 @Foxtrottangoabc Turkey has plans all right, but their indigenous tank programme is hampered by German and French arms embargoes. The tank, the Altay, still lacks a suitable powerpack and armour -- two rather critical components as far as tanks go. They've now turned to South Korea, but the Koreans are licensing German technology as well.

Saddam's tanks were easy enough to pick off in the desert, but the same could not be said about Milosevic's tanks in Kosovo. Despite an intensive aerial bombing campaign, NATO destroyed embarrassingly few of the latter. In a heavily forested environment, camouflage literally grows on trees.
