 One of the main goals of industrialisation was building up the military potential of the Soviet Union.So, if as of January 1, 1932, there were 1,446 tanks and 213 armored vehicles in the Red Army, then as of January 1, 1934 – 7574 tanks and 326 armored vehicles – more than in the armies of United Kingdom, France and Nazi Germany combined.The relationship between industrialisation and the victory of the Soviet Union over Nazi Germany in the "Great Patriotic War" is a matter of debate.
