Algeria Looks to China for Jets
Algeria plans to strengthen its military cooperation with China through a potential deal to purchase J-10C fighters and KJ-500 airborne early warning and control aircraft, in order to reduce its reliance on Russia, especially as American pressure on countries continuing to buy Russian arms intensifies. If confirmed, this deal would make Algeria the first African country to operate both of these aircraft types, with delivery expected to begin in 2027, amid challenges posed by potential U.S. sanctions on countries dealing with Moscow. This comes at a time when Russian military industries are facing production difficulties due to the war in Ukraine, prompting many countries to seek alternative sources of arms.
