In 1964, the Royal Jordanian Army would have had the following:
516 tanks (297 M48A1, 160 M47, 105 Centurion, 24 Charioteer)
370 armoured cars (240 Daimler Ferret, 130 Saladin)
400 armoured personnel carriers (150 Saracen, 250 M113)
36 tank destroyers (36 Archer)
90 anti-tank guns (90 17-pdr)
56 self-propelled howitzers (20 M44, 36 M52)
151 artillery pieces (25 M115, 18 M59, 108 25-pdr)
See here.
The air force would have had around 30-40 fighter aircraft composed of Hawker Hunter and de Havilland Vampires.

I mean I've essentially said he has modern main battle tanks that are just as good, if not more effective, than the Conqueror. But no matter, they'll just be massive targets for UAR jets.

Also considering that the Middle East is mostly open desert, with little to no cover, I think your air-superiority once re-established will be more then enough to balance a few Conquers or whatever.

It won't be re-established. Jordan hasn't attacked air bases in Syria or Iraq so as far as I am concerned, the UAR's air force is intact. And given Jordan seems to be using WW2 aircraft, it should be a cakewalk.

Yes but that's not to say Jordan still has a relatively in-tact airforce as well, and with French reinforcements coming in a few days, complimented by the Hashbrown's intial advancements, its going to be a much tougher war with greater strain on both nations.

There's a counter-attack taking place. Advancing on one axis opens the attack up to being outflanked. The UAR's plan for Jordan was to advance simultaneously. It will take a few days or weeks for the French assistance to arrive, but the AMX-30 is very lightly armoured thanks to the French simply giving up on up-armouring their tanks. It's thin enough that the T-34/85's could pen it.
Besides, the Soviets are also bringing their support so any French naval influence would be countered by the Soviets, as NATO doesn't exist, there's no reason why the Black Sea fleet couldn't arrive in the Mediterranean.

But you haven't responded to any foreign support offers. The French would be arriving any day now since they have a Mediterranean port.The National Dominion of Hungary wrote:Heyah Costa, did you see the Soviet message to the UAR?

-shrug- If they aren't up for it, i'm sure another nation would be=what the deal entails is basically the allowance of the Kingdom of Deseret to offer jobs to citizens in a foreign country, like the UoAS. No one would be being forced into coming over.
