I have not read any news regarding replacement. I know that they use a variant of m16, m4 carbine, and different variatons of the AK. Seems like modernisation efforts are happing with especially the air force. Its also news about morocco acquiring 2 italian frigates to boost their naval capabalities.

I remember initial delivery was scheduled in 2021. Maybe they are new. But I think if they were new, Morocco would celebrate and we would be informed. Anyone who knows? @Knowledgeseeker

Yes first batch of 12 f16 block 70/72 vipers will be delievered through this year. The full order was 23 new vipers+ upgrading the existing fleet of 25 f16 block 50/52 variants. So in total 48 vipers. Not bad

Anyway viper is a nice choice.

Yh its a nice upgrade. Time to retire the old f1 mirage.

How many mirage f1s that are not modernized exist in the inventory? I remember most of them were utilized as spare parts.
Did you refer to modernized mf 2000? They should be moderate, they are not poor.

40 were in inventory but most were cannibalized for spare parts and others are stored and out of service
