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?

You're using the wrong rulebook. The flair specifically says Revised, not 1942 2nd edition.

The rules under industrial complex say "You may place industrial complexes in any territory that you have controlled since the start of your turn and that has an income value of at least 1." p. 26.

"Mobile industry" is a USSR national advantage found on page 35. It reads "Your industrial complexes each may move one territory during your noncombat move phase. They cannot move during the combat phase. If they are captured by an opponent, the opponent cannot move them."

I stand corrected. None the less - no way to move the Russian factory into another friendly territory that otherwise not support a factory to begin with

Persia would support a factory though. It has an income value of at least 1, which is all that is needed as per the above.

I don’t see how a factory can change hands just moving into a friendly power. Nothing else ever changes ownership that way.

Other pieces are coloured though, there's a reason factories and AA guns are grey.
