The contract for the delivery of 24 AH-64E Apache helicopters has entered into force between the manufacturer Boeing and Morocco. Morocco will become the second country in Africa after Egypt to choose the Apache to fight tanks and the fifth Arab country to do so. The value of the contract has not been announced, but it should be about 3 billion dollars if compared to the contract previously signed with Qatar for the same number (24) of Apache AH-64. According to some sources, the proposed version in Morocco will be the most efficient in the world because it will be Equipped with the state-of-the-art AN/APG-78 Longbow radar.

Moroccan AH-64E helicopters will be equipped with the AN/APG-78 Longbow radar, and the AN/ASQ-170 target acquisition system. The Moroccan version will launch laser or radar-guided Hellfire missiles, APKWS (Hydra) missiles, Stinger air-to-air missiles and the M230E1 30mm helmet-guided cannon. To protect the helicopter, it will have an AAR-57 anti-missile launch warning system, a LWS laser warning system, ICMD infrared countermeasures and an RWR radar warning receiver. Finally, it contains the MUM-T UAV Control System, which makes it possible to communicate and direct UAVs in order to increase the aircraft's intelligence capabilities. Deliveries are scheduled for 2024.

Morocco receives advanced VL MICA air defense systems and Sherpa vehicles from France

The Moroccan Armed Forces received the Sherpa armored vehicles and VL MICA air defense systems from France after contracts signed about two years ago.

Devinsa reported last month that the first batch of Sherpas arrived in Morocco and were seen being taken to military bases in the North African country. In 2020, Morocco was reported to have ordered 36 French Arquus Sherpa armored vehicles, Light Scout and Light Armored Personnel Carriers (APC).

The first two VL MICA batteries arrived in recent weeks after being ordered in 2020 at a cost of €192 million.

Four batteries of the same model are also being acquired from MBDA.

The VL MICA system consists of a series of truck-mounted components, including a tactical operations center, a Sagem SIGMA 30 radar, and launch vehicles that can carry three to six launchers with four thermal and radar MICA missiles. The MICA missile supports launch and forget technology, it can be equipped with a thermal homing head or an active radar seeker, which makes it difficult to jam the system, and it has an interception range of up to 20 km.
It is worth noting that Morocco also ordered 40 Caesar 155mm artillery systems for 170 million euros, and ammunition worth 30 million euros from Nexter..
 

Morocco has already received the first batches of these ultra-modern cannons.
The camouflage is for the Eastern Military District..

Morocco had acquired 36 Caesar (or Caesar) cannons from France through a deal signed at the beginning of 2020 worth about 170 million euros.

The Caesar cannon is a 155 mm self-propelled howitzer equipped with a set of regular, cluster and guided munitions capable of hitting various targets with high accuracy with a range of 4 to 42 km. The cannon is mounted on the back of a truck, which gives it rapid mobility and deployment, and a low operational value.

The Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz confirms the news that Morocco has contracted the "Harop" suicide drone

Harop is a suicide drone with a range of 1,000 km..The drone has the ability to fly 1000 km without stopping, but the maximum range of attack is 200 km because if it exceeds 200 km it is impossible to direct it, 200 km remains a very sufficient distance..



The Israelis expressed their desire to facilitate the transfer of all civilian and military technologies to Morocco..

Unconfirmed news about talks about selling a squadron of modern Israeli F-16 “Sofa” fighters to the Moroccan Air Force..

Unconfirmed news has emerged so far that the Kingdom of Morocco and Israel are in talks about selling a squadron of modern Israeli F-16 “Sofa” fighters to the Moroccan Air Force.

Where the Israeli Defense Minister visited the Benkir Air Base and inspected the squadrons of Moroccan drones and fighters belonging to the Moroccan Air Force

The F-16I SUFA or Storm is a special version produced specifically for the Israeli Air Force, along with significant changes to the hull that include Israeli avionics and decoys for anti-Israeli missiles instead of the American ones. It also contains an internal battle simulator and works in harmony with the Israeli “Elbit” helmet, not to mention its powerful APG-68 radar.

The most important thing in the matter of the sofa is the Israeli munitions that the plane can launch, such as the Python 5 and the “Dalilah” cruise missile, as well as its high capabilities for jamming and electronic warfare... This is in addition to transmitting the database of threats and targets the radar signatures of the eastern weapons that it collected in Syria and in maneuvers against the Greek S-300 .

It is said that the Israeli Sofa is superior to the latest F-16 aircraft, the Block 70/72, in everything except the radar.

Israel has about 102 F-16i Sofa fighters, the most powerful ever in the Israeli F-16 fleet, and it is dedicated to the operations of the Precision Strike and SEAD Suppression of Enemy Air Defense, and is equipped with highly advanced communication, electronic jamming and navigation systems, in addition to the launch and targeting helmet, and all Israeli systems.
