Morocco received its first delivery from “Akinci” drones stuff, a lot of which was sent, recently, to the kingdom. Details.
This is a first delivery in perspective of the entry into service of these aircraft in service. This is planned in 2025, pending the delivery of all the units ordered.
The royal armed forces continue to strengthen their air capacities by betting more on drones as a new strategic weapon. The Far have already equipped Bayrakdar TB-2 drones, ordered from 2020, and which have proven themselves against the Polisario incursions to the Defense Wall. Hence the interest in the kingdom for the “Akinci” version, more sophisticated and capable of carrying out ultra precise missions.
These drones are distinguished by their autonomy of theft. They can be deployed for 24 hours without interruption and are able to fly at maximum speed estimated at 360 kilometers per hour. Their range rises up to 6000 kilometers with a mobile target detection radar.
