The Royal Armed Forces will finally have 36 units of this 155/52 mm weapon manufactured by Nexter and mounted on a 6×6 truck
Rabat already has the first Caesar self-propelled artillery systems that in early 2020 it commissioned from the French semi-public firm Nexter. The official page of the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces (FAR) on the social network Facebook has collected the first image it has published about three of these systems circulating on the country’s roads. These are the first units of the 36 that he acquired from the weapon that is currently also on the Ukrainian front against Russia, from where the defense troops have come to expressly thank the shipment of these systems, of which he has received 18, for their good performance.
The 36 Caesars acquired by Morocco represent an estimated disbursement of 200 million euros, of which 170 million are destined for the weapons themselves, and the other 30 million are intended to obtain the corresponding ammunition with which to feed the 155/52 mm caliber cannon of the system.
