KADDB AB3 Black Iris
Notes: This is a
Jordanian fast attack vehicle that is similar in many respects to the FAVs of
other countries. It was developed
with the help of the British, and was combat tested by Jordanian special
operations troops assigned to UN forces in Sierra Leone in 2001.
The Jordanians were completely satisfied and placed a large order for the
vehicle to replace Jeeps in several of their units.
Up to four weapons may be mounted, depending upon the size of the
weapons, with one in front fired by the commander, two overhead weapons fired by
rear seat passengers, and one in the rear.
The rear area may carry weapons as large as TOW ATGM, but the two
overhead weapons mounts may not be used in such a case.
The AB3 is powered by a Toyota 4-cylinder diesel developing 102
horsepower, with a manual 6-speed transmission. The suspension is 4x4 and each
wheel is independently sprung.

KADDB AB5 SFV (Special Forces Vehicle)
Notes: This is a
much-modified Land Rover Defender 110, used by Jordan as a special operations,
patrol, and fast attack vehicle.
Like the AB3, it was first used operationally in Sierra Leone and then
large-scale orders were made. The
roll cage, derived from that of the AB3, has a ring mount for a heavy machinegun
or similar weapon, while the commander has a mount for a light machinegun or
similar weapon. The AB5 uses a Land
Rover chassis with a new body and roll cage. There is a winch up front with a
capacity of 3 tons and 65 meters of cable. The AB5 typically has no roof or
sides, but sheet steel body panels may be mounted if desired. The engine is a
Rover 3.5-liter gasoline engine developing 134 horsepower.
