Morocco is bolstering its military capabilities with the new SpyX suicide drones. Acquired from Israeli manufacturer BlueBird, these unmanned devices can rapidly launch towards targets at high speeds.
The SpyX drones have an operational range of about 50 kilometers, allowing them to cover considerable distances, including crossing the waters of the Strait.
The SpyX drones, already in the possession of the Moroccan army and having undergone testing, are cutting-edge loitering drones.
These drones can fly for 90 minutes, covering a distance of 50 kilometers, sufficient to reach certain areas, for instance, Spain’s Cádiz province.
The SpyX drones can be controlled from other drones of the same manufacturer flying in proximity. Morocco has previously acquired this model, expanding its capabilities further.
The manufacturer highlights that this innovative technology represents a significant milestone in the evolution of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems, offering precision, efficiency, and affordability.
Designed for surveillance and attack missions, SpyX enhances situational awareness, enables precise attacks, and revolutionizes tactical superiority on the battlefield.
Upon identifying and designating the target, the aircraft rapidly descends, reaching speeds of 250 kilometers per hour. The 2.5-kilogram explosive warhead detonates upon impact, with the manufacturer providing specialized warheads for different mission requirements, including personnel, vehicles, or armored targets
The SpyX drones are part of Morocco’s access to advanced Israeli weaponry following the strategic memorandum of defense collaboration signed between the two countries in 2021.
This agreement has facilitated the acquisition of high-tech systems like the Heron or Hermes 900 drones, Harop suicide drones, Spike anti-tank missiles, and their own Barak MX anti-missile shield, valued at $500 million and manufactured by IAI, the parent company responsible for selling the SpyX suicide drones to Morocco.
