The amount of threats has risen and risen over the past few years, while the Algerian government has reduced and reduced their Defence spending. The current government has decided to change this and replace the old and broken equipment. This increase in defence spending is already incorporated in the budget.
The Algerian government is planning to buy the following:

The Algerian government wants to buy the nimitz class aircraft carriers, 104 MIM patriots and the uavs from Russia. For the rest is a supplier needed in europe
EDIT: Because the American goverment is unwilling to help, the algerian government has decided to seek suppliers elsewhere. The algerian government now wants to buy from russia
