The Soviet Union had significant copper resources and mining capabilities. For instance, in 1940, before the war, the USSR was the world's fourth-largest producer of copper, producing over 400,000 tons annually.

The lend lease sent was very welcome - but surely it was not so important that the USSR would fall without it.

Even though Lend-Lease provided 80% of their copper needs, the USSR’s domestic production could have been ramped up to fill some of the gap.
