Hello Didn't the Jordanians give the Israelis are rather hard time in 1967? Even if they lost the war? This was well over a decade after they threw out Glubb Pasha. May have been more of an infantry fight than a tank battle, however Also they gave the Syrians a drubbing in a minor tank clash in the 1980's (not sure about the date). Greetings Karl Heinz

But that's not saying much. > Also they gave the Syrians a drubbing in a minor Oh, yeah. Cleaned the Syrian's clock. The Jordanians are better soldiers than their neighbors--because they never bought into that wanna-be Soviet crap. But then again, neither did the Saudis or Kuwaitis and look where they are.
