[DOUBLESHOT]

According to the Morroccan newspaper Hespress issued on February 18 and cited by SDArabia Security and Denfense Arabia websites, Morocco is strengthening its artillery arsenal with China-made WS-2D multiple-rocket launcher systems (MLRS).

The WS-2is a Chinese-made 400mm guided MLRS designed and manufactured by China National Precision Machinery Corporation (CPMIEC), based in Beijing, China. It was unveiled during the Zhuhai Air Show in 2004.

The WS-2 is an advanced rocket system characterized by long-range, fast response, easy operation and maintenance. WS-2 adopts simple control technologies, which increase the accuracy with low cost. The WS-2 artillery system has a preparation time of less than 12 minutes from travelling. A battery consists of a command and control unit and six launchers, plus supply and logistic units.

The delivery of these MLRS follow the sending of officers and technicians of the Moroccan artillery, radar specialists and air defense systems operators to China last year, to train on this sophisticated MLRS.

The partnership announced by Morocco with China, under which China will build a modern industrial city "Tangier Tech" in northern Morocco.. is not only on the economic, but also the military level..
Morocco realized that it was not possible to rely on a particular ally and therefore went to the eastern camp..
As for the HQ-9.. there is no smoke without fire..
Morocco is now looking for the S-400..but all the the options are on the table..

"Tangier Tech" city
