Equipment
Despite the UN embargo and other restrictions, the HVO had sufficient quantities of small arms and automatic weapons. The main deficiency was in artillery and mortar ammunition inasmuch as the lack of raw materials precluded any substantial internal production. The 1993–94 edition of The Military Balance credits the HVO (throughout the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina) with some 50 main battle tanks (including T-34 and T-55 models) and around five hundred artillery pieces.
