Mostly Russian armour. I have seen a T-55/M36 hybred and they also had M10 and M36 TDs

The former Yugoslavia built a lot of Soviet/Russian equipment under license, but I don't know if Serbia has those licenses now.

Not that they would stop building without a license anyway.

What's in the movie may not be accurate as to actual Serbian Army equipment (did I say movie producers aren't worried about accuracy?) and I've only seen the show once. After watching Shanghai Noon, I just couldn't take to Owen Wilson in the lead role.

AFV's in the former Yugoslavia were a mix of Soviet,US and indigenous vehicles.Indig. veh's include the M-60 APC,M80 IFV and the BOV series of wheeled APC's.The M-84 is the yugoslav variant of the T72.It had a more powerful engine and a different fire control system.The M-18 Hellcat and later versions of the Sherman were also used.

IIRC, I saw the following vehicles in the movie:

SA-13 Gopher - It is available from Skif. It really needs a p/e set to make it look good.
T-72 - I'm not sure which variant is in the movie, but Tamiya and Dragon both have T-72 kits on the market.
BMP-2 - Available from Dragon and Esci. The Esci is the better kit, but the link and length tracks should be replaced.
