Le Monde French: The warehouse’s military “storage” will not live up to the modernity of the Algerian army – New Algeria

The famous French newspaper Le Monde considered in one of its recent issues that the modernization of the Moroccan army adopted by… Warehouse system This does not mean a reversal of the balance of power in the region, as Algeria – according to the newspaper – still enjoys a defense budget equivalent to twice its Moroccan counterpart, and occupies an advanced position globally in military spending.
Algeria, according to the French newspaper, is always ranked twentieth in the world according to the “Military Balance” classification, and in 2024 it will even be ranked third in the world in terms of the percentage of gross domestic product (GDP).PIB) allocated to its army after both Ukraine and another country.
The French newspaper quoted specialist journalist Akram Kharif as saying that Algeria has been implementing a program to modernize its military capabilities for twenty years, with the aim of matching the latest standards, from hypersonic missiles to fifth-generation aircraft.
Le Monde also explained that the last year witnessed successive announcements, both official and unofficial, about the acquisition of advanced offensive and defensive equipment and systems by both sides.
According to the newspaper, Algeria received Su-35 and Su-57 stealth fighters, in addition to Iskander-M missiles, with updated radar systems. andAdvanced air defense S-350 and S-400“All of them are Russian made.
In return, Morocco deployed, according to the newspaper, American “HIMARS” missile launchers, and received Turkish “Bayraktar Akinci” drones, and American “Apache” attack helicopters.“.
The newspaper went on to explain that the resumption of official relations between Morocco and the Zionist entity in 2020 constituted a turning point, as the Zionist entity became the third supplier In this regard, former Moroccan military expert Adnan Kaab was quoted as saying that the United States remains the structural partner for Moroccan defense policy, but industrial cooperation with the Zionist entity accelerated the development of military capabilities.
The most recent manifestations of this cooperation included the deployment of the “Barak MX” air defense system, the purchase of “Ovek-13” satellites, in addition to “Atmos 2000” cannons, and the announcement of the establishment of a factory to produce suicide drones near Casablanca.
The Makhzen’s regional ambitions, coupled with its quest to develop its army, are now causing concern among the Spaniards, who are wondering about the future of the cities of Ceuta and Melilla, according to the newspaper.
According to the latest poll of the Royal Elcano Institute in Madrid, which was published recently, 55% of Spaniards consider Morocco the main threat to their country, ahead even of Russia.
However, Rabat has not officially expressed its desire to reintegrate these two cities located in the north of the country into Moroccan territory, the French newspaper notes..
The Makhzen regime has been working for years to compete with Algeria regionally as it is a regime that lives with a “superiority complex” vis-à-vis its neighbors, most notably Algeria. In addition to its continuous efforts to engage in an arms race and its attempt to gain support from the Zionist entity, this regime is also working to try to compete with Algeria economically, especially through the trans-Saharan African natural gas pipeline starting from Nigeria and reaching Europe.
Although economic experts confirm that Algeria is the most suitable country to cross this pipeline, more than Niger, the Moroccan warehouse system has been working for some time to attempt to modify the passage of this pipeline through its territory, even though this requires its passage through 14 African countries, which empties the project of its economic feasibility and makes its financial cost very high, requiring full decades of time to recover, according to these economic experts.
