Experts say that the aircraft is prepared in the conditions of hot climate of North Africa, and its appearance confirms the beginning of the implementation of the large export contract of Russia with Algeria. According to open sources, Algeria signed a previous purchase agreement in 2016 and concluded the contract in 2019. Supply provided that by June 2025, the actual Su-34ME was not reported, but the emergence of a new board indicates the aircraft readiness to transfer to the customer.
SU-34ME is an export version of a deeply upgraded front-line bomber designed to strike for land and marine purposes in saturated air defense. The Russian military claim that the car allegedly received elements of poorness and the ability to use the terrain for scratching.
A number of sources indicate the installation of a new AL-41F-a power plant similar to that applied to the Su-35C and Su-57, with a dry draft of about 86 kN and a foxes up to 137 kN, which provides greater maneuverability and useful load. However, there is no confirmation of this yet. The estimated cost of one SU-34ME is up to $ 50 million, which is several times lower than the price for the American F-35 (from $ 120 to $ 200 million).
