This book could be best thought of as an 'Iraqi Secret Projects' volume because Saddam Hussein was bent on taking Iraq back to the glory of the Babylonian Empire and Iraq's secret weapons programs largely ceased after he was ousted (claims that Saddam was reconstituting his biological and...
Was the AlHussein originally designated the Shir and was marketed to Iran pre-1979? If my memory serves me correct, it combined the hull of the Challenger with the turret and weapon system of the Chieftain. The program was cancelled due to the Revolution of 1979, but the tanks, which had...
Can you tell me how to get to Jane's old magazines? I need it
Do you have any photos of the KADDB development project for the AlHussein Hybrid tank development tank for the British Challenger 1 ?
Ok, I concede that BAE let them assemble some Hawks, an airframe 50 years old.

...modernized Chieftain fire control system. The turret is definitely Chieftain in this version.
Shir 2 is the basis for Challenger 1, which was bought by both the UK and Jordan. So, a chassis derived from Chieftain plus the new turret.
AlHussein is a locally upgraded Jordanian Challenger 1.
...would have wanted a cross-country capable TEL.
With that said, if such a thing was not available to them they may have accepted a road only vehicle as many countries have done with their first generation TELS (AlHussein / Shahab / DF-31) before trying to move to a cross country capable TEL.
...is that correct, and of course, I dont known if the L30 ammunition is still in production
A possible upgraded could be done by the Jordan ( they had some prototypes) the AlHussein hybrid.
The y replace the L11 by a 120mm CTG smoothbore gun
I must say thta i love the CR.1 in this configuration
