Did they use 17pounder or 57mm or what? I know they had AT guns but what kind? |

maybe the Russian 100mm towed one |

I think Jordanian kit tended to be more western, the Egyptians and Syrians used 100mm guns though. |

Yes you are correct, the Egyptians and Syrians did use the 100mm. |
| HistoryPhD | 16 Jul 2014 8:49 a.m. PST |
The Egyptians and Syrians probably had some Soviet 85mm too |

Armies of the Middle East by von Pivka in 1979 has the Jordanian army having all Western equipment. Granted it's several years after the War, but it doesn't list any anti tank guns, just 106mm and 120mm RCL and TOW and Dragon ATGWS. On the other hand, 25pdrs are still on the roll, so I would expect that, if AT guns had been in use in 1967, then some would still have been around and have been mentioned by von Pivka in 79. He still lists Egypt as having 900 anti tank guns including 57mm, 85mm and 100mm. |

106mm and 120mm recoilless rifles are OK antitank guns. TOW or Dragon would be a huge improvement, since they have much less backblast to give away their position. |

Like Endless Grubs says, everything I have says 17 pdr. |
