Morocco will reinforce its air force with another fleet of 12 F16 Viper fighter jets that have been upgraded. The country’s air force have been revamped with the reception of 24 F16 jets that made of Morocco one of the mightiest air powers in Africa, the well-informed military website Far-Maroc website said. Morocco is also planning to bring its F16 fleet to the same level of the F16 Viper, the website said. A Pentagon report said that Morocco’s Royal Air Force will bolster the defense capabilities of its F16 jets with the acquisition of advanced medium range air-to-air AMRAAM missiles. Morocco’s F16 were tested in a real life battle field in Yemen as Morocco takes part in the Saudi-led coalition against the Houthis.
