Up untill 1996 M1A1 Tanks were made at the Lima Army Tank Plant in Lima Ohio, with some systems made at the Detroit Arsenal Tank Plant, after 1996 everthing was done at the Lima Army Tank Plant.
According to Wikipedia the plant output of M1A1's is 120 per month.
I am guessing with the war is full swing that tank production would done at many diffrent locations and maybe even by other companies.
To answer your question: The Engines are made at Stratford Army Engine Plant in Stratford, Connecticut and Anniston Army Depot in Bynum, Alabama. The main gun is made at Watervliet Arsenal in Watervliet NY.
I am wondering why the Soviet would waste a nuke on the Lima Plant given that the tank production is spread over many locations, not to meation the fact that every M1A1 has to be shipped to Europe by sea so destorying seaports and attacking shipping could achive the same results and give them nuke for another traget.
