I've done a bit of reading on the conficts of '67 and '73. If I remember correctly the Israelis were always concerned when they had to engage the Jordanians due to the professional training they had received from British advisors (ie: Arab Legion – '48 and on). I think the two Jordanian armored brigades were the 40th and 60th, both equiped with US tanks. |
