Quote: "A slightly modified version of the aircraft, the Su-30MKI, is being produced for the Algerian Air Force. It will receive 12 fighters shortly and a further six by year-end, says Demchenko."
Quote: "The two-seat MiG-29M2 first flew in 2001. The type ..... has reportedly been ordered by Algeria. It incorporates a new forward fuselage, entirely different to that of the standard MiG-29UB trainer, which had a second cockpit in front of the normal cockpit, and which thus lacked radar."
Quote: "Algeria’s recent RSK MiG-29SMT order will form part of a more than $4 billion arms package with Moscow, say Russian media reports. Contracts worth up to a combined $2.8 billion for 36 MiG-29SMTs plus 30 options, 28 Sukhoi Su-30s and up to 50 Yakovlev Yak-130 advanced trainer/light attack aircraft should be signed when President Vladimir Putin visits Algeria"
So, if all come to pass, a large addition to their current MiG 29s acquired from Belarus and Ukraine, and quite a serious buildup indeed for the QJJ.

Quoting DEVILFISH (Reply 3): It was also mentioned that MiG 29s were ordered by Algeria.....
Yeah, it was some MiG-29SMT, there's a picture of it out there, but I'm too lazy, anyways they suspended the deliveries because they weren't happy with the quality of the jets and they said that the jets were refurbished used ones instead of new builds.

Actually, the first 2 are done, Sukhoi is conducting trials with the Thales laser designating pod they ordered.

They recently ordered some Agusta Westland helo's in addition to the Mi-24 Super Hinds they've ordered (and received, I have pictures of them)

It was reported that they refused a Su-30MK offer two years ago in favor of the MiG package.....
Quote: "Algeria’s interest in buying new MiG-29s emerged almost two years ago, when it rejected an offer of Sukhoi Su-30MK fighters in favour of an RSK MiG package"
They were also offered trade-ins of their old MiG-25s for new-build MiG-31s.....
Quote: "RSK MiG has invited Algeria and India to exchange their small fleets of MiG-25s for new MiG-31 interceptors in buy-back deals that would support the design bureau’s bid to extend MiG-25 operations for Libya and Syria.
RSK MiG says it is offering two MiG-25 users a trade-in deal that would enable them to acquire new-build MiG-31s to be produced at Sokol’s Nizhny Novgorod plant in exchange for their ageing MiG-25s."
It was not clear whether Algeria accepted the proposal.
