1 - Jordan leased 2 CN-235 aircraft from Turkey for a number of years before initiating a contract with ATK in the United States in 2009 to convert the aircraft to a side-firing gunship configuration.
2 - Some or all of these aircraft were transferred to Iraq between 2005 and 2007.
3 - These aircraft were initially acquired on an lease in 1994 that was extended into 1995. Whether they were purchased outright afterwards is unclear.
4 - Jordan can be authoritatively understood to have received PAC-2 missile systems circa 2003, but the sale and delivery are thinly attested.
