Morocco signs a deal with Israel to build spy satellites.
IAI has signed several agreements with Morocco, and some of these areas are aviation and space industries in the form of a partnership. The agreement regarding space was signed at the beginning of this year.
Most likely yesWork in silence Will we see a production of the Ofeq satellite in Morocco?

loitering munition:
1 - Sky striker
A suicide march appeared with Moroccan long-range PULS launchers. It has a range of 100 km and will be manufactured locally in Morocco. It has a 10 kg warhead and features an electric propulsion.

2- Spy-x
Fruitful cooperation between Morocco, and Bluebird. It can hit targets up to 50 km and have a warhead of 2.5kg.
In minute 1.50 you can see a SPY-X hitting an old decommissioned ratel vehicle.
Wander-B, and Thunder-B reconnaissance drones
Small tactical reconnaissance drones, which is used for ISTAR by the armed forces, as well as maintaining border security. Morocco took notes from the recent wars that have occurred in recent years. Such drones will play an important role in correcting fire from air, or ground assets such as artillery.

This is just the tip of the iceberg!
And what's below the line? Male UAVs?
Edit- what I mean is, is there any secret indeginous male UAV project going on?
Abdellatif Loudiyi, Minister Delegate in charge of the National Defense Administration, revealed that Morocco began working during the current year on preparing a vision for the creation of industrial zones specialized in the field of defense industry, stressing that “the Kingdom has taken firm steps towards establishing an advanced defense industry, and it has a group of foreign requests for investment.”
The Moroccan govt has signed an agreement with Indian companies to provide the Moroccan Army with Indian vehicles:"
Combat vehicles and all sorts of military equipment , to be integrated by the FAR and exportedIn the first months of 2024, there were some claims out there regarding a factory being opened up by TATA in Morocco. Today I'm happy to share with you that the Moroccan branch was established 4 months ago under the name of "Tata Advanced Système Maroc". The factory will manufacture military vehicles in Morocco.
The article mentions that the process will involve development studies, integration, and assembly of vehicles.

In late 2021 NORINCO set up a subsidiary in Morocco. Morocco has signed contracts with China to transfer the technology to maintain our missiles locally, as well as production. Morocco will manufacture ammunition for all Chinese weapons that have been acquired.

you have to give props to Chinese, they know how to set up defence production infra.
I think Morocco will do well hedging with India and Israel too here.
I found this pretty interesting article on Chinese production in Iraq of all places:
China is Making Iraq Military Industry Great Again
An Instagram channel called thedixiemauser published a video from an Iraq Military Industry factory which produces weapons that can be traced back to China.www.thefirearmblog.com
The relations between Morocco, and India are improving day by day. I would not be surprised to hear more deals with India regarding our defense industry. India has made many deals with Israel which Morocco can utilize in the form of technology transfers that Morocco is procuring from Israel. The deal with China is lovely, but nothing compared to what is coming with other partners
I repeat Morocco has announced the establishment of creating two new industrial zones for defense production.
Yes I hope India - Morocco relations continue to expand and deepen, defence and otherwise!
