Morocco is sending Soviet-made tanks to Ukraine and getting Abrams from the United States

“Golden” jobs with him The war in Ukraine It seems he decided to do so Morocco, West, sunsetAnd “turning a blind eye” and reaching out to the European allies, who are arming Kyiv, and the United States.

As it became known last week by the international media, Ukraine was supplied tanks from Morocco

These are about 20 T-72B tanks, which have been modernized (with American and Dutch money) in the Czech Republic and sent to Kyiv, in order to bolster Ukrainian defenses against constant Russian attacks.

In this way, Morocco became the first African country to provide military support to Ukraine. The T-72B tanks, which were delivered to the Kyiv forces, have been modernized and upgraded by the Czech defense company Excalibur Army. After all, Rabat currently has more than 140 T-72s, 130 T-72Bs and 12 T-72BK, which were purchased from Belarus in 1999 and 2000.

Morocco made the decision to deliver weapons to Ukraine, almost under coercion, during the Ramstein Air Base Summit of Ukraine, which took place on April 26, 2022, under the “umbrella” of the United States. At this summit, Tunisia and Morocco were the only two countries representing North Africa.

And here’s the cool thing, which shows, perhaps, how … business-minded Moroccans are. As you know, Belarus is Putin’s biggest ally in the military campaign against Ukraine. Therefore, fulfilling Ukraine’s request for military assistance, Morocco sent Soviet-made (!) Tanks – and, in fact, with compensation.

And this is because the tanks sent by Rabat to Ukraine will be “exchanged” by American tanks, and M1A1 Abrams tanks will be sent to Morocco.

At the same time, in the diplomatic field, Morocco aims to move closer to the countries of the West, as it sees that Moscow’s influence is constantly increasing in its neighbor, Algeria. It should be noted that the West, with which relations have been disrupted, such as the Qatargate scandal and the involvement of Pancheri and Georgi in it, seems to have “roots”, if not started there, also in Morocco.
