Moroccan negotiations on the acquisition of F-35 fighters are progressing rapidly
October 22, 2025:
A report issued by the Africa Intelligence website, which specializes in intelligence affairs in the region, revealed that Moroccan negotiations regarding the acquisition of the advanced American F-35 fighter are going well, with clear indications of tangible progress in the course of the negotiations.
According to the newspaper, Morocco has obtained official Israeli approval to supply these fighters, within the framework of what is known as “Israel’s Qualitative Military Edge Law,” which gives Israel security and military advantages that prevent any country in the Middle East from superiority over it.
African Intelligence confirmed that it had seen official documents regarding these negotiations, and also obtained official statements confirming that Israel does not mind supplying Morocco with these fighters, which indicates a strong desire on the part of both parties to complete the deal within a political and technical framework compatible with international laws.
This step is considered part of Morocco's strategy to enhance its air capabilities and arm itself with fifth-generation fighters, which reflects the Kingdom's keenness to keep pace with modern military developments and modernize its air fleet in line with regional and international challenges.
For his part, the newspaper's sources indicate that the talks include precise technical details about types of armament, radar systems and advanced combat capabilities, in addition to training programs and logistical support, which indicates that the deal will not be limited to merely delivering aircraft, but rather includes an integrated structure to support long-term operation.
Therefore, the Moroccan negotiations on F-35 fighters appear to be a prominent example of strategic coordination between Morocco and the United States, emphasizing that this deal represents a qualitative step to strengthen Moroccan air power within the context of preserving regional balances in the Middle East and North Africa.
The aircraft is designed to reduce the cost of operation and maintenance compared to previous generations of fighters, with autonomous systems to detect faults and facilitate maintenance, allowing it to fly for long periods without the need for continuous interventions. Its internal and external fuel capacity gives it a long range that enables it to carry out long-range missions without the need for frequent refueling, while advanced flight control systems ensure exceptional stability and accuracy in various combat conditions.
