I was considering allies which would be Saudi Arabia in my opinion would support Morocco and the U.S. might considering that Morocco is a major non nato ally. I don't think Russia would really get involved with boots on the ground but maybe monetary wise. I honestly think many gulf are maybe Jordan would help Morocco especially considering Algerias shaky relationship with gulf countries. Egypt might help Morocco which if they did would be a turning point especially if they could send air power. Tell me if my opinions are correct. Thank you.In a war btw Algeria and Morocco, TN will stay neutral. But such war is unlikely despite tensions, it's very hard to believe both population will support their respective gov if they wish to go to war.
And increasing Defense capabilities on the sole purpose of "Defending" herself when nothing around her is a threat or helping allies in an hypothetical war is not really in TN mind and pockets right now.
As for the winner of Algeria vs Morocco... ALG has way better chance to win, at least if you take into account their defense capabilities as of today compared to MAR.
I just found this article from defence news saying that the Netherlands is retiring its f-16's. https://www.defensenews.com/air/2017/01/27/as-f-35-comes-online-norway-to-scrap-f-16-fleet/. If Tunisia could wait until 2021 they could buy 20-30 depending on the price but would be presumably cheap considering that Netherlands has no need for F-16s when they are getting f-35's. The seems like a cheap way to get f-16's but Jordan might buy them first considering they have already bought some. Also heard about Belgium getting f-35. They will probably sell their f-16s too.
