Morocco Buys Long-Range ATACMS
Morocco has ordered an undetermined quantity of long-range MGM-140 Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) from the U.S. to improve its defence capabilities. According to the U.S. Department of Defence, Rabat, like the other four countries, would acquire launch systems as part of the arrangement. The African country was one of five countries covered by a new $227 million contract for supplying Lockheed Martin-made weaponry.
The order includes the Baltic states Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland. The contract, which involves the delivery of the ATACMS and associated launch systems, is projected to be completed by late 2028. According to Washington, in 2023, the Moroccan government requested 40 ATACMS and 18 M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) launchers to fire the missiles.
