• Pleiades high-resolution Earth observation satellites (2)
• Chinese WS-2 Rocket System (~36)
• PHL-03/AR/AR2/AR3. (72)
• Gulfstream G- 550 ISR

Morocco needs to focus on its Air Force Size to at least 150 to 200 Major Fighter jets like F-16 and Euro Fighter or Rafael or others. Also they need to go or more Frigates and also induct Submarines.

That is the plan.
A further $11.5 Billions have been allocated to future military procurement in the coming two years. Rumors are circulating that we might get a couple Type 212 Subs and our boys are already training in Greece and Portugal on them.

Is Morocco still allies with UAE/KSA?

Is Morocco still allies with UAE/KSA?

Yes, although the relationship is not in its best condition right now or since the falling out we had after the Qatar embargo and Morocco refusing to pick a side. The ruling party in Morocco is the PJD which is somewhat close to the muslim brotherhood, so the UAE and KSA are not in good terms with it.

Why did Morocco not pick a side? I was under the impression that KSA/UAE would fund Moroccan purchases as they did Egyptian purchases for being an ally.
