I got your point now, thanks for the clarification. I believe that Morocco with time will become a challenger, but that does not mean that we need to challenge the American hegemony. The Americans made it difficult back in time for Morocco during the Sahara War with multiple embargoes against Morocco. They threatened Morocco multiple times to stop exercising the right of self-defense outside the borders of Morocco. We rejected their request and kept bombing targets in Mauritania, and Mali. They also involved themselves against Morocco with the French after Morocco succeeding taking back its land in nowadays "western algeria" during the 1963 war.

Now the times have changed, and we are able to get the Americans on board with us. Perhaps we will make the Americans support our vision of how the regional landscape will look in the future. What is known by history is that Morocco is a country that bites hard when the teeth grow, and we hope that we can continue the legacy of our forefathers. Hopefully, our defense industry, and reaching self-sufficiency will allow us to become more of a "challenger" like you described. The first challenge would be to recover what we Moroccans call the "Eastern sahara".

So you’re saying you have conquest plans.

TBH I don’t think any country with conquest plans is free or will be free of getting devoured or divided.

I see you are satisfied with US recognition of Southern conquest, but that was Trumps doing and in return for something else as I recall.

I don’t think it bodes well tbh

I would not really call it conquest plans, rather I would say that we have the intention to recover our rightful land that has never been demarcated. It's a long story however long story short, the French carved out the territories of Morocco and gave them to the newborn state called Algeria after Morocco rejected the proposals of the French to share the exploration of rich minerals in this particular region.

All the archives are in place to confirm that it belonged to the current Moroccan state before Morocco became a protectorate in 1912. Here is a map of Morocco before the year 1880.

Morocco seeks to be a leader in command and communications, situational awareness, and the ability to detect and deal with high-value threats, which are on the rise in the world today. The next generation of warfare will be more about precision, rapid data processing, and the use of artificial intelligence.


For Morocco, I imagine the solution is aimed at expanding and integrating existing capabilities, especially with new satellites being acquired along with surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR/AEW) aircraft, and new air defense systems currently being deployed or purchased. The US Navy uses the same C2BMC solution with its AEGIS combat system, as do the Israelis with their Arrow system.

The Arrow high-altitude air defense system has also been fielded in theater-level tests for over a decade. One of the primary tasks of the C2BMC solution is to deal with hypersonic threats. The question is, why does Morocco need such an advanced system? Is it just to increase situational awareness? Integrating advanced, high-altitude air defense systems? Arrow 3? THAAD? PAC3-MSE?

Northrop Grumman will be the main supplier for the CDS hardwares/spares for an amount of 4,2 million USD and Owl will supply spares/test support for 3,9 million USD
