Morocco Becomes The First African Country To Give Tanks To Ukraine by adamusuleiman3: 5:50am On Jan 23, 2023 |
The Morocco army sent an unknown number of T-72B tanks to be modernized in the Czech Republic and deployed to Ukraine, media reported on Sunday. They have been reportedly modernized by the Czech company Excalibur Army in the Czech town of Sternbeck. In the photos dated January 9, when Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala visited the site, the old Moroccan tanks can be seen on the repair line. The report underlined that the turrets of the tanks are in the original colors of the Moroccan army (sand). The United States has earlier promised financial aid to countries that decide to get rid of their Russian or Soviet military equipment. The report suggests that the Moroccan T-72s sent to Ukraine could be later replaced with M1 Abrams from the American military surplus. The Moroccan army had originally purchased 148 T-72s, 136 T-72Bs and 12 T-72BKs from the Belarusian army in two batches in 1999 and 2000. Rabat's decision to deliver arms to Ukraine was made during the Ramstein Air Base summit on Ukraine in April, 2022 organized by the United States. Tunisia and Morocco were the only two countries representing north Africa at the event. https://www.i24news.tv/en/news/ukraine-conflict/1674409784-morocco-gives-tanks-to-ukraine-report Video of the tanks. https://twitter.com/profcaillou/status/1617214446677417991?t=N-kO9EWxkcyRaOOpQo_6Pw&s=19 1 Like

Not a good move by the Morrocan. You don't play geopolitics with emotions. If Germany, France, and Britain has no tank to spare, is it Morroco that would take on their war head-on? Self-preservation is the name of the game. 5 Likes |

Morocco should show some restrain because this war is not our war. We are NOT going to give our lives for another West European Nonsense. Let the British , the Polish , the French and the Scandinavians fight the war they all wished for. |

Morocco denied sending T-72 tanks to Ukraine "The T-72 tanks purchased earlier in Belarus were undergoing modernization in the Czech Republic, and it was the Czechs who transferred them to Ukraine in violation of the terms of the contract." 2 Likes 1 Share |

leofab: And why shouldn't Africa be neutral in this war? Last I checked, I didn't see the USA, UK, and France run to the aid of Rwanda during the genocide. I equally didn't see the west run to end the conflict in Southern Sudan. BTW didn't the USA place an arms embargo on Nigeria during our counter insurgency ops against Boko Haram that we had to turn to the east (I.e. Russia, China, Pakistan, Belarus, Singapore, Isreal, etc) for arms and training. A bit of history: keep in mind that the Ukrainians were the ones selling arms to the damn RUF rebels against yhe Nigerian led ECOMOG force and innocent people of Sierre Leone during the bloody SL Civil War. We have no quarrel with Russia so I suggest we mind our business. 3 Likes |
