Royal Moroccan Air Force en Scramble.nl
The Royal Moroccan Air Force, or Alkowat al malakiya al jawiya, was founded in 1956 when it still was called Sherifan Royal Aviation. The Air Force's backbone is formed by French built aircraft. The Air Force consists of four commands. The training command uses the AS202 for initial training. Further training is done on the T-34C and the CM170. After graduating, fighter pilots are trained on the Alpha Jet, Transport pilots on the King Air and Helicopter pilots on the B205, B206 and SA342.
The transport fleet is based at Kénitra in the north and uses the C-130H and B707 for transport and air-to-air refueling. The CN235 is also used for transport and the Falcon 50 and Gulfstream are used for VIP-transport. The Rabat-Sale based helicopter fleet shows a variety of helicopters. Besides the SA330 and the CH-47 for transport, the Air Force uses B205, B206 and SA342 helicopters. Also based at Rabat-Sale is the Maritime Patrol Flight which uses the Do28 to protect the coastal waters.
The Backbone of the Royal Moroccan Air Force is formed by four fighter squadrons, two with F-5's and two with Mirage F1's. Moroccan fighters can be seen in Europe occasionally, of which the ODAX 2000 excercise held in France is an good example. Also, Moroccan fighters are regularly seen in Spain and Portugal on exchange visits. The F-5 is rather old but funding for upgrading the type is not available. Also the plans for purchasing Mirage 2000's have not been realised yet.
The Escadron Aerien Gendarmerie Royal (Royal Police Squadron) uses a variety of helicopters and is based in several airfields. Most aircraft in the Moroccan Air Force use civil registers. There is however some confusion about the way the serials are presented. For instance, CN-RMW is the way a B737 is serialled, but CNA-OB is used on a C-130. The fighters use numbers instead of characters.

1) Aclaraciones a este documento. Las FAR, al igual que los franceses, hablan de “Places d’armes” al referirse a las guarniciones. Las unidades reflejadas en esta lista tienen su centro, podríamos decir administrativo, en esas ciudades, pero no necesariamente tienen sus cuarteles en ella. Lo mismo ocurre con las GU, cuando se habla de la 7ª Brigada UMUD, en Zaag, estamos hablando de una unidad administrativa, no de combate, al igual que pasa con los regimientos.

King Mohammed receives staff that supervised launching of Moroccan satellite
Morocco, Local, 1/12/2002
Morocco's King Mohammed VI received on Friday the team of the royal center of space remote-sensing that supervised the assembling and launching of the first Moroccan Maroc-Tubsat satellite.
The first Moroccan satellite, successfully launched on December 10 with the assistance of the Russian rocket Zenit-2, was named "Zarkae Al Yamama" by the late King Hassan II. Later on King Mohammed VI personally followed up all the stages of the project.
The satellite will have four missions, namely earth observation, message conveyance, data collection and spotting.
The satellite was fully developed by Moroccan searchers who supervised the construction, assembling and integration of all sub-systems and the tests were conducted in partnership with the technical university of Berlin.
The satellite, launched from the Baikonour cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, evolves on a low circular orbit at a 1000 Km altitude, and
makes every day fourteen rotations around the earth, including four over Morocco.

Signals from MAROC-TUBSAT
Sven Grahn
On 23 January 2002, the word spread around the world about an "intruder" on the 144-146 MHz amateur band. Space listener's quickly identified the satellite as MAROC-TUBSAT, launched 10 December from Baikonur in Kazakhstan on a Zenit-2 rocket. The satellite has the international designation 2001-56D and is in an orbit with an inclination of 99.6 degrees, a period of 105.2 minutes and an altitude between 986.8 and 1015.5 km.
The signal
I easily picked up the signals from MAROC-TUBSAT on 23 January 2002 at 1956.45-2012.15 UT. The signal is on for 30 seconds and off for 30 seconds. The signal is narrow-band FM with an audio tone (1172 Hz) keyed on/off to represent Morse code characters (see image below map). (Listen here, RealMedia file 68 kB). The S-meter on my Icom R-100 went to full scale deflection! Here is a map of the pass near Sweden.
The message from the satellite
The message reads VVV DE CN/ZARKAA AL YAMAMA.
The CN is the ITU prefix for Morocco as many have noted. This makes sense since the satellite was built for the Royal Centre for Remote Sensing in Morocco by the Technical University of Berlin. I have visited the control centre for the satellite in the capital Rabat a couple of years ago. It is a very nice facility. Concerning the words "Zarkaa Al Yamama", an Arabian-speaking friend of mine says that this a woman's name . It could also be a name of a boat, a ship or a monument. But mainly this is a woman's name. So, maybe this is the name of the satellite!
I received more information from the AMSAT Bulletin board via Jeff Brower:
* Luc Leblanc VE2DWE stated: First: I'ts in Arabic and "Zarkaa al Yamama" mean THE BLUE DOVE referring to a women in the Muslim Islamic religion who was a nonbeliever and due to an event in her life convert to the Islamic religion. A lot of Arabic names streets, cities, building... as Ramon says are named to honor her name. There is also a famous battle in year 633 the YAMAMA battle who is probably connected to this. But my Arabic studies ends here.
* Dave Page stated: Zarkaa El-Yamama is an Arab woman thought to have the incredible ability to see friends and foes from miles away. (Read more).
I think the name makes sense when you think of the fact that the satellite is a remote sensing satellite!
The frequencies used
Originally, Morocco filed the following frequencies with the ITU.
143.625 MHz (same as voice from ISS and Mir!!)
436.075 MHz
2208.0 MHz
I really listened hard for signals on the two lower frequencies soon after launch but heard nothing. Has anyone heard it on those frequencies?
The presently used frequency appears to be a violation of international agreements on how to use the 144-146 MHz radio amateur band (the so-called 2 meter band). The OSCAR satellite sub-band is 145.8-146.0 MHz. Morocco is an IARU member (International Amateur Radio Union) and should be well aware of this. 2-m band planning gives 144.05-144.10 for general CW and weak signals and 144.10-144.20 for Earth-Moon-Earth transmissions and weak signal Single Side Band (SSB) communications.

New headquarters of remote sensing center dedicated in Rabat
Morocco, Science, 12/19/2001
Morocco's King Mohammed VI dedicated last Saturday the new headquarters of the royal space remote sensing center (CRTS).
The sovereign toured the center departments, including the audio-visual department that is endowed with state-of-the-art equipment in matters of photography, digital television and recording.
The sovereign was greeted by several officials as well as by the team of searchers who supervised the development and launching of the Moroccan first satellite.
The center, set up in 1989, is a state institution that seeks to promote and coordinate activities in matters of remote sensing at the national scale. It collects and distributes satellite data, assists users and contributes to promoting training and research in the field.
The center has carried out several projects integrating remote sensing in matters of natural resources assessment and management, environment protection and land planning.

EU and Morocco reach agreement on Galileo
Brussels, 8 November 2005
EU and Morocco reach agreement on Galileo
The European Union has reached agreement with the Kingdom of Morocco on its participation in the GALILEO programme. This agreement was initialled in Brussels today by Mr. Heinz Hilbrecht, Director at the European Commission, and S. E. M. Alem Menouar, Ambassador of Morocco to the European Union. The agreement will cover industrial and scientific cooperation and the development of specific GALILEO applications for Morocco and its region (the western Mediterranean and West Africa). Vice-President Jacques Barrot in charge of EU Transport policy said: “I welcome today’s agreement. Morocco is the first African country to join the Galileo project”.
Intensive exchanges took place since formal negotiations started on 21 April 2005. The agreement reached today lays the basis for Morocco’s active participation in the programme and creates a framework for cooperation. It also represents a great opportunity for Galileo to become established in the western Mediterranean region. The agreement will be submitted to the next meeting of the EU Transport Council meeting in December 2005 for formal approval by the EU Member States.
Morocco is the fifth country joining the Galileo programme, after the conclusion of the agreements with China, Israel, Ukraine and India. Discussions are also under way with Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Norway, Chile, South Korea, Malaysia, Canada and Australia.
The ever growing interest of third countries to participate in the GALILEO programme represents a big boost for the GNSS market, which has indeed considerable potential: 3 billion receivers and revenues of some €275 billion per year by 2020 worldwide, and the creation of more than 150.000 highly qualified jobs in Europe alone.
Background
GALILEO is Europe's satellite radio navigation programme. It was launched at the initiative of the European Commission and developed jointly with the European Space Agency (ESA). It heralds the advent of a technological revolution similar to the one sparked off by mobile phones. It will also make for the development of a new generation of universal services in areas such as transport, telecommunication, agriculture and fisheries. To date, this technology, which promises to be highly profitable, is mastered only by the United States’ GPS system and Russia's GLONASS system, both of which are financed and controlled by the military authorities. The GALILEO programme will be administered and controlled by civilians and guarantees quality and continuity, which is essential for many sensitive applications. Its complementarity with current systems will increase the reliability and availability of navigation and positioning services worldwide.

T-72 marroquíes
Obtenido de Tanknet
http://63.99.108.76/forums/index.php?sh ... l=moroccan
By the way, T-72B were modernized by the Belarussian tank-repairing plant No. 140 in Borisov before shipment to Morocco in 2001. They have new FCS of the Belarussian company OAO “Peleng”. Reputedly it is 3 times more effective than the basic Soviet FCS.
_____________________________________
That's vanilla T-72B (so with Kontakt-1 ERA) from Belorrusian Army. So full standard.
Yes indeed they were refurbished at Borisov (the only place in Belarus to refurbish tanks at capital level
) and the contract was worth some 10-12 million US$ accord to some sources.

El ORBAT este que hay aqui esta muy, muy anticuado. La revista FAM lo copio de estimaciones de allá por el año 1984-5 y lo dió por bueno. Lastima que se dediquen a copiar en vez de a investigar de verdad. Si uno se fija, faltan las provincias del sur, así como la zona occidental de Marruecos. Y por supuesto obvia la gran cantidad de nuevas unidades que hay: 6ª Brigada Real Blindada, 9ª Brigada Real mecanizada, etc, etc, etc. asi como las unidades transformadas, por ejemplo, varios de los BIS convertidos en BIM (Motorizados), así como los nuevos batallones BSF.

France to Upgrade Moroccan Mirage F-1 Fleet
2 May 2006
Morocco has awarded France a contract worth around EUR350 million (USD420 million) to overhaul the Moroccan Air Force's fleet of 27 French Mirage F-1CH/EH fighter aircraft.
The contract covers the overhaul of airframes and engines, as well as upgrade of the avionics suite. The aircraft will be fitted with RC400 multi-target radar: a derivative of its RDY radar. The package also includes MICA air-to-air missiles as well as Sagem's new AASM bomb kit.
The prime contractor is Astrac (Association Sagem Thales pour la Rénovation d'Avions de Combat), a joint venture between Thales and Sagem. Subcontractors will include Dassault and Snecma Moteurs.
The aircraft were delivered by Dassault Aviation in the late 1980s. Up to half the fleet have been grounded since. Morocco decided to refurbish the aircraft instead of buying surplus F-16s.

Marruecos suprime el servicio militar obligatorio
Actualizado viernes 01/09/2006 11:26 (CET)
EFE
RABAT.- El Gobierno marroquí ha aprobado un decreto que suprime el servicio militar obligatorio con efecto inmediato, informó el ministro de Comunicación y portavoz del ejecutivo, Nabil Benabdelá.
El Gobierno aprobó este decreto siguiendo las instrucciones en tal sentido del rey Mohamed VI, que es el jefe supremo y jefe de Estado Mayor general de las Fuerzas Armadas Reales, según el portavoz gubernamental marroquí.
Benabdelá subrayó que esta decisión no tiene "ninguna relación" con los "últimos acontecimientos" —el desmantelamiento de una célula terrorista en la que supuestamente estaban implicados cinco militares— sino que era una medida "completamente normal" y similar a la que han adoptado otros muchos países.
Hasta ahora, los jóvenes marroquíes tenían que realizar a partir de los 20 años un servicio militar obligatorio de 12 meses de duración.
Los estudiantes y los jóvenes que tenían familiares a su cargo estaban sin embargo exentos del servicio militar obligatorio.
El último contingente que realizará a lo largo del presente año el servicio militar obligatorio está formado por 5.420 reclutas.
