Sorry for late reply, your reply kinda got sink under other notifications. Never realized till yesterday.
The other thing to consider, if Morocco detects Algeria's Kilo suddenly goes out to sea. If they felt something bad is impending they could disperse their jets out of harms way.
When Morocco buys those AGM-88s the US also trained them how to use one.
But its not impossible. The Iranians, Israeli and actually the Ukrainians recently has demonstrated that it is very possible to penetrate those air defense bubbles.
There's a saying in WW2. "The Bombers will always get through"
And this applies too for Algerian bombers trying to penetrate Morocco 's air defense
YupAlgeria for sure will not use iskander to hit the Moroccan Abrams ...It is clearly intended to strike the Moroccan military installations/Fortifications/air defense radars/artillery positions/runways/....etc that are located near the borders of Algeria which most of them are located within the limits of 200 km from the Algerian border
I'm not really comparing JDAM to Iskander TBM, actually I'm pointing the versatility of fighter jets to that of ballistic missiles, you kinda miss the whole point..So there is no need to compare Iskander with Jdam, because every one of them has a different operational role.
Yes.and Algeria also possesses its guided air munitions Including standoff ALCM missile Which can hit Moroccan sites without entering the range of the F-16 and the range of Moroccan defenses
.....as for the scenario of war the real battlefield will not be in the North, but rather in the South In the heart of the disputed zone and Where most of the Moroccan military installations are located...
That is if the Kilo's could pass Morocco's ASW net in the Gibraltar.As for the Moroccan military bases behind the Atlas Mountains , specifically the Ben Jarir air base, which hosts the F-16 squadrons The distance from southern Algeria is 300 km ....It is much less than that for the kilo submarines And the Algerian Navy, which will flank the morrocan army from the other side of the atlantic

I can give you satellite photos of most of the Moroccan military bases, most of which are located within the range of Algerian weapons
There are more Sukhoi getting shot by Manpads than F-16s ever.As for the F-16? It's funny how you consider that a handful of f-16 fighters ...that was previously shut down by Sam-6 and Manpads
I never assured anyone here that the Morrocans able to do that. But its best not to underestimate anyone.is Capable of penetrating a country with the size of two million square kilometers like algeria ...without being detected and destroyed .. you really Makes me feel like we're going to face NATO forces ..
When Morocco buys those AGM-88s the US also trained them how to use one.
So do both of you. Hence I guess that both will be forced into Ukraine style stalemate in the airhonestly even if we admit the superiority of American fighters against russian one... Morocco does not have a quarter of the American capabilities in ISR/AWACS Capabilities to Dealing with the Algerian IADS And with the numerically superior Algerian Air Force Which is also not that bad technically against a 4th+ generation fighter ..
I concur, Algeria's AD are one of the most sophisticated and dense in Africa. That will be a herculean task for the RMAF to deal with.I think you are really underestimating Algeria's air defense capabilities So let me give you litle overview of it to make the comparison more reasonable
