Yes, that's why I said lend leased trucks had an impact later on, like in 43 and 44.
(BTW I thought that, during the whole war, USSR was delivered more or less as many trucks as it produced on its own.)
But if you consider planes, for example, even if only a few have been delivered in early 42, they were direly needed and in some places of the front (Leningrad area, Murmansk area), they represented a very significant part of the planes available at these time and places, and these lend leased planes were as good if not better than the then widely used polikarpov or migs.
This wasn't true anymore in 1943.
