Jordanian-made Al-Wahsh 4x4 armored vehicle personnel carrier.

A product of Jordanian Company KADDB, the King Abdullah II Design & Development Bureau, the Al-Wahsh is manufactured by affiliate company JLVM (Jordan Light Vehicle Manufacturing) in partnership with Britain’s Jankel Group Limited (UK).

Built on a Czech TATRA heavy-duty 4×4 cross-country truck chassis, Al-Wahsh (literal translation: The Monster) is crewed by two and can transport up to eight troops. The vehicle weighs about 18 tonnes. The vehicle is powered by a 370-hp diesel coupled to a six-speed automatic transmission, providing a maximum road speed of up to 110 km/h. The vehicle is fitted with an independent suspension system with an approach angle of 30° and a departure angle of 40°. The vehicle can reach 110km/h (69mph) on-road.

The APC is fitted with a STANAG 4569 Level 2 ballistic protection package. The Al-Wahsh displayed at IDEX 2019 was fitted with an RCWS (Remote Controlled Weapon System) armed with a heavy machine gun.
