing processes to the Soviets. Many of
these factories were among the biggest and most technologically advanced in the world. For
example the largest truck plant in the world was built by the Soviets with US assistance. The
Kama Truck plant built in the 1970’s was designed to have an “annual output of 100,000 multi-
axle 10-ton trucks, trailers, and off-road vehicles.” US companies provided the design,
engineering and equipment. In 1938 United Engineering provided equipment and technical
assistance for Aluminum mills in Russia. These mills were said to be the most modern in the
world and capable of producing aluminum sheets of a size that had never been produced
before.

Regarding the Kama Truck plant, Avraham Shifrin, former Soviet Defense Ministry
official said:
The (American) business men who built the Soviet Kama River truck
plant should be shot as traitors.

This US aid to the Soviets provided truck factories, automobile factories, airplane
factories, tractor factories, engine plants, aluminum mills, steel mills, chemical plants, ball
bearing plants, rubber factories, a petroleum cracking refinery and equipment for making clock
parts (precision clock or watch parts are used in making bomb and artillery fuses). The truck,
automobile and tractor factories were used for making tanks, armored vehicles, and self
propelled guns. “Almost all—possibly 95%—of Soviet military vehicles” were produced in these
American designed and equipped plants (the equipment was American or European versions of
American designs). US companies provided the technology and armored plating for tanks and
later taught the Soviets how to make there own armor plating. The airplane factories included
fighter planes and the production of the DC-3 was later licensed to the Soviets. The Soviets
produced 115,596 planes from these facilities during WWII. The aluminum mills were used for
making airplanes, jets and missiles. The chemical plants produced the ingredients for producing
ammunition propellant, explosives and rocket fuel. In 1960-61 the entire chemical industry was
updated with modern equipment and processes by Western European companies. Ball bearings
are critical components in the production of tanks and other military vehicles. Precision ball
bearings are used in missiles and missile guidance systems. The US provided these ball bearings
to the Soviets until 1960 when the Soviets acquired the technology and equipment from the US
to produce their own. The Soviets acquired two clock making companies and all their equipment
from the US in 1929 and 1930 because precision clock or watch parts are used in making bomb
and artillery fuses.
