ALGERIA, October 31.2022 (Saba) - Algeria will sign a massive contract with Russia to supply arms worth between $12-17 billion, media sources have revealed.

Africa Intelligence newspaper reported that negotiations were under way on a framework agreement on Russian military supplies for Algeria for the next 10 years.

Russia Today reported that the signing of the agreement will take place during the official visit of Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune to Moscow next December.

The Algerian military leadership is particularly interested in acquiring submarines and "Su-57", "Su-34" and "Su-30" aircraft in addition to new air defence systems, such as "S-400", "Viking" and "Antie-4000" (export version of "S-300 in 4").

Discussions are also taking place at a time when Algeria's military budget (according to the draft finance law of 2023) could increase by 130%, reaching to $22.6 billion, which would make it Africa's largest military budget.
