"I just saw a video claiming something like 2/3 of vehicles the Russians used were made in the US."

Considering that 90 000 tanks were produced in russia alone, I really doubt those numbers, as it would mean Russia would have had 270 000 tanks on their own.

Vehicles, not only tanks. For instance, the mobility of the Red Army relied on Studebaker trucks. The US delivered about 115 000 of them. In total, including other types of vehicles like Jeeps, the USSR received about 400 000 vehicles.

Roughly 50-65% of Red Army's transport pool was US-made.

Yep that. Definitely far less share of tanks. Not sure if the red army had any American made tanks, I've never heard that talked about.
