dont forget spanish civil war
TBH, the bottleneck with sending aid to Spanish Republicans was the merchant fleet. USSR managed to get some aid through France, but this pathway was constantly obstructed.
Yes, and they couldn't send help by the sea because they would be attacked by Germany in the North and Italy in Mediterranean, and Soviet fleet was not prepared for such massive convoy missions.
USSR did send help by the sea, but many transport ships were lost due to attacks by Italian submarines and Nationalist fleet.
The USSR sent a ton of aid to the republic.
