As long as downplaying another non-indian… Whatever. Jordan is close with Israel but I hope Erez can shed a light why Jordan is okayed and Egypt not. I thought that just after Israel, Egypt was second in getting military aid. How come they do not get AMRAAM? Is Egypt moving away from US or is it dangerous for Israel with whom it has treaty?
That’s where you are sadly wrong. Israel is close to the regime. We have peace with the palace, not the street. The Jordanian streets are filled with angry Palestinians.
Egypt isn’t in a much better situation. The existance of a pro western regime in the post Mubbarac age is uncertain. Even though I must say that there are quite a few positive developments in the recent time in the Israeli-Egyptian relationship.
The lifetime of 50 AIM-120C components is time-limited. The replacements for that are coming from the USA. Where is the security problem?
The very same thing was said about the American weapons that the post Shah Iranian regime got in the late 70s, but they continue to operate and manufcture much of it even today.
does the jordanian AF have its own 100% local repair cadre or it employs european/US contractors like the saudis do ?
I don’t know exactly, I think they do their maintenance on their own.
The planes to carry the AMRAAMs are Block 15 F-16 ADFs.
