Why is the guy carrying an Uzi? Noone uses that gun in actual operations. Seems more like photo-op than actual training.

It a training session in the Jordanian police training ground, open to world police.

KADDB launches Al Jawad Mk IV internal security vehicle

Jordan's King Abdullah II Design and Development Bureau (KADDB) has completed a pre-production example of its latest 4x4 Al Jawad Mk IV internal security vehicle (ISV).

The vehicle is based on a Ford 550 series chassis, which has been fitted with a new all-welded steel armour hull, which is said to provide ballistic protection to level CEN B6 standard.

The overall layout is similar to the earlier 4x4 Al Jawad Mk III ISV, which has been built in significant numbers for the domestic market as well as a number of export customers.

"This is a new design and we started with a clean sheet of paper but retained the name Al Jawad as our existing customers are very familiar with this brand name," said a member of the KADDB design team.

The Mk IV features a more streamlined design with the protected engine compartment at the front of the vehicle.

The crew compartment extends to the rear and has seats for the commander, driver, and eight dismounts who are seated four on either side facing inwards. There are doors in the sides and rear, and vision blocks and associated firing ports are also provided.

The Mk IV features a single door in the rear while previous vehicles had twin doors. Special attention has been provided to the door and hatch design to avoid any bullet splash from entering.

The front and rear wheel arches have been redesigned and will now detach if the vehicle hits an obstacle.................Read more

Jordan to sell Osa SAMs

The Jordan Armed Forces (JAF) is retiring its 9K33 Osa (SA-8 ‘Gecko’) mobile surface-to-air missile systems as part of its on-going reorganisation, a Jordanian military source has confirmed to Jane’s .

The JAF announced on its website in late September that it was offering 52 Osas for sale. The source said five countries and companies have expressed interest in purchasing the systems, including the Czech Republic, Poland, Ukraine, and a US company. Both Poland and Ukraine are still Osa operators, but the Czechs retired theirs in 2006.

The JAF was considering contracting Belarus to upgrade its Osas, but decided to abandon the modernisation programme as it was unable to find the required money, the source said.
