uncover its secrets, which are considered state secrets necessarily excessive sensitivity. Therefore punished in the past some of the children of the Foundation for the bridges linking them to communicate with the press, but it also does not run around from the news, but what comes to us by foreign sources «informed». And it reminds everyone in this regard, that the defense of the land - Joe mechanisms already published in some Moroccan cities, amid official silence gave way wide for a long time in front of speculation and interpretations. That remained the position on the ambiguity even after they have been pulling these mechanisms to hiding places, without making any formal clarification of the citizens. During the past few weeks, then came the news without the details of the move Morocco forward in the implementation of the old project - the new nucleus for the establishment of a military industry. It was behind this new infusion Spanish military officer announced that Morocco asked the authorities of his
Morocco develop its industry warships out of the limelight
In the absence of vision about the prospects for the customers
Morocco industrial warfare emerging power
According to a study released last summer «Frost & Sullivan» Group of America, that Morocco was becoming a country Weapons Factory, within the next ten years. Or at least, we will be embracing foreign factories at home, starting from the year 2025. The study continued rise of the financial allocations for national defense and arms to record levels, the most important factors that are imposed on Morocco behavior of this trend. He »Frost & Sullivan», a specialist international office in the research and studies of markets and has branches to 40 countries in the study, that Morocco's desire to shift to a country Weapons Factory is a strategic choice, but it's still just a «political ambition» is expected to hasten decision-makers in the country to convert it into an executable project. He said Alex Opoulonge, a military analyst with the Office approved and completed the study, that Morocco, became seriously seeks to develop local industrial military bases in order to reduce the high cost of importing arms from abroad. In this regard, General Juan Manuel Garcia Montaño supervisor uncover arms Directorate at the Ministry of Defence Spanish weeks to inform his country before, for talks took place between him and the representatives of the Moroccan Department of Defense, which asked the Madrid technical assistance and cooperation for transfer of technology industry some types of equipment The weapons of war. The military official Spanish itself revealed that these talks took place on the occasion of the military exhibition in London, last September, and was to study the possibility of concluding bilateral agreements enable Morocco to launch a planned military programs of industrialization. But it did not give details about the quality of assistance and the nature of the technology requested by Morocco, or the quality of military gear who thinks in its manufacture. This is the first time that such a Moroccan endeavor announce officially. In the assessment of Alex Opoulonge unfinished study «Frost & Sullivan», not Morocco country the only rookie who is making efforts to manufacture its own needs in weapons autonomously, as developed by the study within the five countries in the world, are Colombia, Kuwait, Malaysia and Singapore, is the surge in the volume of financial allocations for the acquisition arms, of having to think about the establishment of arms factories in their countries. But to achieve this aspiration will not be easy on them. Morocco's desire that remain to some extent now just a political intentions, and ambitious beyond the investment potential, in the absence of private military industry infrastructures. Among other obstacles revealed by the study, the intensity of competition that you know making weapons in the world market, to the point that powerful states monopolized by closed ports to the possibility of enrollment rising by States. Another obstacle is another factor, and is in the palaces of vision and prospects concerning Bzbain any warship industry develops Morocco, as there are currently more than ambition cover local needs to arms and military equipment. But apart from this, the study recommended «Frost & Sullivan» Morocco set (along with the other four countries), if he wanted to achieve his ambition to invest in the latest types of foreign technology, so it is easier to switch later to the country of weapons factory. Through the completion of chidren economic and technological modernization, and strengthening of national industrial base in general. However, it is noted that Morocco did not wait for the release of this study to develop a strategy for civil industrialization, which attracted the giants of the auto industry in the world to invest in Morocco, along with more than 100 industrial companies in the aviation sector, some of which has the military sector.
Light aircraft and armored vehicles
Apart from the estimates of the American Studies Office, go estimations contrary to the fact that Morocco intends to move to the Military Industrialization stage, sooner Starting from the year 2017. When this deadline will have finished the course a decade of arms modernization of the three forces, it becomes available on the advanced fighter jets and frigates The destroyers modern naval, ground and weapons fashionable. What it is expected with him that allows him to reduce
military spending, and allocate enough money to invest in establishing a war industry, albeit very limited in the beginning, as done by many developing countries. Military experts in this regard and believes that Morocco has since now human efficiency, as well as the necessary infrastructure for the establishment of military factories for the production of heavy weapons and military spare parts. This enhances the availability of the budget is Mahddoh military outfit despite the lack of resources, and the availability of qualified human resources, as well as the good relations linking Morocco by major countries and companies manufacturer of the weapon in the Western world.
In order to achieve the strategic ambition tends Morocco oriented gradient, where the current interest seems focused on the quest to manufacture some light weapons that do not require large investments and technology from the last model. It lacks the large financial resources required for this investment in this type of heavy manufacturing. Also it lacks dedicated to the development of military programs of higher education institutions. However, this does not mean the fact that Morocco is currently not diligent in T.Taiwir military research Whatever the embryonic, where some sources indicate that the military establishments of both Nouacer and Meknes, the efforts to reform and develop tanks and armored vehicles and pieces of artillery. It is also the Moroccan Air Force Meknes acts laboratory development of fighter jets Mirage French-made, as well as the advanced training aircraft of the category «Alvajit». Despite all this, the Moroccan ambitions announced recently by Western sources apparently betting on a hard choice, but more useful, and of producing parts weapons and mechanisms locally, instead of simply installed after you import them, as do Algeria for years. We note in this regard to model what is happening in civil aviation. Under combine Airports National Office and the company «LH Aviacion Morocco» agreement established an industrial unit magnate aviation Balnoasr, geared to the production of aircraft of type «El Ah- 10 Ailips». And it is installed from parts made mostly in Morocco, including the airframe. It is expected to reach its production capacity to 80 aircraft per year in the beginning, to be increased in the short term to 200 aircraft each year. While Moroccan officials hope through this project, in the transfer of experiences and advanced technology to Morocco. By the same token military industrialization efforts seem directed to set up a heavy base, allowing the foreseeable future manufactures armored vehicles for transporting troops and some types of bombs and explosives depending on the Spanish technology. The agency official Spanish news recently pointed out, that Morocco is linked to contact with three of the closest Western allies, namely Spain, France and the United States, asking for help to launch projects for the manufacture of war. Including aircraft for military transport manufacturing with the help of Spanish, military and battleships with France, and light armored vehicles to transport infantry with the help of the Gulf Omrakih.altamoal and question Alozmhoogira, picked up the news a lot of specialized in defense and intelligence issues, locations, and the effect that Saudi Arabia will fund a project to manufacture war with technical assistance and Western US, especially . The shape of the presumption in favor of the credibility of the news is the synchronization of its release two weeks ago, with the visit of two senior officials in both the US and the Ministries of Defense and Saudi Arabia to Rabat. The attention of observers in particular Saudi official visit, which is oriented to sign a cooperation agreement with senior officials of the Royal Armed Forces has been placed. And released in that official communiqué it indicates that «covers the agreement signed between the two areas of configuration, and the defense industry, and logistical support, and the transfer of military experience, medical services and military, and exchange of visits.» Was not the news a
surprise considering that Saudi Arabia has already financed the Moroccan arms deals expensive, in the framework of strategic cooperation has existed for decades between the two countries. As it has already funded a multi-billion dollar Pakistan's nuclear program, and other programs of armament. When it appeared to Riyadh that Iran's nuclear program won after long negotiations, it resorted to ally Pakistan in order to buy nuclear bombs from its arsenal months ago. However, the question posed by the current situation is: Can you afford to Saudi Arabia costly program, at a time when the largest budget deficit in its history and know nearly $ 100 billion? And within the scope of always Gulf Moroccan military cooperation, the Arab press had picked up mid-March, the news of King Mohammed VI issued a decision royal, order whereby the implementation of the terms of military cooperation between the governments of Morocco and the United Arab Emirates Agreement, and that the content provided for the formation of the two parties to the joint committee for military cooperation , lasts for five years and be renewable for successive periods. That was the agreement received by the approval of the Moroccan parliament without enters into force. But no one was paying attention to being stipulated that, among other things stipulated in the creation »of cooperation between the two countries on security and defense policy level, and the establishment of joint studies and research in the military industry and technical fields.» After the issuance of the King's decision to implement only published in the Official Gazette of Morocco, and the subsequent signing of the Moroccan Prime Minister Abdelilah Benkirane them. And check more of its clauses discover that it included the following: «countries seeking through this agreement, the transfer of technology and knowledge in the areas of military and technical manufacturing, through the military industry development, and conduct joint military exercises» .othml details that reminded us about the importance of the Convention to limit intervention King personally ordered implementation, as
well as the marks of its clauses on the support of the military industrialization efforts, on the belief that the UAE will not be far from the steps to activate the military industrialization strategy three Alrahenh.alakrahat which makes it imperative for Morocco to produce Slahalas rising spending on arms is the only factor that holds Morocco to embrace the development of a national naval industry as a strategic option, but there are two other important factors. And the twin on the one hand, in the quest to create a kind of balance with Algeria that b »manufacturing» machine guns and armored vehicles for years. On the other hand, the provision for any possible leads in the future evolution of the Moroccan Sahara to file for the worse with Algeria, to the imposition of a UN ban on arming the parties to the conflict, in order to prevent a conflict Mslh.artvaa Altzlhaama bill year after the arms of Morocco bill go up an average of 3.6%, until it became a good client of arms factories and mechanisms of war European and American, as reported by the Institute (Frost & Sullivan) American. And it is expected to continue Moroccan military spending at the same high pace during the period between 2015 to 2025, at a time when European countries are shrinking defense budgets and America, where Morocco spends an average of $ 4 billion a year on defense sector. And go to US site specializing in so far as defense affairs estimates, where a report by indicating the location of Strategic Defense Intelligence that Morocco will be allocated more than 22 billion dollarsThe defense budget during the period ranging between 2015 and 2019 alone. At a rate estimated at 8.82% annual increase. He adds that the increase in the site continues to rise, as they were not more than 4.59% during the period between 2010 to 2014 and put these huge numbers (given the limited resources of the country) Morocco within the three most African countries, military spending, along with Egypt and Algeria. In addition to maintenance and repair of processing equipment and weapons military land, air and sea, spend Morocco that large amounts of money on the acquisition of naval destroyers, submarines, radar surveillance, and tanks, and armored vehicles to transport troops, and Gerha.oaattabr Morocco customer detailed arms exporters the French and the Germans in particular. Although the report of the Stockholm Institute latter Peace Research refers to the allocation of Morocco for up to $ 2.6 billion for efforts to cope with the growing dangers of cyber crime and trafficking in drugs and human beings, but the arms race between him and Algeria is bringing in fact, military spending, the size of the two countries. According to the same source, Morocco Class II drawing 2014 behind Algeria, on the list of most African countries spenders Altzlh.thsp to impose a ban on Alslah..otqom background of this excessive and increasing armament of the two neighbors, the feverish pursuit to achieve the kind of balance of terror between them. And contrary to what is common, the dispute between the two countries is not due to «problem of the Sahara», it is a deeper and more dangerous. Algeria Bouklgaha to the dispute over Western Sahara to Morocco and trying to perpetuating the most that can be, but in fact seeking to distract Morocco claim the eastern Bsahraih occupies, a legacy of the remnants of colonialism. It has around 1963 war, which stopped without being resolved in the fate of this chronic conflict. Given the state of the deepening rift It should be animosity between the broad sectors of the rulers and the peoples of the two countries in decades, the situation could get worse and develop into a military confrontation at any time, the impact or the induction of the conflicting parties to rule in Algeria. Although this possibility unlikely but possible fall, especially given the state of the sustainability of the power struggle between the Algerian regime wings. And when the signs of the imminence of it appeared, it may initiate state of permanent UN Security Council members (Russia or China) to request a UN ban on arms exports advanced to Morocco and Algeria. It may seem that the other possibility is very unlikely, given the current international context characterized by the need for arms Maghreb countries according to their need to support the fight against terrorism, but it is not impossible to fall. Perhaps even something close to it almost happened two months ago. Western media sources in October last year were transferred, the official Chinese report warned of a possible explosion of the situation, and the war over Western Sahara to Morocco the issue, and recommended a ban on for parties to the conflict (including Morocco) on advanced weapons. This seems to be China's military report, which was issued by Gen. (Van Hanglong) vice-chairman of China's Central Military Commission, in a 13-page, concluded, according to sources briefed on the substance of those strange recommendation, following a study carried out on ways to protect the Chinese investment in Africa, and the protection of sources of raw materials exploited in the countries of the continent. And that after he noticed the growing risk of the outbreak of war
between all of Morocco on the one hand, and the Algeria-backed Polisario guerrillas, on the other hand. The report noted that among its reasons in view of the fact that taking place between the Algerian regime circles offline interactions (over the succession of President patient), not a source of hope for peace in the Moroccan desert, and should therefore expect the escalation of the manifestations of hostility in the region. According to the same source, China has launched cooperation with Washington ahead in the direction of banning the export of sophisticated weapons Morocco and Algeria, while it had been snubbed France, which plans to sell Morocco very sophisticated equipment for monitoring space military. This is China's position and provide a model of what could turn to him the situation quickly. In anticipation of this perhaps, Algeria is investing billions of dollars a year from the proceeds of oil since in efforts to establish a «Industries» War, which is nothing more than Trkibah.khalq balance industry with Aldzairan be mad arms race dragging the Maghreb region into a downward spiral. The Algerian government has allocated $ 13 billion for the budget allocated to the 2015 defense, which is equivalent to 11.6% of the total budget of 112.12 billion dollars. According to reports, it was the first time since the independence of the defense budget this level. And to coincide with the new challenges on the border and updates to the capabilities of the Algerian army, and turn it into a professional army. According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, Algeria was ranked the sixth largest in the world in the purchase of weapons, during the last two years, through the acquisition of 3 per cent of arms sales in the world. The report attributed this big spending to increasing oil revenues [during that period], making Algeria occupies the first place on the African level, pointing out that Russia is the first source of arms to Algeria. And it allowed the lifting of the international embargo on arms and military equipment, which was imposed on Algeria during the security crisis (between 1992 and 1999), held a series of arms control billions of dollars in deals with Russia, including the acquisition of systems missile is very sophisticated, tanks and fighter jets, training aircraft. Also included Algerian army processing system of maritime military techniques, and armed boats and warships, and submarines, as well as a deal to supply the Algerian army for 23 thousand different military vehicle with a Russian government organization. Within the last of these deals, one held by the military establishment with the company «Rheinmetall» German weapons, including the production of 980 armored «Fox 2» to transport soldiers, and deal is valued at about 2.7 billion euros. Algeria has succeeded in imposing on the German party that produced in her country instead of Germany. The contract included delivery company «Rinmital»Algeria to establish a party of German production line to assemble armored «Fox». This transaction falls within the various military agreements already signed with Germany and with the Arab countries. And head to the establishment of military industry; especially after the success of Algeria in the completion of a factory for the production of armored vehicles, in partnership with the companies «Mercedes» and »balance» UAE. On the other hand, Algeria is currently manufacture a light machine gun pistol «Kirkal», in cooperation with the Emirati partner. This type is one of the very sophisticated automatic weapons, and occupies the number one globally, and therefore deemed synthesized in Algeria a great success. Algeria also entered into negotiations for the establishment of a compound for the production of helicopter project, framed from the Brazilian partner organization «Oorukubtr» of the group «Airbus». In addition to these modern military industrial projects, Algeria has in «force» military company specializing in the ammunition industry, and the other in «Khenchela» specializes in machine guns industry Alklashenkov.mkkawi: Morocco engaged practically in the military industry was to achieve self-sufficiency, which historically
