China ships Russia-derived air-defence system to Algeria
Original: World’s second most powerful military sends Russia-derived air-defence system designed to stop cruise missiles to a powerful North African nation
China, home to the world's second most powerful military, has reportedly transferred an air-defence system derived from Russian technology and designed to counter cruise missiles to Algeria, one of North Africa's strongest military powers. The move highlights Beijing's growing arms export role and deepening defence ties with Algiers, a major buyer of Russian and Chinese weaponry.
Why now: Reports of a China-made, Russia-derived air-defence system reaching Algeria are drawing attention to shifting arms-supply relationships and the militarisation of North Africa.
