Algeria to Buy 70 Russian MiG-29 Fighter Jets

MosNews

Russian aircraft constructor MiG has signed an $1,5-million agreement with Algeria and will deliver about 70 multifunctional MiG-29 fighter jets to the country within the next few years, the Interfax news agency reported.

Algeria will pay the sum by repaying the Russian state debt and transferring money directly.

The MiG-29 that equals or surpasses the U.S. F-15C in several areas is a widely exported aircraft, flown by “friends” of the USSR and later Russia — Iraq, Iran, North Korea, Cuba and the like.

The mission of the MiG-29 is to destroy hostile air targets within radar coverage limits and also to destroy ground targets using unguided weapons in visual flight conditions

I hope this time this is true.
