Morocco recently became the first country in North Africa and the Middle East to produce drones after Israel. This development comes after Morocco's latest deal with Israel, which included Spy-X advanced "suicide" drones. This is according to what the Israeli channel I24NEWS reported on its website.
According to the Israeli company BlueBird, which specializes in the design and manufacture of aircraft of this type, a successful field test of these aircraft was carried out in Morocco.
The SpyX drone, intended for reconnaissance and attack missions, is capable of reaching targets at a speed of 250 kilometers per hour, an operational radius of 50 kilometers. It also contains a day/thermal sensor for target detection.
This achievement is an important step for Morocco in the field of military industries and advanced technology, and it demonstrates the development of bilateral cooperation between Morocco and Israel, especially after the signing of the Abraham Accords in December 2020.
This move is expected to have positive effects on Morocco's technological future. The ability to produce UAVs reflects progress in engineering and technology, and may lead to the development of expertise and additional innovations in the industry.
It can also contribute to strengthening the local economy by creating new job opportunities and attracting investment. In addition, it may open the door for Morocco to become a major player in the international drone market.
