True. I seen alot of reports on the news. All the helicopters and jets will be either modernized or replaced. On land we see that morocco is looking to start its own defence industry. Have you read any news regarding the navy? The submarine acquisiton have been reported for years and years but no deal closed yet. Last news i heard was about about 2 italian FREMM, but nothing more then that.

after the whole USA FRA AUS debacle, some speculations arose that morocco would be willing to buy said submarines but i doubt they would acquire them , france wouldnt give nuclear submarines to morocco
and so far nothing yet morocco focuses mainly on patrol boats and frigates and corvetter mainly for *migrants*

Still not enough Frigates or corvettes. We have one of the weakest navies in the meditteranian sea. During the almohad empire time the navy was known to be the «first fleet of the Mediterranean". We need more warships, so we can be able to project our power beyond our borders. We have so many problems when it comes to protecting our own EEZ with especially spain
