Morocco acquires Israeli and Turkish weapons which allowed Azerbaijan to defeat Armenia. A way for the kingdom to prepare for a possible war once morest Algeria, protector of the Polisario, over the Sahara, which might end in a victory for the Royal Armed Forces (FAR).
Harop, Barak 8 missile, Bayraktar TB2 armed drones… Morocco is working to acquire all Israeli and Turkish defense systems except the Israeli LORA quasi-ballistic missiles, which allowed Azerbaijan to win the Second High War. -Karabakh – populated mainly by Armenians and which seceded from Azerbaijan with Armenian support – once morest Armenian forces, which took place from September to November 2020, reports Forbes. During deadly fighting in the Caucasus region, Russian weapons used by Armenia did not withstand the fury of Israeli and Turkish weapons possessed by Azerbaijani forces. In addition to these weapons, Morocco is said to have recently received the advanced Barak MX anti-missile defense system, which it ordered from Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI) as part of a $500 million deal concluded in 2022.
