Well they can't have the T-129 as nobody has modelled it yet.

Ha, and the NBAI Apache has not been converted to P3D yet! The logistics of supporting two completely different types of airframes always surprises me, especially ones that have similar battlefield missions.

Like a lot of air forces it comes down to cost and the pair will probably work in tandem, with the dearer more capable Apaches taking charge in the field of operations guiding the cheaper T-129s. The concept is the hi-lo mix.

Since a few years morocco is showing interest to AH64 Appache.
The T129 was new to me.
According to wikipedia only Pakistan is using T129 out of Turkey

The US government has approved the sale of
36x AH-64E Apache of the latest version.
The value of the contract will be 4.25 billion$.
I am not sure if the costs of the ordered F-16V and upgrades of the current F-16 fleet is included.
Morocco will be the second customer for the AH-64 in africa.

The RMAF plans to base the ordered AH-64E in
Khouribga Airbase GMMK.
Two squadrons will be based there and the first delivery is expected in 2023.

Re: Morocco wants AH-64 Apache and T-129 ATAK helicopters
Thanks, I am guessing they will wear standard desert camo similar to other RMAF airframes. Google seems to think Qatari Apaches are RMAF versions with the camo confusion. I've seen a RMAF repaint on the DCS AH-64.
