Morocco plans to equip its Indian-designed WhAP 8×8 armored personnel carriers with Israeli-made turrets by Elbit Systems, upgrading from a standard 30 mm cannon to 105 mm and 120 mm gun systems. This move aims to enhance the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces' adaptability for diverse terrains. Morocco has also signed a $370 million contract for 36 ATMOS 2000 artillery units, signaling a shift in its defense partnerships, as Israel becomes a key arms supplier since 2020.
