The Algerian Air Force has ordered additional Su-30MKA and MiG-29M/M2 fighters from Russia in a contract worth nearly $2 billion.

According to Vedomosti, a Russian-based newspaper, Algeria ordered an additional 16 Su-30MKA and 14 MiG-29M/M2 fighter jets for $1.8 mill excluding weapons and training.

These will complement the 58 Sukhois and MiGs already in service with the Algerian Air Force.

The MiG-29M and two seat MiG-29M2 offers longer range due to increased internal fuel, a lighter airframe, slightly more powerful and improved RD-33MK engines, an in-flight refuelling probe, multi-function displays in the cockpit and improved avionics than the legacy MiG-29.

To replace its aging fleet, Algeria had previously ordered 34 new MiG-29SMTs from Russia, but due to quality problems Algeria refused further deliveries after 15 had been received and Russia instead supplied Algeria with 16 Su-30s.

Algeria received its most recent batch of Su-30s in 2016/17. The Su-30MKA operated by the Algerian Air Force is a specialised variant of the Su-30MK fitted with a mix of French and Russian avionics. The former includes a head-up and multifunction displays manufactured by the Thales Group and Sagem of France.

In 2016, Algeria was interested in acquiring the Su-34 strike aircraft from Russia but it seems little came of those discussions.

Welcome to another exciting episode of "Cutting-Edge Tech" in Military Africa. Today, we're diving into the world of military innovation as we unveil the next frontier: the United States' Hypersonic Missile program.

In the ever-evolving landscape of military technology, the pursuit of superiority and strategic advantage has led nations to explore the frontiers of innovation. Among the latest breakthroughs capturing global attention is the development of hypersonic missiles, with the United States at the forefront of this cutting-edge technology.

The United States has unveiled its first hypersonic missile, the Hypersonic Conventional Strike Weapon (HCSW). The HCSW is capable of traveling at speeds of Mach 5 or more, making it difficult to intercept.

Hypersonic missiles represent a paradigm shift in military capabilities, combining unparalleled speed and precision to redefine the dynamics of warfare. These missiles fly at speeds exceeding Mach 5, or five times the speed of sound, rendering them nearly invulnerable to existing missile defense systems. The implications of such advancements are monumental, reshaping military strategies and international security dynamics.

Stay tuned for more thrilling insights into the world of technology and innovation. Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe, and as always, stay curious!
