UAE-made armored vehicles with French systems seized in Sudan, Amnesty says
UAE-made armored personnel carriers (APCs) equipped with French defense systems have been seized by Sudanese forces, Amnesty International reported Thursday.
Morocco is bolstering its naval forces with plans to acquire three French corvettes, a FREMM-class frigate, and a Russian Amur-class submarine, according to reports. The multi-role FREMM frigate, developed by Naval Group and Fincantieri, offers advanced anti-aircraft, anti-submarine, and land-strike capabilities. The Amur submarine is slated for the Ksar Al-Saghir naval base near Tangier-Med. The newspaper El Confidencial reported on the intention to incorporate a Russian Amur-class submarine. This modernization highlights Morocco’s commitment to strengthening its maritime defense infrastructure.
