What happened
INKAS is in advanced negotiations with Moroccan authorities to establish an armored vehicle and drone plant near Casablanca. Moises Amselem Elbaz, INKAS representative in Morocco, detailed the plan at the Marrakech Air Show. The potential investment could range from 50 million dirhams, or about US$5.1 million, up to 300 million to 400 million dirhams.

Why it matters
The project is significant because Morocco is actively seeking to build arms domestically. A Canadian factory there would add a North American supplier inside a close ally’s new defense industry, which is Africa’s largest customer for US weapons.
