The Soviet system already had a lot of aspects of "warlike economy" even BEFORE the invasion!

Food control;
The Government would collect all food and redistribute it later - which would allow the USSR to prioritize feeding the army and industries over the civilian populace.

The land the Germans captured had 40% of population and grain and around 60% of industrial materials. It was a disaster for the USSR. However, the Soviet Union in general was geared for war. That is how Stalin built it up due to the ideological isolation of the USSR.

The USSR also had an extensive mobilization system. Germany invaded the Soviets with 3.5 million soldiers, and 3 million Soviet soldiers would already be lost by the end of 1941, however by 1942 the USSR already had 5.3 million men in the army while Germany had 3.7m.
