The contract between Russia and Algeria for two Project 636E SSKs is supposed to have been signed in 2014. According to SIPRI, the delivery of the submarines is scheduled for 2018. SIPRI also mentions the contract for supply of two Project 20382 'Tigr' corvettes to Algerian Navy, which was probably signed in 2011. As the specialists of the institute pointed out, the delivery of both ships is scheduled for 2017.

Algerian Navy already operates four diesel electric submarines (SSK):
Two older generation Project 877EKM Kilo delivered in 1987 and 1988 and two new generation Project 636 Improved Kilo class (also known in Russia as Varshavyanka class) from a recent deal and delivered in 2010.

If it goes through, this new deal will make Algeria one of the strongest submarine force on the African continent and in the MENA region.

Algeria remains one of the biggest importers of Russian defense production. According to SIPRI, the combined Russian arms deliveries to the North African country in 1991-2015 were valued at USD8.27 billion.-
