Wonder if it is related to C-295.

Towards the first “Made in Morocco” aircraft

Does not really make sense, does it? Why would Morocco make a deal with India to produce an aircraft that belongs to Airbus? I hope personally that it's related to another aircraft that has been on my wishlist for the past 12 months

From India, there is a proposal to jointly produce a complete aircraft in Morocco.

Sanjay Rana, the Indian Ambassador to Morocco, revealed that advanced discussions are underway between Rabat and New Delhi to expand industrial and defense cooperation. This cooperation goes beyond the inauguration of the manufacturing plant in Berrechid by Tata last year. It includes an ambitious project to jointly produce a complete aircraft in Morocco.

If it's something pursued under the Tata Group, I'm wondering if it might be related to the Grob G180 SPn. Tata purchased all the IP rights of this plane from Grob Aircraft a while ago, so now only Tata can authorize its construction.

If they're talking about any Indian aircraft (not under Tata), it could be any one of HAL's or NAL's IPs. Wish they said what kind of aircraft it is (fixed wing, rotary wing, civil, military?).

They did not specify if it would be a civilian or a military aircraft. There are no indications as of now, but we are aware that India has offered major military platforms to Morocco. Since the Indian ambassador to Morocco mentioned it openly, it means that a deal is possible between the two nations. I wish for MK2, it would be a dream for sure.
