Worldwide competition for the fifth generation of stealth fighter jets will increase. After India and Pakistan, now also in Africa, the competition to reach this state has started -from the -fighter aircraft. The government of the West African country Algeria has announced that it will buy Sukhoi Su-57 fighter aircraft from Russia. Meanwhile, there are reports of Elmaria’s strong rival Morocco that he is trying to buy F-35 fighter aircraft from the US. If this happens, the arms race in this region of Africa can be faster. This is the first time that an African country has bought the fifth generation of fighter aircraft, which is very expensive. According to African media reports, Algeria and Morocco are not the largest military forces of Africa, but over the years they have spent a large part of their budget on defense. Both countries invest heavily in fighter jets, increasing military competition in the region. Since independence, there has been a relationship of distrust and tension between Algeria and Morocco. The ‘Sand War’ of 1963 on the border is still a sign of his relationship. The competition is underway in the region, thereby there is little hope of reconciliation. Algeria and Morocco spend heavily on their army, Seema has been closed since 1994, which is a sign of serious tension. Analysts believe that the modernization of the air forces of both countries is not just technical upgrade; It refers to the regional power balance. Each weapon buys political and military implications. For both Morocco and Algeria, fighter jets became an important target, a weapon of potential conflict and a way of resistance and prestige. However, there is a significant difference between the two countries in terms of the defense budget. In 2023, Algeria spent about $ 18.3 billion on defense, three times more than Morocco. Morocco’s defense budget is $ 5.2 billion. This difference is due to the fact that Algeria has a large army with 520,000 soldiers, while Morocco has about 200,000 soldiers. Algeria has 213 fighter aircraft, while Morocco has only 102 fighter jets. To bridge the difference of this number, Morocco contains more modern weapons in its army, which is more powerful than the Algeria. Russia offers sukhoi-30 aircraft to Algeria, Algeria has many close ties to Russia, which is the largest arms provider. In 2019, Algeria ordered 16 additional Sukhoi-30 fighter aircraft. Now he has started getting these fighter jets, which significantly increased his number. Algeria also buys Sukhoi-57, the same fighter plane that Russia gave to India. Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit to India is likely to make a big decision on the issue. Meanwhile, Morocco focuses on quality and has bought 25 modern F-16 fighter aircraft from the United States. These F-16 aircraft are the backbone of the army of Moroccan.
