Morocco Acquires Advanced Israeli Surveillance Drones Ahead of Diplomatic Thaw

Morocco would have received "spy drones" of Israeli manufacture. The delivery of these technological gems was made a few months before the restoration of relations between the Kingdom and Israel.

This official report cited by the Spanish magazine Defensa confirmed that these are combat and reconnaissance drones without a pilot, including the Hermes 900 from the Israeli aerospace company Elbit system. This modern technology delivered to the Moroccan army and used by the Israeli air force since 2015 has been in service since 2012.

The Hermes 900 is a technological gem. With a maximum payload capacity of 350 kg, its speed can reach 250 km/h and it can operate up to 9000 meters in altitude. This drone also has an endurance that exceeds 30 hours of flight, far beyond its competitors.
