In order to increase Jordan’s defense industry capacity and strengthen the capabilities of the Jordanian Armed Forces (JAF), important strategic agreements were signed between MKE Inc. and the Jordanian Design and Development Bureau (JODDB) and the Jordanian Armed Forces (JAF).

Under the first of the agreements, a small arms ammunition production line with an annual capacity of 30 million units will be established. This project covers ammunition in 5.56 mm x 45, 7.62 mm x 39, 7.62 mm x 51 and 9 mm x 19 calibers. The first two phases of the project have been successfully completed and production is planned to begin with the completion of the third phase in October 2024.

Another agreement signed between MKE Inc. and the Jordanian Armed Forces in July 2024 envisages the establishment of filling and assembly lines for 81 mm and 120 mm mortar ammunition, 155 mm M107 artillery ammunition, and MK81, MK82 and MK84 aircraft bombs.

In addition, MKE Inc. has submitted a technical and commercial offer to the Jordanian Armed Forces (JAF) for the HAR-66 Anti-Tank and Anti-Personnel Rocket with an annual capacity of 30,000. Following the demo firings to be carried out in 2024, cooperation issues regarding the establishment of the assembly line of the HAR-66 rocket and the sale of 2,000 HAR-66 rockets will be discussed.

(I wonder if this also gives us a rough idea about what some of MKE's production capabilities might be, if they can build those lines in a foreign country)

Annual capacity of 30000 RPG sounds good.

Annual capacity of 30 millions small arms ammunitions is not much.

MKE's manufacturering capacity would be an order of magnitude than that.

First of all, this Forum has different Threads for a reason. Use them appropriately.

Turkish-Egyptian deals have favorable terms for Egypt and less favorable terms for Turkey, compared to an alternative scenario where the current government did not treat Egypt as an enemy in the region based on their inner-group Muslim Brotherhood ally ideology.

Many of our defence deals with Egypt included tech transfers which Egypt took by leveraging their position in Mid East and East Med against Turkey.

What exactly did we give to Egypt? And does Egypt have the capability to receive what we gave to them? We talked about ToT in the past. It is not magic. Let's assume an alien civilization visited Earth and decided to transfer the technology of UFOs to us. Do you think we can successfully produce one ourselves?
