Following a recent coup attempt, Algeria has dispatched four Sukhoi Su-30 fighter jets to Niamey, Niger. The Algerian Ministry of National Defence announced the deployment of the two patrols, alongside a refueling aircraft, on Sunday. These multirole combat aircraft landed at the airport in the Nigerien capital, signaling a show of support. The move comes in the wake of political instability after the attempted putsch. Details regarding the specifics of the Algerian mission were not immediately available. This deployment underscores Algeria’s commitment to regional security and its response to the unfolding situation in Niger. The aircraft's purpose is presumed to be bolstering Niger's airspace security.
