I heard that Lesany obtain a Chieftain from Jordan for T-55. It might be a Jordan Tank.

Could be former Iranian captured by Iraq and then found it's way to Jordan Mr. Green

But that's pure speculation on my part since I really don't have enough knowledge of Chieftains to tell one from another.

I was told the former Iranian M60A1's that were captured by Iraq and then found by US forces ended up in Jordan as "Scrap Metal" sales. Kinda funny since they didn't take any other models in mass quantities Rolling Eyes

. Then again, they do have the capability to rebuild/upgrade them Wink
