JOSCOFELIX:
the list is not correct .phantom is more that 8 isotrex mrap aw139 for navy and other
Even if sometimes you can find some errors on it , but sipri is a serious source for military sales and contracts .

Try to put better sources for the exact numbers of the isotrex phantom II , because i have checked quickly most source talk about 8 phantoms II only

Same for the Aw 139 how many are in service in nigerian AF and navy ? The numbers are close to sipri

Pic : AW 139 helicopters
NAF N° 540 , N° 541
Navy N°312

- 3 SH-2 122mm Self-propelled gun
- 2 SH-5 105mm Self-propelled gun

Question ; what is Algeria using its Yaks for?
Even if the yak 130 have good capabilities as a light combat aircraft and can be used for exemple against terrorits and small threats (cost effective) , But due to the large algerian jets and attack helicopters, uav fleet ( sukhoi 30, sukhoi 24 , mig 29 , mi-28, mi-24 ,CH-4B, yabhon uav ect..) ,and the absence of terrorist camps on the territory that need air strikes, its only used for formation


The yak's 130 are deployed at the Mechria Air Base , used for the pilots Advanced training before moving to the sukhoi 30 and mig 29


Fighters Pilots start their basic training in Tafraoui air base / Oran on the zlin 142 , Aero L-39 Albatros , then move to the advanced training in mechria air base on these yak's -130 . And move after to the third final training on the sukhoi 30 or mig-29 .

There is reports that 30 more yak-130 will be delivred to algeria soon

SportsRe: We Need To Start Loving Our Things. Algerian Fans Praises Uyo Stadium by Flanker:
in algeria, these days there is great dissatisfaction with stadium lawns. most of the lawns in the big Algerian stadiums have suffered an epidemic of fungi and are in poor condition. the coach of the Algerian national team Belmadi told that it is a sabotage for algerian football , even the new Oran olympic stadium ( on the pics) not yet open, his lawn which has cost millions was also affected . That why you will find a lot of algerian football funs complaigning about algerian stadiums these days


in addition to its existing stadium infrastructures , algeria is building 4 large new stadiums which are almost finished .

ORAN Sports Complex Stadium in Oran 40,000 Seats ( pic 1,2)

What helicopters was Nigeria set to acquire.?
its 12 AH-1 Cobra attack helicopters

WASHINGTON, July 29 (Reuters) - U.S. lawmakers have put on hold a proposal to sell almost $1 billion of weapons to Nigeria over concerns about possible human rights abuses by the government, three sources familiar with the matter said on Thursday.

The proposed sale of 12 AH-1 Cobra attack helicopters made by Bell (TXT.N) and related equipment worth $875 million is being delayed in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and in the House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee, the sources told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Foreign Policy reported this week that the State Department had informally notified Congress of the proposed sale but that it was frozen in the Senate committee. The package includes the helicopters, spare engines, navigation systems and 2,000 precision-guided munitions, it said.
