I believe we can all agree that this is a pan African military forum and as such new users like chakib MUST be welcomed with both arms open.
This thread has been around for more than 10 years and in most times it's been mostly the usual suspects (people from the same countries) posting pics, so if an Algerian wants to cover all that time in one fell swoop, let them feel free to do so!
People from outside Nigeria don't just get to this thread because they saw an ad on some random website, they do so because they were searching for info about African Militaries and this thread was like finding a gold mine.

I pray that one day Egyptians, Ethiopians, Sudanes,Rwandans, Ugandans, Senegalese, Malians ... Even that country/state called Rep.of Saharawi (I hope I got that right) .... All represented fully!!

It seems Algeria has almost every kind of military equipment...I wonder how Egypt is still ranked before them.

if we start posting Egypt's, this thread will "crash"

What if we go the other way and stop any outside forces from exploring any of those precious minerals for those 50 years and let nature take it's course... Maybe they will go through there own mini evolution process and be ready to take their place in the world after that.

IRL,who has that altruism? That's the job of a Saint deputised by not one or two but several Angels!

Domestic Modification for Special Forces of a 120 Mm W86 mobile mortar, deployable and retractable with a hydraulic system based on Mercedes G-Class. The latter has been specially designed to manage the weight of the equipment and to contain ammunition reserves. Up to 40 shells can be stored in secure containers The vehicle has an inertial and GPS positioning system and Falcon III network-centric communications system.

That's an extremely useful platform. If it were me they'd be deployed at the coy level with ALL units,though I'd maybe go for an 81 mm to carry more rounds on a Toyota 75 6x6. Are yours with deployed with specialised support units or Infantry?

Chakib:
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)

How's Russian after sales service for your Sues? Nemesis mentioned it was a struggle bringing tears to the IAF getting them to fulfill this clause of the contract.

I didn't know the 40 mm GLs were in service. Or is it just the spec ops and spec ops capable? Is that a milkor?
