"Jordan has received an initial batch of 16 ex-German Marder infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs) on the 11th December of 2016 as part of German military aid. The delivery also included 20 mm RH202 autocannons, spare parts and a Marder driver training vehicle. It must be noted that the permission for an export of 24 Marders, 28 Rh 202 autocannons and one Marder driver training vehicle to Jordan was given for 2016. The costs of this equipment is €12.80 EUR million. This means that most likely a second batch of Marders will be shipped this year. A total of 50 Marder IFVs are being delivered to Jordan until end of 2017. Furthermore Jordan is set to receive surveillance equipment, 56 vans and 70 trucks. The military aid to Jordan is part of a bigger initiative, which costs about €100.00 EUR million in 2016 and €130.00 EUR million in 2017. Other recipients of the German military aid are the Iraq, Tunesia, Mali, Nigeria and Niger. Jordan received about €25.00 EUR million from the German government in order to be able to purchase the Marders…" link Main page link Amicalement Armand

Probably liked them better than the M2 Bradleys. Which is not too hard to believe. The M2 has gone thru a number of upgrades, refits, etc., over time. To make it more effective and survivable on the current battlefield.
