What this thread will be about is if Jordan can actually offer anything to Pakistan via the main defense company in Jordan KADDB. KADDB offers a variety of systems from land equipment, to troop equipment and most things in between. For example Jordan offers the Al-Mared 8x8 which can have versions like APC, and IFV which I see Pakstan lacks.
Al-Mared
Al-Mared is an 8x8 armored vehicle designed and developed to meet the latest defense and security requirements relied on this entry level. This armored vehicle offers a high level of protection according to STANAG 4569 KE L3 upgradeable to STANAG L4 and can be used for troops transport of up to 10 crewmen and equipment or combat as it is armed with a 30mm Turret and equipped with surveillance, monitoring and communications systems. Variants include APC, and IFV armed with a 30mm cannon. It is based on the Tatra chassis.
Al-Wahsh 105
There is a version called the
Al-Wahsh 105mm which is a howitzer gun integrated on Al - Wahsh 4x4 wheeled vehicle, it was designed to suit artillery requirements (shoot and scoot) since it needs minimal efforts to reduce the readiness time. This could be useful for Pakistan since they have no self propelled 105mm artillery. This vehicle uses the M102 but I think the M101 could maybe be integrated and Pakistan operates many of these M101s.
MAP II
MAP II is a heavy tracked vehicle platform, converted by KADDB based on the platform of Centurion MBT new hull is designed of built with addition of two main crew doors in the front and back of the vehicle. It fulfills multi-purpose roles in the support of mechanized armored units based on their needs. It may be used as a personnel carrier, ammunition carrier, ambulance and command of control vehicle. MAP II provides full protection against medium caliber KE ammunition such as 25mm autocannon for the 13 crew members on board. It can be equipped with a Browning M2 .50 cal, a 7.62 machine gun, and 3 RPG-32 launchers. This could maybe work with Pakistan's Type 59 if they were retired. The armor protection would be the same.
RPG-32
The weapon has the ability to defeat modern heavy-armored tanks and soft-skinned vehicles as well as fortifications and bunkers. On 30th May 013, His Majesty King Abdullah II inaugurated the production facility of RPG-32 “Nash-Shab”. This could help Pakistan by supplementing the RPG-7 maybe.

- 6G40 – Launcher.

Quad RPG-32 "Nashab"
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Quad Nash-shab is a special launching platform designed & built to host four Nashshab rockets (RPG32) with salvo firing capability of two rockets successively to effectively engage of destroy vehicles prototype by E&A and active system.
SYSTEM APPLICATIONS
- The main application is anti-armour applications; especially the MBTs protected by single Explosive Reactive Armour (ERA) package and active defensive aid suits (i.e. Arena).
- The system can also destroy armored targets equipped with double-ERA, OR Hard Kill system by firing two rockets simultaneously.
- The anti-material applications; such as confined buildings & shelters (Thermobaric warheads).
- The close range anti-personal applications utilizing the installed 7.62mm MG.
- Surveillance & distance measuring.
FEATURES
- the operator controls the system through the control unit; a Joystick and a ruggedized touchscreen.
- The system has the ability to switch between two camera modes; one attached to the main sight, the other is a day camera used for surveillance and aiming the machine gun.
- The firing mechanism is controlled via a Firing panel based on a Complex Programmable Logic Devices (CPLD)
- Can be installed on a vehicle with 0.5 ton payload. This introduces new unprecedented anti-armour lethality for this category of vehicle with quite cheap solution rocket systems.
- The system is installed on a customized structure which allows for 360? traverse & from -7? to + 27? elevation.

Cell Phone and JPS jammer
The GPS jamming device broadcasts a noisy RF signal in the frequency range reserved for GPS receivers that interferes with the GPS received signal, which results losing the received GPS Information.
GPS jamming device blocks all satellite by transmitting a high power signal at the same frequencies of the GPS.
A GPS jammer prevents a tracking device in the vehicle from determining its location and speed, Law enforcement and military can deploy GPS frequency jamming.
* READY FOR MASS PRODUCTION

The Falcon Turret could have been good for Pakistani tanks if it had gone through which sadly it has not. It was ahead of its time being unmanned and was much better than the 120mm on the Challenger 1.
