However, then Operation "Iron Swords" began in which Israel declared war on Hamas and as a result even invaded the Gaza Strip and has so far occupied the northern part of the Strip.

Following the conduct of the forces within a built-up area, it was decided in Israel to cancel the sale of the old tanks to Morocco and to convert them into armored brigade carriers.

And then it turned out, as has always been known, that there is no vacuum in the world.

As soon as it became clear to the Americans that the tank deal between Israel and Morocco had been cancelled, the American salesmen attacked the policy makers in Rabat and.... They were sold Abrahams tanks as a replacement. A deal that Morocco was quick to embrace warmly.

And make surprised faces.... The tanks are already in Morocco. Immediate supply before they regret and try to return to the deal with Israel.

The "Arabic Defense" news site reports that media leaks revealed the arrival of new M1A2 SEPv3 Abrams tanks to Morocco by military trucks.

The kingdom received the tanks as part of a deal with the US. This is a high-tech product equipped with advanced technology, and their shipment began by train from the American state of California during the last few weeks.

The Royal Moroccan Armored Corps has experienced a qualitative jump in its combat capabilities, and its current capabilities and vehicles are capable of deterring any enemy and dealing with any danger that may threaten the kingdom's soil.

The war in Ukraine revealed that the old generation of tanks are capable of waging war if they are integrated into an integrated combat system, and that tanks, even if they are modern, become easy prey for the enemy's infantry if they are left alone and without protection.

The Royal Armed Forces have a large number of tanks and the SDF is estimated as follows:

• More than 200 M1A1SA Abrams tanks approx.
• More than 200 Soviet T72B/BK/EA and Chinese MBT2000 tanks.
• Over 200 M60A1/A3 tanks, in addition to about 100 M48A5 tanks and 100 SK105 tanks, some in service and some stored and able to deploy again in the field.
• In addition to about 100 AMX10RC tank hunters.

This firepower of the Moroccan Armored Corps does not exist in any European country (except Poland)! If we add to this the firepower of the Royal Artillery in its various components, as well as the firepower of the infantry, supported by a huge number of anti-armor missiles and other sources, then we are faced with the most powerful ground force among the countries of the region, without speaking on its field mobility and other elements.
