Press reports stated that the declaration of Russian President, Vladimir Putin, to protect Moscow's allies from any attack they are undergoing that includes a Maghreb country, Algeria.
In an article published by the newspaper "Al -Quds Al -Arabi", that the Russian president's speech before the federal association last Thursday with his country's willingness to respond to nuclear on any attack by Moscow allies is considered a real challenge for the West a relatively applied by Moscow in the case of Algeria in a different formula by providing it with advanced weapons such as the S400And Alexander missiles.
The report stated that Russia showed the defense of its allies on the one hand, as well as preserving a strategic location in the Mediterranean, Tartous's base in Syria, is considered a pledge to defend the allies indirectly applied by Russia in the case of Algeria.
The article was based on previous Russian reports indicating the intention of the West to interfere in Algeria during what is known as the Arab Spring by fueling the situation, taking advantage of the controversy that accompanied the presidential elections in 2014, or by transferring chaos from Libya through armed groups.
Reports at the time revealed that the goal of the forces is to interfere in unrest in North African countries.These forces were not dedicated to Libya because the Marines in Italy was tasked with this task.What increased anxiety is Bruce Ridel's statement, who worked as a consultant for four presidents, including Barack Obama, in his first term, has stated at a symposium at the Real Elkano Institute for Strategic Studies in Madrid in 2013 that the Arab Spring will sweep Algeria soon.
An expert in the geopolitical relations of the "Al -Quds Al -Arabi" newspaper stated that "Algeria is an ally of Russia, and the United States has a missile shield at the Rota base in southern Spain to confront Russian missiles, and geographical proximity is a real danger, and in front of the West Halan, work to change the quality of government in Algeria to tend toThe West or create chaos in it to intervene.After Russia lost Libya and was about to lose Syria, it will not venture with the loss of Algeria as a major political ally and a military ally in the event of a major international conflict.
The report said that Putin's statements to defend the allies showed the outlines of Russia's decision to provide Algeria with very advanced weapons in that sensitive period.It was not the purpose of it- according to the report- was to feed the arms race with Morocco because the latter will not attack Algeria permanently, but rather to make Algeria have a force to deter against the scenarios of Western intervention if he tried to repeat Libya's scenario by air intervention under the cover of fighting armed groups that was supposed to beIt will sneak to the south of Algeria.
The source stated that Russia has provided Algeria with the S400 anti -aircraft system, which is considered the best in the world and is able to confront all western planes, whatever its power, including the Raval and F35. In 2014 or in 2013, it secretly provided it with "Alexander" missiles that are described as terrifying because they are the sameSuperimum speed and tremendous destructive power, including hitting warships in the width of the seas or hitting targets in southern European territory and cannot be easily intercepted.Algeria did not announce the acquisition of these missiles, but rather came in a United Nations newsletter in 2015.
He concluded that Algeria has these advanced weapons and the presence of Russian warships in the western Mediterranean, on the one hand, was a deterrent to the West to avoid causing conflicts in Algeria because one strategic weapon is able to change the path of conflict or issue, and on the other hand Russia's application of the concept of defendingThe allies, who makes Vladimir Putin now a major doctrine in his perception to defend the security of Russia and its allies.
The author of the article was that a number of countries will benefit from Russian protection, led by Cuba, Serbia, China and some of the former Soviet Union Republics and even Iran, indicating that Algeria may benefit directly from the new transformation in the defense doctrine of Moscow, while other Arab countries will encourage to sign joint defense agreements withRussia after Washington has failed yesterday's allies in the Arab world.
