The news is published in Arabic media, so I searched it in English and didn't find but this one. We both know about it months ago from Dutch media nonetheless, first posted by Doritos..

Did you translate it yourself or was it uploaded by third party?

That is good I think Jordan should have at least 150 to 200 4.5 Generation fighter jets

Why so much? Israel made peace with them ages ago; both of them now receive military aids from the US. Although I support this purchase but I won't go as far as procuring a hundred and something 4.5 warplanes.
