The issue of Algeria's purchase of Russian Su-34 front-line supersonic fighter-bombers is already being resolved. Production of aircraft under this export order has already begun, according to military expert Maya Karlin in an article for The National Interest.
In 2019, the Algerian authorities signed a contract with Russia for the supply of 14 Su-34 fighter-bombers. In addition, the North African country plans to acquire the Su-35.
The Su-34 was created as a replacement for the Su-24 based on the Su-27. Its first flight took place in April 1990. The new fighter-bomber entered service in 2014.
The aircraft is equipped with two AL-31F engines (12,500 kgf thrust), which allow it to reach speeds of up to 1,900 km/h. As Karlin emphasized, the Su-34 is known for the power of its weapons.
It received a GSh-30-1 cannon with a caliber of 30 mm. Up to 8 tons of weapons can be placed on 12 suspension points. The Su-34 carries guided missiles, aerial bombs and is considered"one of the deadliest fighters", the expert added.
According to Karlin, Algeria will benefit from buying Russian fighters. It is the Su-34 that will help strengthen the country's Air Force.
