Strengthening its fleet of firefighting. This is the full scope of the acquisition by Morocco of three Canadair CL-415 aircraft from Bombardier Aerospace in Canada. On its Facebook page, the FAR-Maroc military forum specifies that these three aircraft will have to be delivered to the kingdom as early as next year. This new arrival will bring the number of Canadairs the country has to eight. Morocco had acquired five Canadairs in 2011.
