Morocco is preparing to acquire advanced night vision goggles from the United States for its military forces, according to recent reports. The equipment, which includes the latest generation of night vision devices, is part of ongoing defense cooperation between the two countries.
The potential sale, valued at an estimated $100 million, would provide the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces with enhanced capabilities for nighttime operations. The goggles are designed to improve situational awareness and target identification in low-light conditions.
The US Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) has not yet formally notified Congress of the proposed sale, but discussions are reportedly in advanced stages. The deal would require approval from the US Congress, as is standard for major foreign military sales.
Morocco has been modernizing its military equipment in recent years, including acquisitions from the US, such as F-16 fighter jets and M1A1 Abrams tanks. The night vision goggles would complement these systems, supporting interoperability with US forces.
No timeline has been announced for the finalization of the purchase. The Moroccan government has not publicly commented on the reports.
