Algeria indirectly confirmed the purchase of Russian Su-57 fighters.

The Ministry of Defense of Algeria, a country that is a potential buyer of Russian Su-57 fighters, has published a photo showing a Russian Su-57 fighter in service with the Algerian Air Force. This is the first official evidence that this African country has indeed entered into a contract with Russia for the supply of fifth generation fighters, as previously reported by the Avia.pro resource.

During the ceremony, at the headquarters of the Ministry of Defense of Algeria, a panel was seen showing a Russian-made Su-57 fighter in the colors of the national Air Force. This is the first official evidence that Algeria has foreseen the acquisition of Russian combat aircraft. Apparently, we are talking about the purchase of 12-14 fighters worth about $ 2 billion.

Experts draw attention to the fact that modern Russian weapons are actively purchased in Algeria, and in this case Su-57 fighters are no exception, especially since it is also expected to conclude a contract with Russian manufacturers and to purchase several dozen Armata tanks, and this, in turn, would give Algeria the status of the country with the most modern weapons on the continent.
