Armée Marocaine 🇲🇦

[sabot2012]

en tout cas l'arrivée des 200 ABRAMS sera un apport qualitatif non négligeable pour nos FAR

[abdelK]

Aucune des versions SA ne possède de blindage à l'uranium appauvri ni d'ERA, ni la version australienne et encore moins la version irakienne Youma, pourtant elles sont facturées plus cher que la possible version marocaine.

S.A. désigne deux choses différentes: Situational Awareness et special armor.

Quand je dis tous les abrams SA je parle de la deuxième signification (special armor) et non la première. En effet tous les abrams M1A1 ont ce blindage composite, qu'ils soient A1 simplement, M ou AIM ou tout ce que tu veux. C'est d'ailleurs le cas de tous les tanks d'aujourd'hui, Leo, Leclerc, T90, challenger...tous possèdent un blindage composite plus ou moins équivalent. Par contre, ce blindage n'a rien à voire avec un blindage de type depleted uranium armor mesh. Celui là est pour le moment résevré aux M1A2SEP. Il n'a été livré ni aux australiens, ni aux iraqiens ni aux kowetiens...et surement pas aux marocains. Ceci dit le blindage des versions A1 reste performant même si c'est une technologie qui remonte à l'origine à la guerre froide.

Morocco is to acquire 200 upgraded Abrams M1A1 main battle tanks that will receive US$1 billion in upgrades paid for by US taxpayers before delivery.

The Defense Security Cooperation Agency has notified Congress of a possible Foreign Military Sale (FMS) to the Government of the Kingdom of Morocco for enhancement and refurbishment of 200 M1A1 Abrams tanks and associated parts, equipment, logistical support and training for an estimated cost of $1.015 billion.

Morocco does not currently operate the M1 and the M1A1 Special Armor (SA) configuration tanks are to be provided as part of a grant Excess Defense Article (EDA) – again at cost to the US.

The upgrade covers the provision and installation of 150 AN/VRC-87E and 50 AN/VRC-89E Exportable Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio Systems (SINCGARS), 200 M2 Chrysler Mount Machine Guns, and 400 7.62MM M240 Machine Guns. The possible sale also includes 12 049 842 ammunition rounds (including 1400 C785 SABOT, 1800 CA31 HEAT, and 5400 AA38 SLAP-T), 200 M250 Smoke Grenade Launchers, support equipment, spare and repair parts, personnel training and training equipment, publications and technical data, communication support, US Government and contractor technical assistance, and other related logistics support.

“This proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and national security of the United States by helping to improve the security of a major Non-NATO ally that continues to be an important force for political stability and economic progress in Africa.

This package of M1A1 tank enhancements will contribute to the modernization of Morocco’s tank fleet, enhancing its ability to meet current and future threats. These tanks will contribute to Morocco’s goal of updating its military capability while further enhancing interoperability with the US and other allies,” the agency told Congress in a standard paragraph. “The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region.”

According to the International Institute for Strategic Studies, Morocco currently has on inventory some 40 East bloc T72 MBT, 220 US M60 MBT, and 116 Austrian SK-105 Kürassier light tanks. Some 200 M48 remain in storage. To date the sole African user of the Abrams has been Egypt, which also co-produces the huge vehicle.

The US and Morocco regularly hold joint exercise, the latest being Saharan Express and Phoenix Express earlier this year.

In recent years, the Royal Moroccan Air Force took delivery of the first of 24 Block 52 F-16 Fighting Falcons from Lockheed Martin, fitted with Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-229 Enhanced Engine Package engines and Raytheon ACES electronic warfare suites.

Visiblement, c'est le contribuable US qui paye pour ça, et ça ne sent donc pas très bon. Il va y avoir (en fait il y a déjà) des bases US en Libye, au nord Mali, au Nord de la Mauritanie, au Maroc...Donc au final j'imagine à terme (dans les 10 ans à venir) une attaque de l'OTAN sur tous ces fronts avec comme auxiliaires les FAR marocains...

Plus clair ici.



Pour info rien de plus:

Depleted uranium armour

The M1A1 tank incorporates steel-encased depleted uranium armour. Armour bulkheads separate the crew compartment from the fuel tanks.

The top panels of the tank are designed to blow outwards in the event of penetration by a HEAT projectile. The tank is protected against nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC) warfare.

One L8A1 six-barrelled smoke grenade discharger is fitted on each side of the turret. A smoke screen can also be laid by an engine-operated system.

In August 2006,GDLS was awarded a contract to produce 505 tank urban survivability kits (TUSK) for the US Army Abrams tanks.

TUSK includes add-on reactive armour tiles, loader's armour gun shield (LAGS), tank infantry phone (TIP), Raytheon loader's thermal weapon sight with Rockwell Collins head-mounted display and BAE Systems thermal driver's rear-view camera (DRVC). TUSK entered service on M1A1 / M1A2 tanks in late 2007 and was deployed to Iraq.

Australian M1A1 tanks are fitted with Saab Barracuda multispectral camouflage systems which reduce the tank's visual, radar and infra-red signature.
