Due to Algeria's vast they had to rely on putting supplies and logistics in the hot areas, because simply they don't have good enough logitistical supply lines, thus after Morocco's purchases of long range artillery like PULS (Predator hawk 300km, EXTRA 150km, Skystriker 150km), Himars (ATACMS 300km) and potentially LORA. It made all of Algeria's bunkered S-300 bases, frontline airbases from Tindouf to Oran all within the range of Morocco's artillery. To understand how bad it is, Algeria has to put 3 S-300 batteries less than 50km from the nearest border point, considering how things worked in Ukraine-Russia war, their flagship S-300s and S-400s would be destroyed easiley. Also Morocco posses long range suicide drones like HAROP/HARPY with range of 1,000km, it already puts most of Algeria within it's range, also due to how big Algeria is, they cannot protect everything at once, hence Algeria is full of radar and SAM coverage gaps, making suicide drones going undetected quite possible and achieveble for Morocco. Do you guys think Algeria made a strategic failure by placing most of their high end systems and assets no less than 100km from Morocco? If so, does this explain why Algeria is already creating new airbases that are far from Morocco?
