I doubt there are many places in the world (apart from those who build tanks already) that could produce the thick sheets of composite armour required for modern tanks.
Given 6 months (at wartime speeds/priority), we'd be able to produce something better than a T-34. Real, modern, tanks production would require years.

We don't really have the infrastructure to build tanks, we could develop it if we wanted but Russia was able to refit 42 factories that produced heavy machinery into producing T-34s instead. We don't really build much similar to it so we would have to build the infrastructure from scratch.
I mean we can build submarines and we can build warships and those require steel fabrication on a grander scale than tanks do. However, we don't really have the infrastructure to produce 50,000 26 ton medium tanks in the space of 3 or 4 years.
We are rich enough as a nation to build the infrastructure but our docile nature means we would never build the infrastructure before it is needed and without it there it would be too late when you need it. Our GDP is 1.521 trillion USD in 2012 ($67,722 per capita) and Russia is 2.015 trillion USD in 2012 ($18,996 per capita), it is not like we don't have the wealth, we just utilise it poorly.
We are 5th in the world for GDP per capita, the countries ahead of us make us look like a super power so we are a wealthy nation and could afford to build these industries, we just lack the critical mass in terms of population and work force that develop the skills in those industries, it would take us a some time to skill people up for fabrication and manufacturing which isn't our strong suit.
There were two major theatres of war, Europe and the Pacific. In the first one yes, definitely the USA won the war since it ended with the unconditional surrender of the enemy. You don't get much more of a win than than that, so it's hard to see any merit for an argument they didn't win the Pacific side of it. In the European side of it they were on the winning team, and a major player in that team.
We just don't have the market to justify such industries....and I'm not sure current factories could be retooled to build tanks the way the could 70 years back...things are a lot more specialised now.
From everything I have heard about our manufacturing we will have one bloody good naval industry.
I hate to do so, and hope I will be forgiven, for posting large slabs from Wikipedia like this,
We should look at Vietnam and Korea, in my view, if we're to debate American Honour. The Vietnemese wanted rid of their invaders France, a France behaving no different (before and after ww2) than Imperial Japan did. The Americans supported the French.The very France they liberated from Japans ally in ww2, Germany. American honor is where? America only fought for her right (and her white friends right) to rape and pillage, she didn't free anyone, she didn't liberate anyone.
No honor in Nagasaki and Hiroshima. As said,the Germans could of been defeated 18 months before they were. how many millions died as a result of deliberately delaying the end in Europe? This cost Russia dearly, Russia were apparently a victim of NAZI aggression. This not a war that had to be fought.
These are very hard things to compute, after so many years of being taught one version, I know this.Here you have a number of examples of a window to the soul.I could one day get into the royalties German arms manufacturers paid to their American shareholders during ww2, into Swiss bank accounts.Collected at wars end.
The 4 Rothschilds apparently...Who funded the war?
I'm australian. I live in australia, if i want to talk down a bunch of soldiers who attacked my countrymen,I will. They were bad, they were so bad even the germans would shoot at them when they run away. Ted ballpitt captured hundreds with his chefs hat. They were that bad. You forgot to see that I compared the Italians to the english, apparantly according to englishmen,they (the english) won ww2.
It doesn't really matter if i praise or critisize, you're only gonna see what you want to.
US more or less defeated Japan on their own.
Although with 8 million people we could not supply the manpower of a large population we did provide R&R for the US Armed forces as well as close to a million or so men and lots of well made equipment.
I don't think we could have defeated Japan on our own but we would have held them off and forced a peace deal with them. We play down our military role in the Pacific War too often, we did good and we should be proud of what we did.
Close to a million men? I suppose if you include the militia which couldn't leave Australia (and, famously, PNG)..Not least because we couldn't afford the loss of manpower for production at home (shuting down farming, factories, docks, railways, mines and the like would have been tough). Realistically, we had, maybe, 100K of 'real' troops.
We also didn't have the means to build large warships, without which there is no way we could fight such a war with any degree of success.
We helped out around the edges...We were certainly useful, but only that.

Actually by the end of WW2 Australia was ranked behind(well behind) the USA, USSR and the UK as the 4th most powerful Military power in the world.
Most able bodied people worked in the War Effort no matter what sex or age(to a point of course) if they wanted to be part of the War Effort they were allowed too.
Why do you demean Australia's military achievements?
