    The old combat casualtieses of the Fouga Magister lead to buy, with Saudi money, 6 Rockwell OV-10A, to which other 24 had to be added. But its effectiveness extremely was reduced and several were demolished by Front POLISARIO. In 1989, in addition, Mirage F1 and 1 C-130 had been lowered 7 Hercules, to which there was to add 6 Mirage F1 and 3 C-130 Hercules, lost in diverse accidents. Throughout the 90, new Morocco acquired Mirage 2000 and F-16 thanks to the financial aid of the Arab Emirates Unidos and Saudi Arabia. Years later, 12 F-16A and 4 F-16B were acquired that previously had served in the National Guard of the U.S.A. In 1981, Morocco acquired 6 OV-10A whose operation was shown by North American advisers in the base area of Kenitra. It was the first time that North American advisers formed Moroccan pilots. Two of these airplanes were lost in individual accidents. The Air Force has 13,500 men, of who 300 are pilots. In order to replace F-5 and F1 four models of airplanes have studied: the F-20 Tigershark, Mirage 2000, the F-16 and the Tornado. Also it is necessary the renovation of missiles air-air AIM-9J Sidewinder and MATRA R.550 Magic 1 by more modern versions of those arms. The Moroccan Air Force is enabled to accomplish missions of tactical support and transport. They have reached an acceptable level in support to the earth units. The instruction of the pilots is extremely weak. Hardly they can count on 100 hours annual, bases, obviously, insufficient.

    Arms Purchases
    According to the Madrid daily La Razon, Morocco has just bought from Byelo-Russia 50 combat tanks T-72, in the context of a programme of arms purchases from countries other than its usual supplier, the USA. The objective is to avoid, according to the paper, an American veto on the use of these arms in the case of a possible conflict with Spain. Morocco recently bought in France F-3 self-propelled 155 mm artillery batteries with a range of 30 km. Morocco is negotiating with the Saudis for the purchase of 20 F-16 fighter planes, bought by Saudi Arabia from the USA, which have just arrived at Saudi bases. (week 10). La Razon claims that about 20 Moroccan pilots are thought to be receiving training on the F-16 in Belgium, which was denied by the Belgian minister of Defence in a letter last March to Pierre Galand, President of EUCOCO

    hum , they actually already own several F 16’s , twenty of which was gifted by Saudi Arabia in the year 2002.

    The Saudi F16s were not gifted to Morocco for free… Morocco bought them from Saudi with the American permission.

    Does anyone have good pics of the F-1E, competitor to the F-16 for
    the “fighter competition of the century”? If I remember correctly, the
    F-1E’s radome was more ogival in shape and it possibly had a different
    engine. Cannot remember who the other competitors were (Viggen?).

    Thanks for the help all. πŸ™‚

    I think the F-1E is only used by Morocco (F-1EH/EH-200) and Iraq (F-1EQ, before 1991)…

    About the differences between the F-1E and other F-1, I found this paragraphe: “(Standard equipment on F-1E includes Sagem Uliss 47 INS, Dassault Electronique 182 central digital computer for nav/attack computations, TH C8F VE-120C CRT head-up display, Sextant Avionique air data computer and digital armament/nav control panels)”, but I don’t have more infos.

    By the acquisition of 18 Rafale, the modernization of 27 (from 48) Mirage-F1, and a command of 20 K8, the RMAF will have at one’s disposal:

    -> (operational/total)

    approx. 45 Mirage F-1CH/EH/EH-200 (~45/48)
    – 12 to 18 Rafale B
    – approx. 10 F-5A/B (10/25, obsolete, for training and instruction)
    – approx. 25 F-5E/F (a little bit obsolete, but will fly for few more years!) (~25/40)
    – 21 Alpha-Jet training and light attack / adv. fighter (21/22)
    – 20 K8-Korakorum training and light attack / adv. fighter (command

    You said this in other thread, so….

    -> “approx.” !!!! πŸ˜‰ πŸ™‚

    Yeah, then Morocco is the only user around the world that in 27 years never had an accident with a single engine fighter…..France, Greece, Spain, Ecuador, Jordan, Iraq, Libya, South Africa as Mirage F-1 users lost planes….and the F-16 users, Mirage III/V users, Mig-21 users, Mig-23 users….because since 1978 Morocco never lost one plane in a accident…this is for a gold medal.

    Did you read what I wrote? πŸ˜‰

    Pics of moroccan F-1CH/EH-200 (+ Wallpaper).

    -> Moroccan F-1CH/EH are actually the most performant of the world, with possibility to launch Mica air-air missiles, RC-400 multi-target radar (derivative of RDY radar), AASM kit and modernized cockpit. The modernization is done by Sagem-Thales on 27 F-1 from a total of 48 used by the RMAF (Originally 50, but 2 were shot down by algerian/libyan SAM used by the “Polisario” during W-Sahara war).

    And a Colonel of the RMAF told me about more than 40… :rolleyes:

    The most optimistic information is about 34 Mirages in Morocco, other sources says that only 28/29, some of them not airworthy, with the french upgrading. With one engine, itΒ΄s usual this rate in almost 30 years of service.

    34? Sources?
