France approves transfer of 30 UAE Mirage 2000-9 jets to Morocco

France has approved the transfer of 30 Mirage 2000-9 fighter jets from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to Morocco, following successful negotiations between France and Morocco.

The transfer of these advanced fighter jets strengthens Morocco’s air capabilities, particularly in the context of regional tensions, according to sources consulted by LA RAZÓN, a Spanish newspaper. The Mirage 2000-9 is the latest iteration of the aircraft, specifically designed for the UAE Air Force and equipped with modern technology for high-precision air strikes.

The transfer required French approval as stipulated in the original sales agreement between France, the manufacturer, and the UAE. This agreement restricts the transfer of these jets to a third party without French consent.

According to the article, France’s initial hesitation stemmed from a desire to potentially repurpose the jets for Ukraine’s ongoing conflict with Russia. However, France ultimately agreed to the transfer after negotiations with the UAE.

The UAE reportedly sought the transfer of the Mirage 2000-9 jets to Morocco as a condition for finalizing a 2021 agreement to purchase 80 Rafale F4 fighter aircraft from France.
