Jordan will purchase Arlan armored vehicles as part of its recently signed military cooperation agreement with Kazakhstan.
Kazakhstan Paramount Engineering, a joint venture that began business in 2015, has stated the Kingdom of Jordan plans to buy 50 Arlan vehicles, though it has not been disclosed exactly how many were purchased.

In addition to the vehicles, Jordan will also procure 12.7mm guns, night vision sights, and additional equipment. It is not yet known when the equipment is scheduled for delivery.

The Arlan is an armored vehicle designed to transport 10 military personnel with a high level of protection.

The vehicle can also be used for armored vehicle fire support operations, or as an anti-missile launcher.

Our former housemaid is presently in Jordan. Last year when she arrived there, she said that the people were alert because of talks about being invaded by ISIS. The fear lasted for a month until the government issued an assurance to their citizens. Maybe that military vehicle can be a symbol of guaranteed protection for the people of Jordan. And we hope that the peace will remain because we learned that there are many Filipinos there.
