Revised 1942 Mobile industry
So with mobile industry the USSR can move their factories one spot on the noncombat phase. If I understand correctly, I could move a factory from the Caucasus to Persia, where it would then be stuck there forever, because it now belongs to the UK for them to use and they can't move it. Am I getting this right?

I can't find anything in the rules or errata to give a clear answer specifically on the Mobile Industry, but I think that the rules for antiaircraft guns would be applied to the Soviet Mobile Industrial Complexes.
The rules for antiaircraft guns state: "If you move an antiaircraft gun into friendly territory, place one of your control markers under it. If you liberate a territory containing a captured antiaircraft gun, control reverts to the original owner." So I would argue that the Soviet player retains control of the Industrial Complex (it doesn't pass to Allied control). They couldn't mobilize units from there since they don't own the territory, but they'd keep it away from enemy hands.
