That's a lot of AC. It will be interesting to see the ToT part of the deal.

Iran has already some local plans sir,
Examples are F-313 (users of this forum made fun of it's progress but it's a nice platform after all), Saeqeh-1-2, Shafaq, Borhan, etc and we have reached the technology of producing turbojet engines which can be upgraded to the turbofans in the near future (As former DM said, 2-3 years), called Owj-engine :

a new patch for L39 became l39CW

“Based on big existing fleet and our approach of supporting L-39s users and building business relationships with them, we developed a package, available for the customers to improve operating capabilities by new engine and also new avionics,” said Giuseppe Giordo, president of Aero Vodochody.

The L-39CW is the latest in a long list of L-39 variants that includes the recently launched L-39NG. First unveiled at the 2014 Farnborough International Airshow, the L-39NG features the same FJ44-4M engine as the L-39CW, as well as other improvements. The main differentiator between the L-39CW and L-39NG appears to be that the former offers upgrades to existing airframes, while the latter is a new-build solution that offers some additional enhancements.

Oh I know, I'm very familiar with what's been going on in Iran for many years.

Examples are F-313 (users of this forum made fun of it's progress but it's a nice platform after all)

Well, until it gets off the ground, it deserves to be made fun of to be perfectly honest with you (and I'm not saying this to insult you or Iranian innovation or anything like that), it's the overwhelming sentiment and for good reason. Get it off the ground and flying and doing loops and landings and everyone will tuck their tails and shut up. Until then...

So Russia has to offer an interesting deal btw

Good, I hope so. It's long overdue to modernize that fleet. Should also look at China's J-10B and get in line for that.

Algerian SR5 rocket launchers spotted


Algeria’s National People’s Army (ANP) appears to have acquired Norinco SR5 multiple rocket launchers (MRLs).

The MENA Defense website published photographs on 19 November showing two SR5s on transporters that were purportedly part of a convoy carrying newly delivered systems in Algeria.

The SR5 carries two pods that can fire either 122 mm (20 per pod) or 220 mm (six per pod) rockets. Bahrain is the only other confirmed export customer to date, although Venezuela reportedly also operates the system.

That was not a good year for us...

Bit of an understatement.

Condensed :

The launch on December 17th 2017 of Algeria's first communication satellite is a game changer.
As for its brother Paksat 1R, Alcomsat 1 is a Dong Fang Hong 4 derivative with a 588 kg payload
good for 15 years and carrying 33 transponders in both Ku & Ka bandwidths and X, UHF and EHF.

This will change things by allowing Tacsat for commandos and opening the armed drones era for Alger.
Prospective buys for the latter are the CH-4 and Wing Loong from China or the Yabhon-R from the UAE.
​

Tay transl. /short version.

This makes Algeria the major ISR player amongst locals
to Egypt to the East and much further even to the South.

Good day all, Tay.

Nice shot of Algerian IL-76 coming in for a landing. What a monster. I wish Egypt would pick up 3 or 4 of these and use them for A2A refueling.

thx dude, unfortunately our special forces still using aks i dont know why we dont buy west rifles

Not true...special forces are equipped differently with interchangeable weaponry...They choice of weaponry is dictated by the type of mission they are conducting..
For the grunts, AKs are the norm and they are not going to change in the foreseeable future..

Great work! Crush those cretins without any mercy!

If there was anything other than the AK, we would've seen it for sure! Not a single pic or litterature of any other assault rifle acquired or produced. Pics or it never happened!

 

[ezerdi2]

AK caliber 7.62 in urban areas that poses security problems (crosses the walls), 5.56 NATO or Russian is better adapted to the close combat or from house to house, even the Russian FS use the Russian 5.56

 

[Taygibay]

Merci Ezerdi for providing that listing! post # 2396

Point in case, Algeria is more upfront than most about
the details of its forces' operations. Very honest!

Bonjour chez vous, Tay.

@Gomig-21 , Algerian army is not Americanized like yours, she is an army of action and its wannabe ennemis fears her, she doesn’t dwell in publicity to impress ...She has a country to protect, and with 7 unstable borders, not one of them has been molested to this day...
