Algeria 'to cut U.S. arms, go Russian'
Published: June 1, 2010 at 3:58 PM

ALGIERS, Algeria, June 1 (UPI) -- Algeria's defense ministry plans to cut arms purchases from the United States because of lengthy delivery delays and concentrate on Russian weapons systems, the El Khabar newspaper reports.

Russia's state arms exporter Rosoboronexport has signed two contracts worth $1.2 billion to deliver 16 Sukhoi Su-30 multi-role fighters to Algeria and six to Uganda, Russia Veomosti daily reported Monday.

The Irkut Corp., part of Russia's United Aircraft Corp., says it has delivered 28 Su-30MKA jets to Algeria, customized to meet Algerian specifications, since 2006.

There was no immediate confirmation by Algeria authorities of Monday's report in El Khabar.

Two years ago, Algeria refused to accept MiG-29 interceptors bought from Russia because of their "inferior quality." Moscow said Russia's defense ministry would fork out $690 million to buy back the aircraft.

It isn't clear why the Algerians, a key Cold War regional client of the former Soviet Union, would now seek to turn again to Moscow for its military equipment.

However, Moscow is making a serious effort to re-establish its influence in the Middle East, albeit on a more pragmatic level than the ideology-driven deals made during the Cold War and one of the most effective ways of doing that is through arms sales.

Russia's defense deals with Iran and Syria have aroused considerable controversy, particularly with the United States and Israel, but they have made the point that Moscow is determined to be a player in the region, particularly as U.S. influence is widely seen to be waning.

El Khabar quoted Algerian defense officials as saying that "long delays" in U.S. arms deliveries was the primary reason behind the focus on Russian systems.

"The delay in the deliveries of modern weapons from the United States has prompted the defense ministry to defer plans to purchase new arms systems in the fight against terrorism," the daily reported.

U.S. political conditions on arms sales to Middle Eastern states and U.S. support for Israel also appear to have been factors in the reported Algerian decision.

El Khabar said the Algerians decided to scrap plans to buy AH-64 Apache helicopter gunships, presumably for use against Islamist militants linked to al-Qaida who are operating in Algeria, particularly in its southern desert regions. The AH-64, designed by Hughes, is manufactured by the Boeing Corp.

Instead, the defense ministry plans to acquire fourth-generation Russian attack helicopters, either the Mi-28 Havoc, which costs a quarter of the AH-64, or the Kaman Ka-Alligator Hokum 2.

The Algerian move coincides with a move to establish a joint counterinsurgency operation against al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, the jihadist group created in 2009 which seeks to integrate all Islamist militants in North Africa.

The Algerians, as the major military power in North Africa, have in recent months set up a joint headquarters with neighboring states to coordinate counterinsurgency operations across the region.

One of the main obstacles has been the lack of attack helicopters by these states to harass and pursue the insurgents across the desert wastes and transport aircraft for rapid deployment of ground forces.

Najavljuju da ce umesto porucanih AH-64, Alzir nabaviti Mi-28 ili Ka-52 helikoptere.
Ocigledno da se onaj ruski saltomortale sa Migovima i Suhojima isplatio.

Russia to supply Su-30, Yak-130 planes to Algeria in 2011

Russia will supply Su-30 Flanker fighters and Yak-130 Mitten trainer/light attack jets to Algeria in 2011, the deputy head of the Russian Federal Service for Military Technical Cooperation, Vyacheslav Dzirkalin, said.

"The delivery of Su-30s and Yak-130s [to Algeria] is due to begin next year, this is no military secret," Dzirkalin said.

Earlier in April, the head of Russian Technologies state Corporation, Sergei Chemezov, in an interview with the Novaya Gazeta weekly said Russia would ship to Algeria "a party of modern Russian fighters" at a price of about $1 billion.

Dzirkalin did not specify the number of aircraft to be delivered to Algeria.

Speaking about Russian-Algerian Navy partnership, Dzirkalin said that "636 series diesel submarines are being repaired and modernized, but the Algerian side has not stated anything on the purchase of the new subs."

The 636 Kilo diesel-electric submarine is a more advanced version of a 877 Paltus sub. The Chinese Navy has two Russian Kilo submarines built at one of the leading submarine shipbuilding companies, Admiralty Shipyards in St.Petersburg.

Algeria, Libya set to buy Russian Pantsir-S1 short-range air defense systems

11:36 02/06/2010

Algeria and Libya are ready to buy Russian Pantsir-S1 short-range air defense systems, deputy head of the Russian Military-Technical Cooperation Service Vyacheslav Dzirkaln said on Wednesday.

"The new system has shown high efficiency. Algeria and Libya have shown interest. Syria has already bought these systems in the past," Dzirkaln said, adding that other potential customers were likely to appear.

Earlier in March the Russian press said Algeria was planning to buy 40 Pantsir-S1s for $500 million.

Several Russian papers also reported that Russia had signed a $734-million contract with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in 2000 on purchasing 50 Pantsir-S1s.

Dzirkaln confirmed the reports and said Russia would finish delivering the Pantsir-S1's to the UAE this year.

Pantsir-S1 is a short-to-medium range combined surface-to-air missile and antiaircraft artillery system manufactured by the Tula-based Instrument Making Design Bureau (KPB).

It is designed to protect point and area targets and carries up to 12 two-stage solid-fuel surface-to-air missiles in sealed ready-to-launch containers.

The system also has two dual 30 mm automatic cannons that can engage targets at a range of up to 4 km.
