Morocco to Buy 10 Caracal Helos from Airbus
The French Ministry of the Armed Forces has revealed that Morocco intends to enhance its military capabilities by acquiring 10 "Caracal" helicopters from Airbus. This deal is part of a plan to modernize the Royal Air Force and improve its capabilities in search and rescue, transportation, and special operations, rather than replacing the old SA 330 Puma helicopters that have been in service for over 40 years. The new helicopters, of the H225M model, are equipped with advanced systems to boost the efficiency of rescue and reconnaissance missions. They can carry up to 28 soldiers or perform medical evacuations, with a payload capacity of up to 4.7 tons, a maximum speed of 324 kilometers per hour, and an operational range between 650 and 1,300 kilometers. Strengthening these capabilities also aims to enable Morocco to carry out long-range operations in complex operational environments. Additionally, the helicopters can be fitted with self-defense systems and electronic protection. An upcoming project involves establishing an advanced maintenance center in Morocco to support regional helicopter services, especially to meet the needs of West African markets.
