Hopefully the US people on the ground will recover the disabled tanks and bring them back to the US.
The tanks can be sent to the Lima Tank Plant in Ohio to be rebuilt.
There are no more of the M1 chassis being built but the tank can be rebuilt from the chassis up.
I’ve seen video purporting to be two additional Abrams chassis being destroyed. What would that be? What kind of non gun mounted platforms would these serve, if true?
Really is no need to rebuild anything. Take a look at satellite photos of Sierra Army Depot in Herlong, CA. More M1 tanks parked there that are on active service worldwide. Estimates are that 10,300 M1 tanks have been built. Probably seven thousand parked here, if not more.
If these tanks were destroyed in combat, their true value might be in seeing just how they were destroyed, and crew survivability studies done on the destroyed chassis’.
