No，CH-4 is bought by Algeria；while where the Moroccan delegation visited is CATIC XAC, who produce transport plane, like Y-7, MA-60, MA-600 and arj-21. Their recent product is Y-20.

When Morocco did recieve them ? They look outdatet to me and need to be modernized or replaced by stealthyer ones !

 

[Ibn Batouta]

In 1981 we received them . I do not think they are outdated, it is certainly not the latest generation boats, but they are not to throw away anyway. They can still take a few years .

Babur you are to severe Lol

Few Years there is no Problem I think, but in my opinion they could need overhaul of the FCS and probably newer AShM like MM-40 Exocet !

BTW: I'm not severe but a potential Enemy, yes they will be for Sure !

Spain for example Faces a lot of internal Problems like Debts and growing Seperatism by Catalan Movement also Oil is found before Canarian Islands ! A external Crisis for example could distract the People from their internal Problems !

@Babur Han :

Spain has no interest to destabilize Morocco for one simple reason , they depend on us in several stuff: illegal immigration (Morocco is the "gendarme" of Europe in Africa, we block thousands of sub-Saharan who want to introduce in Europe through spain, so just imagine thousands of illegal immigrants who sneak into Spain ...) , the fight against terrorism in Spain (most extremist in spain are Moroccan and Moroccan services bring their help to located them ...). In addition the crisis, the Spanish companies came by the hundreds in Morocco ... so they have economic interests, security ...
War is not the solution to all the problems, Morocco has always settle its problems with the dialogue and playing on different common interests with Spain, especially with this country ... Not to mention that Spain is NATO, we canot measure up to it, so we must use another method to reach our purpose. Moroccans have always favored diplomacy in their history, for over 1200 years, we know when "attack" and when "close our mouths" and settle our problems with our brains and not weapons. .

History between Morocco and Spain has always been violent and stormy, we occupy Spain for 600 years Al Andalus, then they colonized us ...So as said "Keep your friends close, and your enemies even closer"

Specifically say, XAC of AVIC build transport plane for military and civil use, and they have the only institute who have the design ability for transport plane in China. And the Moroccan delegation visits XAC about one month ago.

More precisions about the Amour 1650 submarine deal

Adquisición de un submarino clase Amur 1650.

—La Marina marroquí ha iniciado los contactos con astilleros rusos para la construcción de un submarino de ataque de propulsión convencional SSK. La Marina rusa sería la encargada de formar a la dotación, ya que Marruecos carece de experiencia en este campo. El diseño elegido sería el del submarino convencional Amur, de 1650 t en superficie y que es un desarrollo para la exportación de la clase Lada, que ya se encuentra operativa en la Marina rusa. Para conocer este moderno SSK, del que todavía no se ha exportado ninguna unidad, se desplazó a Moscú una delegación de la Marina marroquí, que visitó las oficinas del diseñador de submarinos Rubin, para posteriormente conocer los astilleros del Almirantazgo en San Petersburgo, donde se están construyendo dos unidades más de la clase Lada, de la que la Marina rusa piensa adquirir ocho unidades. El costo de la construcción de este submarino es de 150 millones, cantidad considerablemente inferior a un SSK construido en astilleros europeos. El Amur puede contar con el sistema de propulsión independiente del aire o AIP, de células de combustible

Acquisition de 1650 Amur classe sous-marin .

- La Marine marocaine a entamé des contacts avec les Russes pour la construction d'un sous-marin conventionnel attaque Yards propulsion de SSK . La marine russe serait responsable de la formation de l'équipage , que le Maroc n'a pas d'expérience dans ce domaine . Le modèle choisi serait l'Amour de sous-marins conventionnels , 1650 t en surface et est un développement à l'exportation de la classe Lada , qui est déjà opérationnel dans la marine russe . Pour ce SSK moderne , qui n'est pas encore exporté n'importe quelle unité , s'est rendu à Moscou une délégation de la marine marocaine , qui a visité les bureaux du concepteur du sous-marin Rubin , les chantiers navals de l'Amirauté plus tard connus à Saint-Pétersbourg , où ils construisent deux unités sur la classe Lada , la marine russe envisage d'acquérir huit unités . Le coût de construction de ce sous-marin est de 150 millions d'euros, un montant nettement inférieur à SSK construit dans les chantiers navals européens . L' Amour peut s'attendre le système ou pile à combustible Air Independent Propulsion AIP .
