Algerian Su-35 Confirmed

In this video, we reveal how Algeria’s air force has discreetly bolstered its aerial combat capabilities by integrating Sukhoi Su‑35 Flanker‑M fighters that were originally built for Egypt but rerouted amid shifting geopolitical pressures. In early March, high‑resolution satellite imagery at Ain Beida Air Base captured one of these advanced jets sporting Egyptian camouflage alongside Algerian roundels. We trace the story from the 2018 Egyptian procurement contract and its cancellation under US sanctions to the strategic redirection of these aircraft to Algeria, and explore how this move is reshaping regional security dynamics.

You’ll get an inside look at the Su‑35’s cutting‑edge systems—including its digital fly‑by‑wire controls, thrust‑vectoring Saturn 117S engines, and the powerful Irbis‑E radar capable of tracking dozens of targets at ranges exceeding 200 kilometers. We also discuss the impressive logistical operation of transporting these fighters disassembled aboard Antonov An‑124 Ruslan transports across more than 8,000 kilometers for rapid redeployment.

As Algeria brings these Flanker‑Ms online alongside its existing Su‑30MKA fleet and anticipated Su‑57E deliveries, the balance of air power in North Africa is poised to shift. Neighbors like Morocco and Egypt may rethink their own upgrade paths, while Libya’s contested skies and Sahel counterinsurgency efforts could feel the impact of Algeria’s enhanced surveillance and strike reach.
