Turkey and Morocco initiate expanded defense collaboration

In an effort to modernize its military capabilities, Morocco is expanding its weapons collaboration with Turkey. The partnership, which has been burgeoning with past acquisitions like Bayraktar TB2 drones and Cobra II armored vehicles, now explores deeper cooperation. A delegation from Turkey’s Aselsan recently discussed potential collaborations in Morocco, focusing on electronic warfare systems, smart solutions, and unmanned aerial vehicles. This move could boost local employment and aims to fortify Morocco’s naval defense with new combat management systems, positioning the kingdom to cultivate a competitive national defense industry.
