For submarines, 2 - 3 months ago , a Russian article deals with the offer of a submarine Amur 1650, but we have still no news about this ...
But it is true that the Moroccan navy had shown an interest to buy submarines, especially because at this time, tens of prospecting oil companies are in the process of oil and gas explorations offshore , from North to South, and if oil or gas there, it will take more than sailors and warships to protect the sub areas. And one of the exploration area is in front of the Spanish Canary Islands which create small tensions between Morocco and Spain...

Russia might offer non-nuclear submarine to Morocco
12:44 04/07/2013


ST.PETERSBURG, July 4 (Itar-Tass) - The Russian arms export/import agency Rosoboronexport has been promoting its non-nuclear submarine, the Amur 1650, on world markets. It intends to offer the submarine to Morocco if the tenders are held there, Rosoboronexport Deputy chief Viktor Komardin declared at an international naval show on Thursday.

If Morocco announces the tenders for a submarine we will take part and offer the Amur 1650, Komardin said.

Rosoboronexport intends to develop military cooperation with Morocco, Komardin said. He stressed the significance of an agreement on international economic cooperation that Russia had recently signed with Morocco. Recently, Russia has delivered to Morocco a batch of Msta-S self-propelled howitzers, he said.

Morocco is showing an active interest in weapons for air defense and ground troops, Komardin said. It is for Morocco to make a choice now, he added. Komardin highly appreciates the level of professional training of Morocco's officers who have recently attended a presentation show of Russian-made weapons.

The Amur 1650 submarine was designed by the Rubin Naval Design Bureau based in St.Petersburg which belongs to the United Shipbuilding Corporation.

The maximum diving range of the submarine is 300 meters. The submarine is capable to carry 18 missiles, torpedoes or mines.

Earlier, a number of media outlets said that Morocco intended to buy its first submarine. Russia and Germany were mentioned as possible exporters.

ITAR-TASS: Russia - Russia might offer non-nuclear submarine to Morocco

Indeed, with the purchase of the FREMM, the Navy will remove Descubierta which is a bit old...

Finally, for future purchases, I do not think it is possible because we just bought 3 SIGMA and 1 FREMM which alone costing 500 million euros ... So we'll see in the future . But be sure that if we discovered oil or gas in offshore, purchases for the Navy will multiply .

"royal"? we need democracy in morocco....

Ok sir from Switzerland

If that is true than you will need far more war ships and Submarines and also Fighter Jets

SIGMA and FREMM will come from european Countries, this mean that Software and IFF Codes are under their Control ! From that Point I have some doubts that a 500 million Fremm will be usefull to detter Spain from off-shore Oil Fields !

Turkish MILGEM Corvettes could be an Alternative to european Ships, they can be fittet with Aselsan made IFF System, Atmaca AShM and more other Subsystems. In June 2013 the turkish Corvette TCG Heybeliada made a Visit in Casablanca !

Casablanca, 25 juin 2013 (MAP) – Le navire militaire TCG Heybeliada, corvette des forces navales turques, a fait escale, mardi, au port de Casablanca pour deux jours avant de rallier l’Espagne avant de retrouver Istanbul, son port d'attache, après 35 jours de périple.

Ce bâtiment, moderne et multirôle, a été entièrement construit par l’industrie navale turque de type Milgem. Il est de 99,5 mètres de longueur, jauge 2.400 tonnes et utilise deux moteurs MTU Diesel et une turbine à gaz LM-2.500, a indiqué lors d’un point de presse le capitaine de vaisseau Yachar Chamour.

Cette corvette, le premier bâtiment de cette classe (Milgem) compte à bord 85 marins entre officiers et membres d’équipage. Il avait été mis à l’eau en septembre 2008 et avait réalisé son premier voyage deux ans après en novembre 2010, a-t-il ajouté, précisant que le deuxième navire sera opérationnel en septembre prochain.

Il est équipé de systèmes électroniques et d'armement notamment des lanceurs de missiles de croisière et antinavire Harpoon, de missiles antiaériens RAM, de canon de 76 mm et de torpille MK46, a expliqué le capitaine de vaisseau.

La classe Milgem a un rayon d'action de 5.000 km, une vitesse pointe de 30 nœuds, peut rester 45 jours en mer et possède une plateforme pour accueillir un hélicoptère.

Cette visite au port de Casablanca offre l’opportunité de promouvoir le dialogue et la coopération ainsi que de contribuer au développement des relations militaires entre les deux pays, a-t-il souligné.

Marocco could also need Cruise Misslies to strike C&C Sites, Military Infrastructure, Air Bases in Spain and Supersonic AShM deployed on Submarines, War Ships and Land !

@Zarvan : Yep true , time will tell us , everything will come in it time .

@Babur Han :
I really do not think that France can sell to us a FREMM( with downgraded systems .
If I told you that France is much closer to Morocco you will not believe me, Morocco has ancient, preferred and strong relationships with the highest French military officials but also the CEO's of the largest french military groups .

I don't believe that any european Countrie have good intentions regarding us Muslims ! Don't be naive ! Turkey was facing the same Issues and as far I know in the nineties our F-16 were unable to reconize greek Fighters as enemys ! After some negotiations with the US they gave us some IFF Codeds, so they could be changed to turkish Requirements !

BTW: It's not only an Issue Regarding FREMM !

 

[Ibn Batouta]

The M.E is an exception , with the presence of Israel in the area ...
But as I said, Morocco has fairly strong relationships with people who mean, to be able to buy reliable military equipment
It is my opinion , and Allah ou a3lam .
