Export Su-34s: Will Algeria Receive a Batch of Six Aircraft?

In mid-September 2025, amateur photographs of new Su-34 fighter-bombers Su-34, painted in unusual camouflage, began to circulate in Russian Telegram channels. The photographs show export vehicles with tail numbers "703" and "704". According to the authors of the posts, these aircraft are intended for the Algerian Air Force. However, there has been no official confirmation from the customer country or representatives of the Russian United Aircraft Corporation yet.

At the same time, it is noted that there is unconfirmed information at the level of rumors about the construction of the first batch of 6 Su-34s for the Algerian Air Force.

If we follow the logic of numbering, then, considering that at least two vehicles ("701" and "702") were previously delivered, two more batches of export Su-34s are now being prepared for delivery to a foreign customer. This is just an assumption, since new front-line bombers from Novosibirsk have not yet been spotted in Algeria. And they did not fall into the lenses of foreign reconnaissance satellites, although such topics always arouse great interest in the West.

At the moment, the implementation of the first export contract for the supply of Su-34s has been confirmed.

Earlier www1 reported that Russia will supply Su-34s with headlights from the Su-57 and a new BKO abroad: standard aircraft do not have such "gadgets."
