#1 M-113s?

Sounds like Jordan is having a garage sale.

Gee those things are as old as I am...if they are ex-Viet Nam vintage hardware, I might have crapped myself in one of them.

#2 I would hope they are new enough to have diesel engines vs gas. Which is still really old.

#3 Interesting picture, had to look. That's a 155 Creusot "Long Tom". From Wiki:

During the Second Boer War the guns were deployed as field guns and siege guns at Vaal Krantz,[3] Ladysmith, Mafeking, Kimberley and Bergendal. During the early stages of the war these guns gave the Boers an advantage as they had longer range than any British guns that were deployed in South Africa at the time.[4] After all their ammunition had been expended, the guns were destroyed one by one, to prevent them from falling into British hands.

#5 Where you get Iran from Grom? These are going to the Leb Army, which is more Christian and Druze these days.
