Jordan to receive Cheetah SPAAGs later this year - IHS Jane's 360

The Netherlands is planning to transfer the first batch of surplus Cheetah self-propelled anti-aircraft guns (SPAAGs) to Jordan this summer, the Dutch Ministry of Defence (MinDef) announced on 17 February.

The Cheetah is the Dutch version of the German Gepard SPAAG, which uses the chassis of the Leopard 1 tank.

It was announced last year that 60 would be transferred to Jordan. The EUR21 million (USD29 million) deal also includes 350,000 35 mm shells for the Cheetah's Oerlikon guns, 22 40 mm Bofors 40L70 towed air-defence guns, 11 Thales Flycatcher radar systems, five Leopard 1 armoured engineering vehicles, and 14 spare Leopard 1 chassis.

The MinDef also announced that four Jordanian soldiers are currently being trained as Cheetah trainers in the Netherlands. "In seven weeks you can only learn the basics, but we make sure they leave with enough knowledge," it quoted one of the Dutch trainers as saying.

Can you post some photos of the Royal Navy Force and the Royal Coast Guard of Aqaba?
Our navy force is modest due to the fact that we only have 27 km long coast.

Royal Naval Force - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

What is the tactic-doctrine for such vehicle ?
As our foe in the region has a formidable numbers of armored vehicles and tanks, we focus on building up anti tank vehicles. Those will be further upgraded by KADDB.

Seems to me that JAF has a very strong Armoured Corp.


Whats the point? Jordan is a staunch ally of USA and will never help any muslim country against Israel or USA. Infact, will probably use its weapons on other muslim countries on the pressure from USA.
