AMMAN

Turkey and Jordan have inked a military cooperation agreement, the Jordanian army said in a statement on Feb. 20.

The deal came that same day, after Turkish Chief of General Staff Gen. Hulusi Akar met with Jordan’s King Abdullah II and his Jordanian counterpart Mahmoud Freihat.

The two army chiefs discussed international and regional developments, as well as cooperation and coordination between the two countries’ militaries, the statement added.

Akar arrived in Amman earlier that day for talks with Jordanian officials.

The king’s meeting with Akar took up aspects of military cooperation between Jordan and Turkey and efforts aimed at fighting terrorism, the Jordanian Royal Court said in a statement.

I'm an American with dual citizenship to Jordan and the US. Does anybody know if it would be hard to join KADDB with a mechanical engineering degree? I don't speak Arabic that well but can read well and write okay. The reason I'm asking is because I think being an engineer in the US is too hard because of too much competition and would like to help Jordanian military inventions and innovations.

Jordan's special forces are some of the best in the Middle East

Jordan's special forces team, grouped under Jordan's Joint Special Operations Command, is 14,000 strong and is one of the most effectivefighting and intelligence forces in the region. Jordanian special forces frequently train alongsideUS forces.

Meanwhile, Jordan is a global center for special forces training operations. Jordan's King Abdullah Special Operations Training Center (KASOTC) is thecenterpiece of the country's Special Operations capabilities and is routinely used by other countries.

The facility, which includes training like simulated airline hijackings and close-quarter fighting in addition to K9 integration exercises, also hosts theannual Special Operations Forces Exhibition and Conference.

This focus reflects ruler King Abdullah II's past assignment within the nation's special forces and his certification as a Cobra pilot. In 1996, with US help, Abdullah began the reorganization of the country's special forces into a more modern force.

@The SC Do you know which missiles the UAE purchased in their AED64,652,329 purchase of Missiles and Binoculars from KADDB from IDEX 2019. I'm assuming they are either the Jadara Terminator or the RPG-32 but if you could find more info on Arabic sites I would appreciate it.
I do think its good that these two countries are helping each other and that Jordan can sustain itself and in conflict you can be assured Jordan will not boycott the UAE.

Al Mared 8x8 pictures.


Al Mared at a parade for the Sultan of Brunei in October of 2018

Secondary variant seen in video?????? @Wilhelm II since your internet is expensive for videos I screenshotted the pictures and put them here. This is Arab made and I know you will like it.

Factory leads me to believe that that the ones seen in the top version are indeed the production variants and the second variant was a prototype but not fully sure.

 

[Philip the Arab]

What looks to be a tank destroyer variant?

My thoughts are that the Al Mared will be replacing the Ratel in service because they are getting 30+ years old by now and maintaining them is getting expensive.

Jordanian defence industry is more serious than Egypt. I am upset for Egypt defence industry because by Egypt capacity it should be best in the region. What is new about falcon turret?

The Falcon Turret project was cancelled sadly because the Challenger 1s are going out of service and being replaced by the B1 Centauros. More projects will be made by KADDB and unveiled at SOFEX 2020. Jordan doesn't really have a lot of money to buy new equipment every year so they give tasks to KADDB to recycle old equipment and extend the lifecycle.
Then KADDB can do its own projects which have been pretty successful and have been sold to 28 countries. In IDEX 2019 KADDB made about 77 million USD or about 3,242,085,000,000.00 Iranian Riyal.
This is the gun from the M109 put on a wheeled platform because the M109 is getting old.





Yeah the Al Mared is huge but French use a huge vehicle as well VBCI IFV. It its 7.6 meters long, 3 meters tall, and 3 meters wide so pretty much the same size as the Al Mared albeit it looks better. If the French have such a big vehicle that means that big vehicles are used by Western countries. This will I think replace the Ratel IFV in Jordanian service.

VBCI

This is the Al Mared on the bottom. It may look bigger but the specifications are pretty much the same in terms of length, width, and height. If I could give recommendations to KADDB I would tell them to curve the part where the wheels end.


In my opinion they should take the design of the Centauros they received and use that on future armored vehicles they use.
