And a rate of 8 M88A2 per month is what the line was designed for - for that vehicle that is a very good production rate

FYI I listed the M88 under Heavy Support Vehicles and never made any mention about how and what sort of level it is being produced at.

And I stated that "U.S. armoured vehicles are currently built/rebuilt by General Dynamics, Textron and British owned BAE. General Dynamics (LAV-25, M1120 Stryker), Textron (M117), BAE (AAV-P7, M2/M3 Bradley, M113, M109). Except for the Stryker few if any of these vehicles are currently being built, with other work concentrating on rebuilds and supplying components".
That is pretty much what you are talking about, remanufacture!

Well I listed the current assembly lines and they also existed in 1997, so just add them to it.
