It's probably accurate that they can manufacture ~~10~~ 20 to 90 new tanks a month, the bulk of what they have been putting on the field now are tanks they have pulled from long term storage.

I'd imagine they would have to be checked over, relubricated, and have any decayed rubber components (hoses and such) replaced.

The main thing is the loss of the trained tank crews they had at the start of the war.

Also, the older tanks they're fielding now require more of the crew (less automation, no modern optics) and can be more fatiguing to the crew as comfort was less of a design concern of the time period.

Edit:

Found an article that claims they can produce 20-90 tanks a ~~day~~ month.
