RED DAWN ALERT - WEAK LINK IN THE ARMOR - USA No New Tanks

http://nutrientsurvival.com The Lima Army Tank Plant, or Joint Systems Manufacturing Center (JSMC), is a major U.S. Army tank manufacturing facility that has been in operation since 1942. The plant has been responsible for producing a variety of armored vehicles over the years, including the M4 Sherman, M26 Pershing, M60 Patton, and M1 Abrams main battle tanks.

Currently, the plant is responsible for the production of the M1 Abrams tank, which is the main battle tank used by the U.S. Army and several other countries around the world. The plant produces various versions of the tank, including the M1A1, M1A2, and M1A2 SEP (System Enhancement Package) versions.

The plant has undergone several modernization efforts over the years, and is now a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility that utilizes advanced technologies and processes to produce high-quality armored vehicles for the U.S. military and its allies.

The number of tanks produced at the Lima Army Tank Plant, or Joint Systems Manufacturing Center (JSMC), can vary depending on the needs of the U.S. military and its allies. However, the plant has the capacity to produce up to 120 tanks per year.

The U.S. Army often brings in older M1 Abrams tanks to the Lima Army Tank Plant for upgrades. This is done to extend the service life of these tanks and to bring them up to the latest standards of performance and technology.

The upgrade process typically involves stripping the tank down to its basic components and then rebuilding it with updated systems and components. Some of the upgrades that can be installed on older M1 Abrams tanks include:

Improved armor protection: This can include new composite armor, explosive reactive armor (ERA), and/or active protection systems (APS) to improve the tank's ability to withstand enemy fire.

New fire control systems: These can include upgraded gun sights, thermal imaging systems, and targeting computers to improve accuracy and situational awareness.

Upgraded engines and transmissions: These can improve the tank's mobility and reliability.

Digital electronic architecture: This can include updated computers and communications systems to improve the tank's connectivity with other battlefield assets.

By upgrading older tanks, the U.S. Army is able to keep its armored forces up-to-date and ready for any future conflicts. The Lima Army Tank Plant is equipped to perform these upgrades and has the necessary expertise and facilities to handle the complex process of modernizing the M1 Abrams tank.
