AMMAN — The Jordan Armed Forces (JAF) on Wednesday signed a deal with a South African defence manufacturer to buy 50 customised Mbombe combat vehicles.

JAF signed the agreement with Paramount Group on the sidelines of the Special Operations Forces Exhibition (SOFEX) 2014 being held in Amman, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

The vehicle will be one of the products of a joint venture between King Abdullah II Design and Development Bureau and Paramount, Africa’s largest defence and aerospace business which have partnered to produce an array of defence products and solutions in Jordan. 

The two sides announced they agreed to set up facilities related to the project “soon”.

A top executive from Paramount has said the venture would put Jordan on track to become a key defence exporter.
