During WWII, the US government spent more on radar research ($3B or ~$53B in 2024) than the Manhattan Project ($2B or ~$35 in 2024).
Scientists working on the radar said "that radar won the war, whereas the atomic bomb merely ended it."

Allies’ advantage in radar certainly helped, but was not the decisive factor.
The foundation of war is economics, specifically industrial capacity, and the Allies were far stronger in this regard.
