Agreed, Bosnia was a serious hodgepodge of weird equipment being used.
It included, briefly, a kinda sort functional Panther. In short, the gun and turret worked, but didn't drive. Used it as a bunker briefly till it knocked out a pair of Serb T72's (Could been the Yugo Clone, but I don't know for sure) and got all sorts of Serbian attention afterwords. The source for this was a Russian Observer who noted that 50 years later, the Panther was still giving the russians fits.
