As the publication notes, this is only the first batch, it is currently unknown how many tanks the country is ready to send to Kyiv. Before shipping, the tanks were modernized in the workshops of the Czech arms company Excalibur.
According to the publication, the country purchased T-72 from Belarus in 1999-2000. Today, the Moroccan army has 148 T-72 tanks; 136 - T-72B; 12 - T-72BK.
As noted, the decision to transfer tanks to Ukraine was made at the April meeting in the "Ramstein format". Tunisia and Morocco were the only countries representing North Africa.
Earlier it was reported that Morocco will deliver spare parts for T-72 tanks to Ukraine on the recommendation of the USA. Thus, the kingdom became the first in Africa to provide military aid to our country.
