Morocco buys US aircraft with Israeli military spy equipment
According to various media sources, Morocco will convert the US-made Gulf Stream G550 aircraft into spy planes by the Israeli company Elta Systems. The scandal surrounding Pegasus software is far from over.
Morocco is preparing to strengthen its spy system with new
spy planes. These are provided by the United States of America, and we learn
from solid sources.
The new aircraft is the Gulfstream G550s made in the United
States. Initially for commercial aircraft, they will be converted into ISR

detailed technical specifications of these aircraft have not been released.

In the scandal, the Serbian kingdom was particularly isolated and accused of
using Israeli spy to spy on journalists, but also foreign leaders such as the
Frenchman Emmanuel Macron. Troubled, Elda Systems has been cited as a
subsidiary in the conversion of the Gulf G550s, which is an Israeli subsidiary
of Israel Aerospace Industries.
Although Moko authorities have denied all allegations
related to the Pegasus software, the case is likely to feed the most skeptical,
especially if it is known that Rabat and Tel Aviv have come very close in
recent years, especially under the Trump administration.
It should be remembered that Morocco is one of Africa’s
leading African investors and is also considered by the United States as the
gateway to the continent. This good deal between the two countries has helped
Rabat in recent years to obtain combat and surveillance equipment from
Washington DC. The new Gulf Stream 550s will be added to a military arsenal,
which has been on the rise in recent years, especially with the acquisition and
deployment of two spy satellites in 2017 and 2018 capable of capturing accurate
images. 70 cm from any point on the planet within 24 hours.
