The Algerian Air Force continues to master the new Russian fifth-generation Su-57 fighters. A photo of the aircraft in new camouflage for the Algerian Air Force has appeared online.
The camouflage coloring combines shades of turquoise and white, and differs from the standard "pixel" scheme used for the Russian Aerospace Forces.
The tail of the fighter clearly shows the identification marks of the Algerian Air Force, which confirms the African country's status as the first foreign operator of the advanced platform.
The media reported that in 2021, Algeria signed a contract for the supply of 14 combat vehicles. The first two Su-57s arrived to the customer at the end of 2025, when videos of training flights began to appear.
In November 2025, the head of the UAC, Vadim Badeha, confirmed that two Su-57E fighters had already been delivered to a foreign customer. According to the Telegram channel "Russian weapons", it was the Algerian Air Force.
