"The Algerian Navy orders six Chinese Type 052D guided-missile destroyers, the first three of which will be delivered by China to the Algerian Navy and the last three to be built by Algerian shipyards." March 1, news from the Algerian side. At the same time, the Algerian side said: "Algeria and Italy are negotiating a new frigate and another amphibious assault ship." Algeria's economy is the fourth largest in Africa, behind South Africa, Nigeria and Egypt. Oil and gas are the backbone of Afghanistan's national economy. Algeria has the fifth largest natural gas reserves in the world and is the second largest natural gas exporter in the world. Let's say the Algerian Navy orders six Chinese Type 052D guided-missile destroyers. 6 052Ds can walk sideways in the Mediterranean, and there are not so many large drives made by a single company in France, Italy, and Spain. Algerian shipyards were built with the help of the past, and they can only build frigates of the thousand-ton class. Really want to build a 052D destroyer, this span is too big, right? Algeria wants to buy 6 052D destroyers, this level exceeds the British and French navies, does Algeria have this economic strength and objective needs? Buying six 7,000-ton shield ships in one go and putting them in the Mediterranean Sea is a major event that the French Navy will be shocked by. Theoretically, the Algerian Navy ordered China 1 075 + 6 052D + 12 054A for a package price of 10 billion US dollars, which can be replaced with oil and gas, and go directly to the "landing in the French port of Marseille" after equipment! Algeria has bought the YJ-12E anti-submarine missile from China, and is the only country in the Mediterranean region that has a Mach 4 anti-ship missile, thus establishing an absolute regional superiority in force. In recent years, Algeria has bought a lot of Chinese weapons, including 200 PZL-45 155mm self-propelled howitzers, 70 SR-5 rocket launchers, 100 sets of Red Arrow 12 anti-tank missiles, Rainbow 3, Rainbow 4, Rainbow 5, WJ700 armed drones, Eagle anti-stealth radar, 6 056 frigates export type, 3 C28A frigates. Buying 6 Chinese Type 052D guided-missile destroyers everywhere in one go, this news is a bit unreliable and unrealistic. Even if the Algerian Navy were to go to war with Morocco, it would not need such a powerful fleet. Six 052D destroyers, west of Malacca, are the most powerful fleet in addition to the U.S. military. The goal of the Algerian Navy is not to start a war with Morocco, but with the Italian, French and Spanish navies! Algeria let the wind buy the 052D guided-missile destroyer in order to bargain with Italy and lower the price to Italy, Algeria mainly wants Italy to sell at a lower price.
