This recent piece gives some insight into Russian MBT production.

The "one particular plant" is Uralvagonzavod's plant in Nizhny Tagil. It also refurbishes around 8 tanks per month. Three other plants refurbish a total of around 17 tanks per month. One is Omsk Transmash, which works on T-72 and T-80 tanks, bringing them up to T-72B3, T-72B3M, or T-80BVM standard. Another is the 103rd Armored Plant near Chita, which upgrades T-62 to T-62M. I don't know what the third plant is.
