Morocco handed over about 20 T-72B tanks to Ukraine

It is known that the tanks were supposed to be modernized in the Czech Republic earlier. In total, Morocco has 300 T-72 tanks in various variants, including 136 T-72B. 

As reported, the tanks were purchased in Belarus in 1999 and 2000. Morocco declared the transfer of the machines to Ukraine during a meeting at the German Ramstein base in April 2022. At the time, Morocco and Tunisia were the only North African countries participating in the talks.

During the meeting, the US declared the reimbursement of the costs incurred by the countries that will join in the transfer of arms to Ukraine. Journalists believe that in exchange for the transfer of T-72B tanks, Morocco may receive Abrams from the US.

Tanks from Morocco could already go to Ukraine

The portal noted that in early January, the Czech Republic handed over about 20 T-72 tanks to Ukraine. Some of the machines were signed by Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala, as can be seen in the photo posted on Twitter. It is possible that among them could be modernized tanks from Morocco.
