Morocco receives American military boats

The Royal Moroccan Gendarmerie received four Fearless Super Interceptor boats, produced by the American company Metal Shark.

According to the Defense Web website. Metal Shark said that the recent delivery of four boats brings the number in service with the North African country to 15 boats in total.

The “Metal Shark” ships, which were delivered by the Moroccan Navy, have several features that make them among the most advanced weapons. They are small and light warships that can maneuver easily in narrow waters, and are equipped with advanced weapons such as laser-guided missiles. The Fearless Super Interceptor boats are considered an important addition to the Royal Navy on the one hand, as well as a weapon to deter all threats coming from the sea due to their multiple tasks.

According to Metal Shark, the type of ship delivered to Morocco was developed in response to growing demand among military operators for larger, faster interception vehicles that provide greater range and better sea-keeping ability.

The model reaches top speeds in the 70-knot range and can maintain a 50-knot cruise speed for more than 12 hours.
