Wondering for starters how many did they get?

Thanks,

Hi Mike;

Lend-Lease Universal Carriers supplied to the Soviets:

- supplied from the UK - 1212
- supplied from Canada - 1348
- supplied from United States - 96 (T16)

Total: 2656 shipped to the Soviets, of which 242 were lost in sinkings (Arctic Convoys), which leaves 2414 Universal carriers making it into Soviet service.

Cheers
