Royal Moroccan Armed Forces interested in the Boeing AH-64 Apache Helicopter


A new report published by The North African Post – a Pan-African media outlet reveals that the country is currently in negotiations with Boeing for the purchase of undisclosed number of AH-64 Apache helicopters for its Armed Forces.

This new report is coming few weeks after the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces allegedly indicated interest in purchasing the Turkish-made TAI T-129 ATAK helicopter, a derivation of the Agusta A129 Mangusta attack helicopter.

The North African Post believes that the deal might have been signed in Washington during a visit by the Moroccan Military Chief of Staff Abdelfattah Lourak last April.
