There is a good reason why Algeria is moving more toward the West,for 50 years Algeria bought arms from the Russians, but during this period the Russians never granted Algeria the right to manufacture weapons , But during the short period of cooperation with the West .. we find today 3 German companies in Algeria, Mercedes Benz for trucks and engines, Hansoldt for electronic systems and Rheinmetall Defense for armored vehicles ... As for Italy, by 2025, the Augusta Westland Algeria plant will start assembling and manufacturing Leonardo helicopters. In Algeria..and the same goes for China and Serbia and UAE, who are transferring defense technology to Algeria...So what did the Russians give Algeria During those years?

Leonardo speeds up Sétif helicopter project
Italian manufacturer Leonardo is betting on the fourth quarter of 2021 for the arrival of its first "made in Algeria" helicopter, which is being built in partnership with the Armée Nationale Populaire. Nearly four years after signing a partnership contract with the Armée Nationale Populaire (ANP), Leonardo is pulling out all the stops to get its future helicopter factory in Sétif off the ground. Construction finally began last June and is now moving rapidly ahead. Structural work on the second hangar was completed in early January, three months after the roof of the main building was finished. The tarmac which will accommodate the future aircraft is almost ready. Nine annex buildings are also under construction. Leonardo Helicopters Algeria, led by Benjamin Farina, Leonardo's sales director for North Africa, and chaired by Mouloud Belhadj, head of Algeria's Etablissement de Développement des Industries Aéronautiques (ADIE), is due to produce its first chopper in the fourth quarter of this year. The joint venture will produce the AW169 light helicopter, the medium-lift AW101 and AW139 versions, and the latter's military version, the AW149. Initially, they are exclusively intended for the ANP, police and gendarmerie forces, and civilian security units. The military market could however be smaller than expected. After years of increases, this year's national defence budget has been set at 1,200bn dinar, unchanged from 2019 and 2020. But due to the devaluation of the dinar, in real terms it now represents just $9bn at the current exchange rate, which is $1.2bn less than last year (Africa Intelligence, 09/01/20)
