The Algerian Armed Forces.

[Ceylal]

Algerian assistance to Egypt is well-known and documented. They provided them with logistically and financially help that shall never be forgotten. Up to this day Algerians don't like the Israelis ,to the best of my knowledge.

Not really, we don't have anything against the Israelis, but we have a problem with occupation, be it by Israel or by Irak of Koweit...and we frawn on that. That is reason, the Algerian government never got involved in Tunisia, Lybia, Egypt or Syria .
For the two wars that we fought with Israel, Is was, to put it as clearly, in defence of an Arab nation that was aggressed and that was before the Algerian constitution of 1976, that forbid our armed forces to venture out of our borders. If another war [god forbid] flares between Egypt and Israel, depending on geopolitical conjecture at that time , we may or may not participate. Although, it will be a good test for our armed forces as well as for the Israelis. In 73, we lost one airplane a MIG17 and the pilot managed to bring his plane back to base where he was assigned to and the pilot was unhurt and landed his bullet riddled plane safely. Algerian Airforce kept the IDF at bay from Cairo sky while our 8 BB (tank brigade) kept Ariel Sharon Armada pinned down at the deversoir. The Algerian contribution kept Egypt from being overrun and we left all that equipment including several squadron of MIG 21 to Egypt when the war ended. And you know, I visited the army museum in Cairo, in the 80's they were not one word or an indice of our participation even though we lost between 67 and the war of attrition around 3000 individuals.

Algeria Involved in Arms Race with Neighboring Countries
Friday 15 March 2013, Amsterdam

The Algerian defense industry, which valued US$9.4 billion in 2012, is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.2% over the forecast period (2013-17) and value US$13.6 billion by 2017. Recent terrorist attacks in the country have necessitated the increased spending on counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency efforts. Another factor driving the country’s defense spending is Algeria’s involvement in an arms race with neighboring countries such as Morocco, Libya, and Tunisia, which is further fuelled by Russia’s eagerness to supply weapons to these countries. An arms race between countries often sparks reactive defense procurements and this is a trend that has been seen in many North African defense procurements over the last decade.

Algeria has borne the brunt of sustained terror attacks for many years and the recent attack on the In Amenas gas facility, that left 37 workers dead, has further strengthened the government’s resolve to enhance its defense capabilities. The Defense Ministry’s recent takeover of the Municipal Guard which was previously under the control of the Ministry of Interior has also warranted large scale defense procurements, with a prime motive to counter terror.

Over the forecast period Algeria is expected to make procurements in areas such as C4ISR systems, drones for attack-grade unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), surveillance equipment for ground monitoring, submarines, amphibious ships, naval dockyard infrastructure, fighter jets and associated support systems, armored vehicles, and attack helicopters.

Report: Cash-flush Algeria no longer relying on Russia as top military supplier
Special to WorldTribune.com
WASHINGTON — Algeria, the most attractive market in Africa, is
expected to increase defense spending, a report said.
An industry report asserted that Algeria would increase military and
security spending over the next five years. The report by SDI said Algiers
was expected to spend the majority of its capital expenditure on military
modernization.


“Despite its challenges, Algeria remains one of Africa’s most attractive
defense markets, with a defense spending capability that is expected to
increase in the forecast period primarily owing to increased energy exports and an arms race in the North African region,” the report, titled “Future of the Algerian Defense Industry — Market Attractiveness, Competitive Landscape and Forecasts to 2017,” said.
Released on April 9, the report said Algerian defense spending increased
by 21.4 percent and reached $10.3 billion in 2013. Through 2017, the North African state, the ninth largest weapons importer, was expected to grow at a rate of 6.2 percent as Algeria seeks Western military equipment.
“Furthermore, the opening up of Algeria’s market to suppliers other than
those in Russia is expected to make it an exciting proposition for foreign
companies looking to enter the market either through direct
government-to-government deals or by establishing joint ventures and
partnerships,” the report said. “During the forecast period, the Algerian
government is expected to spend the majority of its capital expenditure on
modernizing its Army, Navy and Air Force.”
The report identified Algeria’s requirements as counter-insurgency amid
the threat by Al Qaida Organization in the Islamic Maghreb. Algeria’s
defense industry has also been undergoing modernization while discussing
proposals with the Gulf Cooperation Council.
Algeria, however, has been hampered by what the report termed a high
level of corruption. SDI said the Algerian defense industry has been marred
by a lack of transparency in awarding defense contracts, and that Algiers
failed to define a formal offset policy.
“While procurement is supposedly conducted as open competition, in
reality personal relations and the country from which the supplier is from
are considered to be influential in decision making,” the report said. “The
Algerian government does not publicly announce its future procurement plans.
All defense tenders are closed and are sent only to a few specific
companies.”
