The Kingdom of Morocco is currently hosting the military exercise “Mysterious Thunder,” organized by the Royal Armed Forces in partnership with the U.S. Army from August 5 to 16. This exercise primarily focuses on developing signal corps skills and enhancing capabilities in the field of electronic warfare.
The training simulates scenarios of modern warfare based on electromagnetic technology, where participants practice exchanging information with allies in the field, tracking enemy signals, and jamming or disrupting them. A variety of advanced equipment is being used, including drones, jamming devices, and balloons.
Approximately 300 officers and soldiers from several countries are participating in these maneuvers. In addition to Morocco and the United States, the participating forces include military personnel from Germany and Poland, as well as military observers from Italy and the Czech Republic.
In a statement, Major Aaron Reitsema praised the level of integration of Moroccan forces in the training, confirming their effective contribution in pursuing simulated “enemy” transmission devices using high-altitude balloons and four different types of drones.
It’s worth noting that this is the second edition of the “Mysterious Thunder” exercise, with the first edition held in Poland in 2023. This exercise comes as part of the Royal Armed Forces’ efforts to develop their capabilities in modern warfare and strengthen military cooperation with their allies.
These drills reflect the importance of developing capabilities in electronic warfare and advanced military technology, contributing to raising the readiness of the Royal Armed Forces to face contemporary security challenges.
The exercise demonstrates Morocco’s commitment to staying at the forefront of military technological advancements and its strong partnership with NATO allies. It also highlights the growing importance of electronic and cyber warfare in modern military strategy, as nations adapt to evolving global security threats.
As the exercise continues, it is expected to provide valuable insights and experiences that will further enhance the operational effectiveness of all participating forces in the rapidly evolving domain of electronic warfare.
