Algeria has sealed an agreement with the Russian JSC Rosoboronexport firm to buy 16 Sokhoi-30 fighters, in the frame of the military deal signed between Algiers and Moscow in 2006.
State run RIA Novosti news agency has quoted Oleg Demchenko, CEO of Rosoboronexport, as saying that his company will supply Algeria with Sokhoi-30 fighters, without providing further details on the deal.
The Sukhoi Su-30MKI is a multirole combat aircraft jointly developed by Russia’s Sukhoi Corporation and India’s Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) for the Indian Air Force (IAF).
To recall, Russia’s Rosvertol attack helicopter producer said on Monday it is in talks with Algeria over exports of its Mi-28NE for delivery from 2012-2017.
In this regard, Rosvertol General Director Boris Slyusar was quoted by Russia Today TV channel as saying that the deal is likely to be sealed before the end of this year.
