First time spotted in morocco? Never heard or seen it before. Its alot of new projects that will happen the next 3 years when it comes to modernisation of the armed forces. If you find any new news in arabic newspapers then please share it.
the modernisation from what i saw that will come encapsulates the airforce mainly
with the f5 fleet being modernised by israel
the replacement of the aging Bell transport helicopters
the acuiqisition of the AH64E that will arrive shorty
and the f16 fleet upgrade to the f16V configuration
the strenghtening of the local military industry that began last year
acquisition of the latest patriot variant
and the israeli barak 8 SAM
the M1A2M (moroccan configuration)
Morocco also wishes to upgrade its aging m60 tank fleet possibly by help of Israel
possible submarines purchases (probably french)
mistrale sam systems
and CAESAR SPA
also morocco and the czech repulbic are in talks for possible arms deals
brazil possible arms deal
and some possible more israeli arms deals
but morocco doesnt actively publish its Arms deals

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

yeah the navy does need many improvement, it should first contain and rival the algerian navy first
