Military cooperation between Morocco and China is witnessing a remarkable increase, as it includes providing the Kingdom with short and long-range air defense system and medium and long-range missile launchers and more strategic tanks and surveillance radars, and in the future will also include the transfer of some of the Chinese military industry technology to Morocco.

Morocco is available on a set of the Chinese AR2 missile launcher system, which is considered one of the most powerful missile stoning systems in the world.

This system is a group of eight-wheeled trucks, each carrying 12 300mm missile launchers, capable of firing a wide range of classic and cluster shells with a range of more than 150 km and a margin of error not exceeding one meter for some types of these missiles, which makes it one of the most powerful launchers. Missiles in the world.

This weapon is one of the most powerful deterrent weapons in the arsenal of the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces, as a 6-rocket battery can launch 72 missiles with a weight of 800 kg each loaded with 280 kg of explosive material, in just 30 seconds and rearm in less than 30 minutes. It is possible to destroy a small city within a matter of minutes. ”The Kingdom of Morocco recently modernized its military arsenal extensively, as it concluded military deals with allied countries headed by the United States of America.

As this deadly Chinese weapon, according to an expert in the military field, can target large areas in southern Spain, and areas of military strategic importance in the depth of Algerian soil.

The Royal Armed Forces have a range of Chinese-made missile launchers, type AR2 / PHL03, of 300 mm caliber, which Morocco had obtained, which was indicated by the annual United Nations publications on the world arms trade.

This missile launcher, also known as Type 03, is the Chinese version of the Russian BM-30 Smerch missile launcher, developed by the Chinese company NORINCO, and is the most powerful system of this type acquired by Morocco.

The Kingdom was keen on attracting GPS-guided missiles with a range exceeding 140 km, and the error of injury did not exceed one meter, which makes the Royal Artillery with this weapon a lethal force.

Here we point to the existence of concrete cooperation between China and Morocco in the military field, and this cooperation has been demonstrated in bringing Morocco back from China. The WS-2D missile launcher is a Chinese-made 400mm guided missile launcher that exists in only three countries in the world that are prepared in less than 12 minutes of movement The rocket launcher system is installed at the back of a 6x6 truck chassis with three tubes in two 400-mm guided missile lines for the WS-2 MLRS launcher has a simple inertial guidance system, but the home-made satellite navigation system can also be used for guidance In the middle of the track, which are uncomfortable launchers on the military scale, their range exceeds 300 km.

Morocco also strengthened the air defense system by introducing a very advanced Chinese system of the Sky Dracon 50, which consists of mobile launchers, detection radar and tracking targets, as well as a command center for the main tasks of the Sky Dragon 50 system, including air defense for essential areas and fields, and can effectively intercept Medium, low and very low air targets, i.e. fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters and drones, as well as engagement and killing cruise missiles, this system has full mobility, and can be ready to launch in a new location 15 minutes after the truck stops and has been designed And manufactured by the Chinese defense company NORINCO (China Northern Industries Corporation) and there is a copy of this system for China and another export version.

To be recently contracted on the HQ-9 system, which is a long-range air defense system with version B and is currently the latest until the end of the development of version C and this system will be delivered at the end of next year with 4 batteries.

It also has YLC-2V 3D radars, with a long range of up to 500 km, which are radars used in air and marine surveillance, in addition to ground-to-air surveillance, according to informed sources revealed to the newspaper Hespress.

Among the functions of the Chinese radar, it performs three-dimensional air surveillance over a distance of 500 km, and can enhance and renew the medium and long-range air monitoring means, to protect the Kingdom's sky from penetrations, and track air traffic over the Kingdom.

Morocco also acquired 150 MBT 2000 VT1-A tanks, which began delivery in 2010 and ended in 2012 in two installments, with a transaction price of $ 300 million.

It is one of the tanks belonging to the third generation Main Battle Tank that was designed and developed at the North China Vehicle Research Institute also known as the 201 Institute in Beijing and 617 factory in Baotou, marketed and further improving the model known as MBT-2000 by Norinco to customers Foreigners in the late 1990's.

The main armament consists of a 125mm sleek bore cannon that is capable of firing various types of ammunition including HEAT anti-tank and HE-Frag
