Notes: The Jordanian Temsah (Crocodile) is a heavily armored APC designed in response to Israel's tank-based APCs and problems with Palestinian rebels. It is based on the chassis of the Centurion main battle tank, with the interior rearranged to provide a passenger compartment in the rear and the driver and engine in the front. The engine has been replaced with the smaller, yet more efficient one as mounted in the M-60 tank series. Radiological protection has been enhanced, and there are lugs for reactive armor (HF, HS). The side skirts are substantial and provide additional protection against HE-based rounds. There is a casemated turret near the center of the hull with a 20mm autocannon, a machinegun, and two launchers for AT-4 or ZT-3 Swift ATGM. In this turret is also a detector for laser targeting devices; when a targeting device is detected, the grenade launchers automatically launch smoke grenades in the path of the laser, and diesel fuel is injected into the exhaust. Most of the design work for this vehicle was done by South Africa, but the modification work was carried out in Jordan. There is a hatch on the front left deck for the driver, one opposite that for the commander, and two small hatches in the rear deck for standing infantrymen. The passenger area is accessed by a power ramp in the rear. The Temsah was introduced at an arms show in 2001, but doesn’t appear to have been put into production as of yet.

Twilight 2000 Notes: This vehicle began low-rate production in 1996, but as the Twilight War commenced it was felt that even outmoded tanks were more valuable and Temsah conversions were nearly stopped after 1997.

Merc 2000 Notes: Some of these vehicles showed up in Iraqi service, and a very few were even used by South Africa, but it is still a rather rare vehicle.
