Following the completion of the MK 82 Penetrator by subsidiary LAHAB—an aircraft munition designed to strike hardened targets and bunkers—the group has secured a defense contract with Morocco. Announced at the Marrakech Airshow 2026, the agreement with the Moroccan National Defense Administration involves supplying the Royal Moroccan Air Force with precision-guided weaponry, including the ‘Desert Sting 16’ (DS-16) glide weapon and ‘Thunder P-31’ munitions for integration into unmanned combat aerial vehicles.
