We have 23 F16 Block 52+ currently, they will all be modified to reach the Block 70 Viper with AESA APG-83 radar.
And we bought 25 new F-16 Block 70s. So in total we will have 48 F-16 Block 70 Vipers. By 2025, they will be fully delivered.

Some moroccan members on military forum say that we will buy 23 second hand F16 block 20/30 and we will integrate the Block 52+ avionics/electronics retired for the Block 70 Upgrade. It is a realistic supposition, to reach a total fleet of 71 F16's.

So most likely no JF-17s?

No JF-17s , for sure.

The order of battle will be :

- 48 F16 Block 70 + 23 F16 Block 52+ maybe

- 27 MF2000

- 24 F5 Tiger 3

Due to the growing threats and changing global circumstances, it became necessary to equip the forces stationed with the borders with light, inexpensive weapons with great combat effectiveness to ward off any threat to the borders of the Kingdom.
