Morocco is fighting the Polisario organization that according to open sources is being assisted by Algeria in Western Sahara. A large part of the operations against the organization is carried out by unmanned aircraft
Morocco is making major efforts to acquire unmanned aircraft, precision weaponry and stealth weaponry as part of its Air Force's modernization program. The Moroccan military is already operating three Heron drones, acquired from France in January 2020 (for $48 million), which were jointly manufactured by Israel Aerospace Industries and Airbus Defence and Space. The Moroccan military also acquired drones made by Israel's BlueBird. The recent improvement of Israel's ties with Morocco may help Morocco's buildup of power in the field of unmanned aircraft.
