Moroccan Military 3rd Strongest in North Africa

Rabat – Morocco is the third strongest military power in North Africa, according to the 2017 Global Fire Power report published April 25.

The Kingdom has also joined the top sixty most powerful armies in the world, coming in at 57 position out of 127 in 2016.

The report provided a detailed analysis of the main elements that made Morocco the 57th military power in the world, namely Man Power, Land Systems, Air Power, Naval Power, Petroleum, Logistical and Financial Resources, and Geography.

The Kingdom has a population of 33,655,786, out of which 17,000,000 contribute to the country’s man power and 14,406,000 are fit for military service. The GFP added that in 2016 Morocco had 200,000 front line servicemen and women and 150,000 in active reserve personnel.

Morocco owned 1,276 tanks, 2,348 armored fighting vehicles, 192 towed- artillieries, 448 self-propelled guns and 72 multiple rocket systems in 2016.

In the same year, Morocco had a total of 278 aircraft, in addition to 46 fighters, 50 fixed wings attack aircrafts, 158 transport aircrafts, 80 trainer aircrafts and 128 helicopters.

Morocco’s naval Power consisted of 121 total navel strength, three frigates, four corvettes and 18 costal defense crafts.

The Kingdom’s petroleum production amounted to 500 bbl per day while it consumed 210,000 bbl per day.

Its logistical resources including a 12,230,000 labor force, 26 merchant marine force, 58,395 roadway coverage, 2,067 railway coverage and five serviceable airports.

As for financial resources, Morocco’s defense budget was estimated at USD 3.4 billion while its external debt was at USD 42 billion. The report added that the country’s reserve of foreign exchange and gold was USD 24 billion and its power parity purchase was USD 282 billion.

Within North Africa, Egypt scored the top spot, ranking 12th globally, followed by Algeria, which ranked 26th globally.The report found that the leading military power in the world is the USA, followed by Russia, China, India and France.

The Global Fire Power (GFP), an American site specializing in defense and military affairs, relied on more than 50 criteria to provide its military strength ranking.

The ranking took into consideration on the diversity of the weapons owned by the countries, rather than the amount.

Nuclear weapons were not taken into account, but they were considered as a “bonus” if countries are known or suspected to own nuclear stockpiles.

Geographical factors, logistical flexibility, natural resources and local industries were key determinants in the final ranking.

Countries with large man power and populations ranked higher.

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies also received a “bonus” due to the “theoretical sharing of resources.”

Countries’ current political and military leadership were not taken into consideration in the ranking.

Morocco Seeks Acquisition of Russia’s S-400 Air Defense System

Security and defense cooperation featured prominently in the 11 cooperation agreements that were signed on the occasion of the visit of Russia’s Prime Minister Dmitri Medvedev to Morocco.

A well-informed source told Moroccan media that the country is interested in acquiring the mighty S-400 air defense systems from Russia.

After months of media speculation about the possibility of the acquisition by Morocco of the SU-34 tactical bombers and the Amur-class 1650 diesel electric submarines, a military source told le360.com news portal that the eyes of the Moroccan army are set on the S-400 air defense system.

Indeed, Medvedev announced that his country will deliver military equipment to Morocco without any further details. Head of the Moroccan Government for his part stressed that Morocco, upon high Royal instructions, is ready to deepen military and security cooperation with Russia.

The acquisition of the S-400 will add an edge to the defense capabilities of the Moroccan army. This Russian air defense system is designed to intercept and destroy airborne targets at a distance of up to 400 kilometers, twice the range of the U.S. MIM-104 Patriot, and 2 1/2 times that of Russia’s S-300PMU-2.

The system is also believed to be able to destroy stealth aircraft, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles, and is effective at ranges up to 3,500 kilometers (2,200 miles) and speeds up to 4.8 kilometers (3 miles) per second.

Morocco’s quest to acquire advanced Russian weapons falls within an endeavor to diversify its international partners.

Hello! I am looking for images of weapon systems that are part of Moroccan armed forces. If such images exist, can anyone help me with providing images of:

Moroccan Mirage F1 with Mica missiles?
Moroccan Mirage F1 with guided bombs?
Moroccan Hawk SAM launchers?
Moroccan VT1 tanks?
Moroccan DK50 SAM launchers?
Moroccan AR3 or PHL03 rocket artillery launchers?

Every image should clearly be showing actual Moroccan hardware in Morocco, with either clear Moroccan insignia or definite Moroccan landmarks in the background.
