Quote:Ohio Wins Again in Army's Budget for More M1 Abrams Tanks

Quote:The U.S. Army has 6,000 M1 Abrams tanks and for years has been saying that it doesn't need any more, but the service is requesting $558 million for more tanks in the latest budget.

"There's an industrial base piece to all of that," Maj. Gen. Neil Thurgood, the Army's deputy for acquisition and systems management, said Wednesday of the funding that will go to the General Dynamics Corps. plant in Lima, Ohio, the only tank manufacturer in the U.S.
Instead of building more obsolete M1s they should be making more advanced ones to counter the Russian tank.
