Fair question, and Believe me, this is the same question asked by all Algerians interested in military matters...When will the Algerian Special Forces change their AKs?...
Perhaps the reason AKs have remained in service until now is due to the fact that they are locally produced, and the Algerian army does not intend to introduce individual weapons that are not manufactured locally ...
Therefore, we note that the Algerian army has recently modernized its individual weapons production lines and obtained new licenses and new weapons designs from China such as the CS/LS7 and more as we previously explained in this topic.
