12 tanks per month: the capabilities of the military-industrial complex of the USA and Germany are estimated

4

According to open sources, the United States produces 12 Abrams tanks every month. At the same time, only one of the four specialized plants is operating. Over the years after the end of the confrontation with the USSR, the United States has lost many important competencies in this area.

Germany is increasing tank production and by 2027 it will theoretically be able to produce up to 140 Leopard-2 tanks annually. However, in practice, Berlin also experiences a shortage of specialists, the replenishment of which will take a long time.



As for the production of shells, the leader in this area is the Slovak holding ZVS, which produces about 20 thousand ammunition per month. By the end of 2023, the company plans to reach a production level of 100 shells.

At the same time, the United States produces only 14 thousand shells per month, while at the end of the year the defense department set the task of increasing this number to 20 thousand, and by 2024 - to bring it to 90 thousand shells per month.

At the same time, according to Western sources, at the beginning of last year, more than 141 thousand 152-mm shells per month were produced in Russia. By December, monthly production increased to 275 thousand ammunition. According to the Ministry of Defense, by the end of this year, the production of shells by the Russian military-industrial complex will increase to 416-417 thousand pieces per month.

      And how much anti-tank ammunition is produced per month, including charges for RPGs? If the Americans make tanks in such volumes, then they won’t have enough tanks for a week.

      I’ll tell you a little secret, not only the USA and Germany can make tanks.
      For example, after a successful synergy for the production of the Greek LEO 2A6 Hell, where the Germans supplied the engine and the turret with a gun. A year ago, a decision was made to expand production for imports, where the Greek side will already fully produce the hull, turret, attachments. Germany will be limited to the supply of gun engines and electronics.
