@Doritos11


M1A1, first generation ...the Same that an RPG rocket of $50 destroyed countless time in Iraq
220 F16s, with limited radar and no BVR capability, no air refueling or tankers
Apaches first generation too, comparing to what Israel has...it just very very basic
A shitload of artillery... just a lot with no teeth to make a real change in a battlefield..
Doritos, friend, if you have a chance to get the AFM ....you will have a clear idea of the state of the Egyptian military power.
Equipment tally does not make an army, if it did, defunct Libya, Saddam Iraq would have eclipsed the US and the Russia combined.

What do you mean with AFM ?

 

[Ibn Batouta]

I think he mean "Air force magazine" by AFM , no ?

@BLACKEAGLE @Arabian Legend @Yzd Khalifa Morroco needs to get at least 4 Submarines and also new Tanks I hope they get 250 Abram Tanks and also need to replace their older migs and F-5 planes with latest modern planes J-10B and JF-17 Block II can be good replacement they should have at least 150 Fighter Jets along with 3 Awacs and Anti Air craft and Anti Missile systems

We don't have MIG since the 60's . And the F-5 planes are still operational, they were upgraded to Tiger III format, just like the Chilean F-5 . So they still have their place for a few years, until their replacement. Moreover it is only used for fire support missions, in mid-altitude .

For a small Airforce why so many different types of jets?

I see just 3 types,i imagine that they've bought the blk 52's to have some modern fighters but seeing that they're expensive they've probably chosen not to have just 24-36 fighters and upgraded some of the old Mirages and F5's.

@flamer84 : Military cooperation between Morocco and Romania is very developed. FYI, the current weapon used by the Moroccan army, the AKM is of Romanian origin. And our PUMA helicopters were upgrade in Romania by a Romanian company.

For the question about the different jets , I think that it is the wish of the general Staff , to not be dependent on a single supplier, and it is the same in the Army and Navy. Our different suppliers are USA, France,Russia, China and also Belgium, Austria, Spain ...

@Zarvan : Alikoum Salam brother . You're welcome in Morocco , it's your country
In this thread , i'll put everything in a relation with Morocco and its culture . Appreciate
Moroccan culture all around the World

For the question about the Air Force and the Navy :

So for the Air Force I have posted photos of F-16 , MF2000 and F-5 . We also have :

Dassault Dornier Alphajet : It is a lightweight fighter of French origin, is used for training in advanced stage of fighter pilots, but it can also be used for fire support missions. It can carry bombs of 250 kg or 400 kg, and it has one 30 mm cannon and a rocket launcher 68 mm below the fuselage. Recently , they had been modernized in Morocco :

To this modernization will include the installation of a GPS-hybridized inertial , which will give it a SNA capacity and will also better driving shooting in the air-air and air-to-ground modes. It is planned to install a head-up display High (HUD) instead of the current single viewfinder. The new navigation system will also better prepare assignments and training to failure. The handle is equipped with new features that will provide concept HOTAS (Hands on controller and Channel) . The current ejector seat Martin Baker MK4 type will be replaced by a newer model MK10L kind to include a seat back 10 °

C-130 Hercules :

C-27 J Spartan:


For training , we recently buy T-6 Texan :

Helicopters :

Chinook :

PUMA :

Augusta Bell :

"Ecureuil"

Gazelle attack Helicopter :

KC - 130 Tanker

HALO team or in french " Chuteurs opérationels"

The complete list of Air Force material : Histoire et stratégie n°3

2 Falcon 20 for Electronique War . But we have a real weak point, is the attack helicopters. Only 24 attack helicopters, it is very little for Morocco . So I think that in the coming months, we will hear about the buy of new attack helicopters for FRA, I think it will be US material ... Inchallah .
