North African Nations Gain Fast-Track Access to US Military Drones
Egypt and Morocco have joined the US Army’s drone and counter-drone purchasing platforms, expanding the procurement relationship between Washington and two African military partners. The framework, which now includes 29 partners, aims to shorten purchasing procedures from months to days through pre-cleared equipment and established contracts.
