Tank Factory Utilization 1939 – 1993
Plant 75 - Malyshev Khar'kov Tank Plant [Ukraine]
The T-648 was assembled at the tank plant in Khar'kov. T-64A production ceased after T-64B production hit full stride, but this was not confirmed in the West. T-64As were still being delivered to army units, but it is unclear if these vehicles were new or transfers from units that are receiving newer equipment. In recent years, Khar'kov's annual serial production probably amounted to somewhere between 500 and 800 vehicles a year.
Plant 174 - Omsk Tank Plant
The T -80 was in serial production at Omsk. It was difficult for several reasons to predict future annual tank production levels at Omsk. Despite its capacity, Omsk never produced as many tanks as Nizhniy Tagil. The last serial production program at Omsk was the T-55, and the annual T-55 production at Omsk never exceeded 1,200 a year. Moreover, Western analysts could discount the possibility that Omsk would serially produce other weapons in addition to tanks.
Plant 183 - Uralvagonzavod Nizhniy Tagil Tank and Railroad Car Manufacturing Plant
The tank plant at Nizhniy Tagil produced tanks of the T-72 series. The respsnsibility for the production of at least one of these variants may have been shifted to Chelyabinsuk. This shift may mean that Nizhniy Tagil will concentrate on the serial production of a new tank. If the history of the T -54/55 series can serve as a guide, the T-72 family, which entered series production in 1974; will remain in production for several more years. This suggests that the new tank may be an advanced variant of the T-72 series. In recent years, Nizhniy Tagil's annual serial production probably amounted to somewhere between 1,700 and 2,300 vehicles a year. In addition to its assembly activities, Nizhniy Tagil manufactured components for use in the modernization of T-54s, T-55s, and T-62s.
Plant 185 - Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant
The plant at Chelyabinsk began assembling T-72s-probably the T-72B, but possibly the basic model with a coincidence rangefinder as well. These tanks probably were intended for the export market. Chelvabinsk could be taking over production of these models from Nizhniv Tagil.
