A new rafale export prospect ?

if true, Algerian arms acquisitions seems to be very similar to Indian ones

they bought within the last 10 years:
Su-30MKI variant (MKA)
T-90
Il-78
and now Rafale

Algerian Air Force doesn´t have any Mig-23/21 but Mig-25 and Su-24

**TR1** · 16th September 2012, 23:46

Wow. Those Normandie-Niemen shots are excellent.

Maybe they can fly PAK-FA at some point

.
What....it would look good in the colors.

Defense Merger to Push Rival Deals?

EADS and Elysée politics threaten Dassault

Up until France’s presidential election in May, Dassault Aviation was sitting unchallenged as the country’s anointed defence industry champion.

Boosted by its Rafale fighter jet winning preferred bidder status in a multibillion-dollar contract with India’s air force, the family-owned company also had the secure backing of Nicolas Sarkozy, the centre-right president

Russia will silly! its a nice way for Russia to thank France for sending their men to help Russia. Besides. those alpha jets need to be replaced anyways.

For all the fans of the outrageous "pink" Rafale... you may not get a real-life manga Rafale, but this sure is close enough.

I hope that nobody on Strategypage will be afraid of that red star on a Rafale

A new step in the rafale programme materializes !

Gripen NG prefered to the Rafale in Algeria

According to our information, the Algerian Staff began negotiations with the Swedish Saab to replace a portion of its fleet of MiG-29 by Gripen NG

Could one of our French friends translate the details on the Snecma collaboration with GTRE as given on this page from Air & Cosmos?

Both have a lot of political strings attached.

Relations with Morrocco could deteriorate quite fast and after the recent purchases of US aircrafts and tanks an aircraft like Gripen, powered by a General Electric engine, may not be the wiser option for Algeria.

**BME330** · 20th September 2012, 10:38

If they can sell 80 planes to Algeria nobody is going to care about Morocco. Mainly because Algeria has the big bucks despite Morocco.

80 to replace three dozens isn't realistic, for the time being matching the number of Su-30MKAs with whatever they choose as MiG-29 replacement would be more than welcome by the Algerian Air Force.

**Sign** · 20th September 2012, 21:32

sweden would never sell any fighter to algeria, thats my 5 cents anyway
