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.

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 has a ring mount for a heavy machinegun or similar weapon, while the commander has a mount for a light machinegun or similar weapon.
