The visit included a narration of the origins of armor and the history of Jordan, which embodies its participation in several regional conflicts, for example the “Battle of Karameh,” the “Ten-Day War in 1967,” and the “Second Gulf War in 1990.” These wars witnessed the effective employment of these military technologies, as they played a vital role in defense and attack strategy,
This visit had a positive impact in enhancing the knowledge, understanding and awareness of the students by emphasizing the readiness and strength of the (Arab Army - Armor - Tank Brigades) and the military skill enjoyed by our valiant forces, which is increasing day after day.
