thanks its very informative,
but lets say in the mediterean sea wouldnt countering submarines easier ? with of course specialised modern anti submarine tactics, wouldnt it be very hard to hide there ?
AIP subs are deadly,real killers.
Almost all Mediterranian navies have them,without them your navy is just a ''Navy'' in name.
The problem for your country is experience in submarine warfare,its not just training the crew(2,5 years) but also the interoperability between the various navy systems(frigates,corvettes,air assets,subs etc) which takes at least a decade to master.

Maybe morocco should acquire the mini submarines from turkey. Its called sbtm-500 right?

No,you should go for 4 AIP subs,do it right from the beginning.
I wish, but does not seem like morocco have been interested enough in modernizing its navy, but its talks about 2 Frem frigates. 12.8 billion usd budget for this year. However its many incidents that are happening close in our EEZ, and even more with the discovery of the tropical mountain with minerals that are reported to be close to a thrillion dollars!

Morocco GDP is 112 billion USD in 2020.

For its population (37 million) it must be increased much more than that.

I am guessing 12.8 billion is the entire govt budget? Seems too big for just military.

Anyway the economic growth was quite good up to 2008 and has floundered since:


This is of greatest importance to figure out why and rectify...... before serious defence development (which needs very intensive funds) can be considered.

Mineral deposits btw always sound good till you hear the costs of recovering them and processing....generally only some % is feasible to exploit.

The only way to true development is to develop your people.

The total amount of expenses for this upcoming fiscal year is set at MAD 519.2 billion ($57 billion). I agree without you! But things are catching up this year with a growth at 4-5 %. Unfortanely we not a rich arab country, but we are building our country slowly with industry.Mining is hard, and even more hard when its deep sea mining. The tropical mountain located close to the canary islands is a very interesting place. Its filled up with minerals, but i still have not read anything signifcant about the development that will happen there.
