Algeria orders six Type 56 corvettes from China
In Algeria 20 hours ago

The first two heavy corvettes derived from the Chinese Type 56 intended for the Algerian navy are currently docked in Shanghai. As part of an order for six corvettes, they will gradually begin arriving in Algeria from early 2022 until the order is completed in 2023.

The version built for Algeria is larger, with better endurance, better engines and combat systems that suit the Algerian naval defense scheme.

These corvettes should be expected to be equipped with Thales's Smart S radar, which has been very successful in Algeria aboard the C28A corvettes. The ship will have a range of 6500 km. It will carry eight cross silos of YJ-83 missiles against targets at sea and on land, an HQ-10 anti-aircraft system (similar to RAM), six 324 mm torpedo tubes and a 76 mm gun with firing line. Automatique.
It could also be outfitted with other weaponry if required and has a large helicopter flight deck aft.
