Ils ont des arguments de vente en bêton armé chez Aselsan
Chapeau aux jordaniens. Un beau mbt, en quantité, avec apport local, à se demander s'il ne faudrait pas faire venir des jordaniens à Rabat pour aider à dépoussiérer notre cavalerie. Entre autre.

La Jordanie commande 50 Mbombe 6x6 aux Sud-Africains de Paramount
Lors du salon IDEX 2015, la Jordanie a commandé au Paramount Group 50 Mbombe 6x6. Il pourrait s'agir du premier lot d'une commande plus vaste.
Par ailleurs, c'est la première vente de ce type de blindé qui a été dévoilé en 2010 et qui se décline en 5 versions: transport de troupes, PC, antichar, mortiers de 120 mm, soutien à l'infanterie)
Ces véhicules de combat de l'infanterie, capables de transporter 11 soldats (le conducteur, le chef d’engin, le tireur et 8 fantassins entièrement équipés) vont être construits en Afrique du Sud et en Jordanie (pays où Paramount travaille en partenariat avec KADDB Investment Group dans le cadre de la co-entreprise Arabian Defence Industries ).

WASHINGTON, Mar 5, 2015 – The State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to Jordan for M31 Unitary Guided Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (GMLRS) Rocket Pods and associated equipment, parts, training and logistical support for an estimated cost of $192 million. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying Congress of this possible sale on March 4, 2015.
The Government of Jordan has requested a possible sale of 72 M31 Unitary Guided Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (GMLRS) Rocket Pods (6 rockets per pod for a total of 432), support equipment, spare and repair parts, publications and technical data, personnel training and equipment, systems integration support, U.S. Government and contractor engineering and logistics personnel services, and other related elements of logistics support. The estimated cost is $192 million.
This proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and national security of the U.S. by helping to improve the security of a partner country that has been and continues to be an important force for political stability and economic progress in the Middle East. It is vital to the U.S. national interest that Jordan develops and maintains a strong and ready self-defense capability. This proposed sale is consistent with the U.S. regional objectives and will not impact the regional stability in the Middle East. The proposed sale of GMLRS will improve Jordan’s capability to meet current and future threats on its borders and provide greater security for its economic infrastructure. The GMLRS will provide the Royal Jordanian Armed Forces (JAF) a long-range precision artillery support capability that will significantly improve U.S.-JAF interoperability and provide for the defense of vital installations. Jordan will have no difficulty absorbing these additional systems into its armed forces. The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region. The principal contractor will be Lockheed Martin Missile and Fire Control in Dallas, Texas. There are no known offset agreements proposed in connection with this potential sale. Implementation of this sale will not require the assignment of any additional U.S. Government or contractor representatives to Jordan. There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.

King visits air base, briefed on tasks
Amman, Mar 3 (Petra) – His Majesty King Abdullah II, the Supreme Commander of the Jordan Armed Forces- Arab Army, on Tuesday visited the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base, where he was welcomed by Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, King's military adviser, General Mashal al Zabin, HRH Prince Faisal Ibn al Hussein and the Royal Air Force Commander.
The King was updated by the base commander on the progress of training and administrative matters, while the First Fighter Squadron commander gave a briefing on the duties and tasks being carried out by the squadron.
During a meeting with the air base personnel, King Abdullah expressed his satisfaction with the distinguished level of the Royal Air Force pilots' performance and morale as well as the level of training and precision they had displayed in implementing their tasks.
The King commended the heroism and sacrifices of Royal Air Force falcons in the wars the armed forces had fought in defence of Arab soil, stressing that the martyrdom of hero pilot Muath al Kasasbeh underlined these sacrifices.
General Zabin said he was proud of the armed forces, which enjoyed the full care and attention of King Abdullah in terms of armament and preparedness to be among the most advanced armies of the region and the world.

Lawmakers Push White House to Lend Drones to Jordan
Members of Congress suggest allowing Jordan to borrow surplus predators in fight against Islamic State
WASHINGTON—Members of Congress are pushing the Obama administration to embrace a plan to lend older-model, surplus drones to Jordan for the fight against the Islamic State extremist group.
In a Republican-led letter to the White House, 23 House members said Monday that Jordan should be allowed to borrow U.S. Air Force-owned MQ-1 Predator drones.
“Under this proposal,” the letter said, “Jordanian pilots would fly the operational missions, but the assets themselves would remain under the ownership of the Air Force.”
The Air Force is currently replacing its MQ-1 fleet with the more advanced MQ-9 Reapers, which are more heavily armed. As a result, a portion of the fleet of older Predators is currently not in use, and those drones aren’t considered critical to U.S. missions, according to a Congressional official.
Predators typically carry two Hellfire missiles. A congressional official said that under the plan, the U.S. would loan three or four Predators to Jordan. That would be enough drones to keep at least one aloft around the clock.
Jordan is an active member of the U.S.-led coalition against Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL, and has intensified its involvement after a Jordanian pilot captured by the extremist group was burned to death while locked in a cage.
In meetings with members of Congress, Jordan has requested clearance to purchase armed and unarmed drones from General Atomics.
The Obama administration has loosened the rules for selling armed drones to allied nations, but the U.S. hasn’t given Jordan an export license to buy Predators. Lending the drones to Jordan, according to Congressional officials, would get around concerns about the misuse of the Predators because the Air Force would effectively maintain a veto over how Amman uses them.
Jordanian officials declined to comment on their request for drones or the proposal to lend drones to them. General Atomics, maker of the Predator drone, also declined to comment.
The White House referred questions to the State Department. State Department officials said they wouldn’t comment on any proposed arm sales or transfer. But they said the new policy sets out a framework for evaluating requests.
Defense officials questioned whether the U.S. has many surplus Predators available. Many of the drones not currently in use are part of the military’s so-called surge capability, held in reserve for emergencies. The Air Force holds about 20 drones as part of its surge capability.
The U.S. Air Force has a shortage of drone pilots, making it difficult for the U.S. to fly the surplus predators themselves. Jordanian pilots, trained to fly F-16 fighters, could be relatively easily retrained to fly the drones, according to congressional officials. A senior defense official said, however, that there are no intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance trainers to spare.
“We are using every ISR pilot out there,” the official said.
Jordanian fighter planes have mostly struck fixed targets in Syria, rather than moving vehicles or other so-called dynamic targets. Acquiring their own drones could expand the range of targets Jordanian forces could strike.
General Atomics would handle the maintenance, launch and recovery of the planes, according to the proposal. Rep. Duncan Hunter (R., Calif.), whose district is near the California headquarters of General Atomics, took the lead in drafting the letter and has been pushing the administration to provide drones for Jordan.
In all 22 Republicans signed the letter. Rep. Scott Peters (D., Calif), whose district includes General Atomics headquarters, was the only Democrat to sign the letter.
In a statement, Mr. Hunter said the proposal would enable Jordan to get drones more quickly than it could through a purchase agreement. Because of high demand for unmanned aircraft, the wait time to purchase a new drone can be months long, Mr. Hunter said.
“Jordan can start hitting ISIS tomorrow with greater intensity and effectiveness simply by providing them use of non-mission-critical assets in the region or elsewhere,” Mr. Hunter said.
The letter said if Jordan is not allowed to acquire American drones, it has signaled its interest to buy aircraft from China. If Jordan were to acquire drones from China, the letter said, it would hurt the U.S defense industry, open a new market for Beijing, and make it more difficult for the U.S. and Jordan to operate side-by-side in the fight against the Islamic State.
“We risk Jordan going elsewhere for the capability—and that creates a whole new set of problems that conflict with our own security interests,” Mr. Hunter said.

La jordanie a deja essuye un refus pour les Predator mais les congressmen (a leur tete le senateur republicain de californie je crois) font pression pour changer ca. https://far-maroc.forumpro.fr/t455p360-armee-jordanienne-jordanian-armed-forces Ce qui est interressant dans l'article c'est que dans les annees qui viennent il y'aura du Predator dispo chez les US (Remplacement en cours par des Reaper) peut etre qu'on devrait essaye d'en recuperer.
