The analyst recalled that the Algerian army already consists of 44 "4++" generation Su-30MKA multirole fighter-bombers with N011 "Bars" onboard phased array radars.

During the period of operation, the flight personnel of the Algerian Air Force managed to adapt to the controls of the Su-30MKA, which are structurally similar to those of the Su-57. Therefore, the retraining process will be much more efficient and smooth.
