Algerian millitary bases have increased a lot in the last years, and it shows their hostility that they have towards Morocco. Morocco has for the first time in modern Moroccan history created an eastern military district only this year after 60+ years in Moroccan Sahara. The new military zone is largely seen as a statement of intent meant to indicate Morocco’s readiness to confront any military provocations from its eastern neighbor.
The algerian military sites have been registered to be more then 100, and most of them are centered in the regions of the Far North, Bechar, Umm al-Assal and Tindouf, in addition to central Algeria. Most of the most important Algerian military bases, which are located near Morocco, expose their double standards and official discourses.
In this thread i will publish pictures of different military sites that have appeared on satellite images lately.
Away from the media and cameras, Algeria opened a new air base a few months ago on the outskirts of the Moroccan border in Umm al-Assal in the third military region, and the newly received MIG29M2 fighters appear on the base.
Then we have a base in Tindouf that consist of:
-V-750 missile launchers
-Soviet P-15 monitoring radar
- SNR-75 Fansong engagement radar
Then in lotfi in the third military region we have photos of one of the algerian air bases near M'Hamid El Ghizlane, 96 kilometers from the border with morocco . it seems, the new base will be adopted as an advanced base for Algerian helicopters and interceptor
Algeria has 6 airports close to the Moroccan border, 5 of which are in the Bechar and Tindouf district ( South):
- Ras El-Maa Airport, northeast of bechar
- Houari Boumediene Airport, south of Bashar
-Umm Al-Asal Airport
- tindouf airport
- Al-Mashriah
- Lotfi
Military sites are not necessarily large bases. There are trenches, bases, scattered ammunition depots, small sites, etc., but they are clustered in the same area, and they are four areas, namely, Tindouf, Umm al-Assal, Bashar and Ras al-Maa.
Algeria's intensification of its bases near the Moroccan border is mainly due to the weakness of its logistical fleet and the delivery of supplies by air. The location of many of their bases and airfields near our borders is not a choice, but rather due to the difficulty and lack of regular logistical capabilities.
Accumulating forces and bases on the borders means programming a quick and lightning war that aims to quickly seize some points and areas for the sake of propaganda, and the most important thing is sabotage and inflicting the greatest damage to infrastructure, cities, houses, roads, dams, etc. The border between us is approximately 1,500 km, and the southwest of present-day Algeria is vast and very far from the main railways and roads. Therefore, they have no ability to supply their forces by land. For this reason, their airfields and weapons stores are spread along the borders
The proximity of their bases to the border is a positive thing for Morocco. Morocco's warning will not need long-range ballistic missiles or aircraft to destroy them, only artillery and launchers in a sufficient number, because of the close proximity of under 50 km. With the long-range air defense systems that mrooccohave, most of the airports will become within the Moroccan defense umbrella.
What if Algeria invades from the tindouf- bechar region where most of these bases are present?
In the Moroccan desert, we have more than 400 advanced military sites that are protected by mines and trenches. The sand berm has a first-line defense sand wall, which often reaches 3 defensive lines behind it. The soldiers are armed with anti-vehicle missiles and anti-aircraft guns. Behind many of the different defense lines, morocco has other military points with "Rapid" support forces equipped with various weapons. The only option Algeria would have is to intervene against the areas of the Moroccan army in the desert and try to penetrate the defensive wall, which they have been training on for a long time.
