Don’t we have a bunch in National Guard stores?Nope. Unlike the Russians, we stupidly do things with our armaments like turn them into a reef.
Cheap china steel kept steel prices down.
On the other hand, Russia has tens of thousands of T-34/85s, JS-3s, T-55s, T64Bs, T72s etc stored (most rusting hulks) as an emergency contingency to restore/rearm/resale....and they learned after WWII that the severe steel shortage they had, that they would never get rid of steel. They just stack it and store it. They have VAST war stocks that just need oil/gas to go. These pictures show the steel storage that would take MONTHS to restore.

. One thing is for sure. We could not spin up 10 - 20 mech/armor divisions in case WWIII breaks out or a 2 front world war say, vs Russia, and Vs China in a large conventional sense.
