Algeria refused the French frigates in favor of Russian corvettes

Algeria intends to purchase from Russia three corvettes of the 20382 “Tiger” project - an export version of the guard ship of the 20380 “Guarding” project, - citing its sources in the Rosoboronexport company, the Vedomosti newspaper reports.

The contract is estimated at 700 million dollars. Earlier, the Algerian Ministry of Defense planned to purchase French fremm class frigates, the cost of each of which varies from 400 to 600 million euros, which is significantly more expensive than the cost of Russian corvettes.

The agreement with Algeria, if signed, will be the first export contract for the supply of ships of the 20382 Tiger project.

In 2006, a number of agreements were signed between Russia and Algeria for the supply of weapons and military equipment for a total amount of 7,5 billion dollars. Algeria expressed interest in acquiring Russian frigates of the 11356 project, but later began negotiations with the French to acquire fremm class ships.

In case of concluding an agreement with Algeria, an order for the construction of corvettes of the 20382 project “Tiger” is planned to be placed at the Baltic factory “Yantar”, where the Indian order is now being fulfilled for the construction of three frigates of the 11356 project.

a cunning plan for the rearmament of our army. The 1st step was with the story of the fighters. Our Air Force is still very grateful to Algeria for such a generous gift. Ask for more. Now we got to the navy. maybe they also bribe tanks. ???

Looks like their top agent is our agent of influence.

[Goldy]

means we are arming the whole planet, but all hands do not reach our army

[RUSICH]

YES YOU ARE GOLDY'S RIGHTS. SUCH BEAUTIFUL SUCH MUCH MORE ...

Our MiGs went with French filling

Yes, our army doesn’t look like an army at all .. They fought with the Georgians on the ancient SU-25s, which they shot down with the latest BUK M1 air defense systems, again they only crushed them in numbers, and in terms of quality our army can only be compared with Zimbabwe!

Well, everything is not so straight hopeless.
Firstly, a significant part of the Su-25 was not at all ancient, but freshly modernized, they were equipped with a new sighting system that ensures accuracy with conventional ammunition, comparable to laser-guided bombs. Although high-precision munitions were also used to destroy concrete aircraft hangars, etc., even if they were a few times, they were nevertheless used, and they came in very precisely by the way. In addition, the Su-25 itself is very good - an extremely tenacious attack aircraft. The network has pictures of a couple of dryers after being hit by a missile (probably MANPADS) - one of the engines is literally in the trash from a missile, but nevertheless the plane flew to the airfield itself and landed.
In addition, the Georgians shot down our planes only on the first day, after the Air Force command woke up from traditional hibernation, it began to use competent tactics, electronic warfare equipment installed on specialized Mi-8 helicopters and the latest Su-34 attack, Georgian air defense could not do anything .
And what about "crushed by numbers," is also clearly not the case - the total number of groups of the opposing sides was comparable, the weapons were practically the same, even there was a clear preponderance of the Georgians in information support (communications, drones).
Rather, we won so easily because Georgians are still warriors, and they did not want to die for their high, by Georgian standards, salaries and beautiful NATO uniforms, even for their supposedly "ancestral territories."
Moreover, it seems to me that the cowardly drape of Mishka Ssaki is on the air from that very "ancient Su-25" (which just flew past ), played a significant role in the panic that swept the Georgian troops.

yes, I agree, they blocked our Buk with one of our aircraft, with the help of our brand-new radar, which Mishiko kindly provided the Ukrainian godfather, but at 08; 08; 08; we had only one SU-34th so it interfered with the radar - it blinded Georgian air defense, then immediately attacked and flunked Buka. On this the victory of the rodents ended ... Ours began to scratch their bad heads, because if it were not the Georgian, but the Turkish army, or the Israeli, then there would be more blood, then. more...

It’s nice to read Mimoprohod's comment. It is supported by the facts.

I do not agree with you about our army. I believe that when there are clear goals and the command is untied (without any political restrictions), then we’ll click on anyone’s nose. There may be little ongoing combat experience right now (when compared with the same NATO with their ongoing testing of military operations in other countries), but I don’t think that everything is so bad here. And even more so, Georgia, well, do not lower our military to them. Yes, Georgians will not take offense at me :) Therefore, do not panic over yourself and others :)

[DEfindER]

I agree that our armies do not allow us to act on our own discretion .. as a result, soldiers were deployed in Chechnya much more than in Afghanistan .. because they fought like in ancient times, sending legions of soldiers to well-trained and heavily armed bandits .. yes because that comparing Russia and the Union doesn’t make any sense at all, it’s like heaven and earth .. It's a shame .. there was such a country, but they also gave the Nobel to Gorbachev for the successful development of the USSR .. despite the fact that 89% of the people in the referendum wanted to save country..
I apologize for leaving the topic ..
