If you are talking about the fighting after Eritrean independence there definitely were tanks involved. There were also modern jets, at least on the Ethiopian side. Both countries spent a great deal of money on modern equipment. |
Could not remember which but Eretria does not get tanks till early 80's |
After a protracted guerilla war against various Ethiopian governments, Eritrea officially became independent in 1993 under the leadership of the Eritrean People's Liberation Front. The war between independent Eritrea and Ethiopia began in 1998. There are various reasons war broke out, but I'm inclined to think it was very much a personal issue between the Eritrean and Ethiopian leaders.
