Military of Algeria Options

[The Joy]

I was looking at Military of Algeria (T-H-L-K-D) and found two statements that Algeria and other "Arab" states were and still are in a state of war with Israel. The article even alleged that Algeria returned several Mig-29s back to Russia because of Israeli parts in the Migs. I read the citations for those statements and none of the sources discussed Israel. From what I gathered, Algeria was upset about the shoddy work on the Migs, not because of foreign parts. I do not know about Israel-Algeria relations, but I know a state of war does not exist between the two.

What would anyone have to gain by claiming that Algeria is hostile and a threat to Israel?

They are talking about poor quality parts. Perhaps the parts from Israel were made using Cimatron, which outside of Israel they have to almost give away. Thing goes bust every couple of years or so, and than suddenly gets a mysterious influx of money to keep it afloat, but basically its not much use, and most other machining packages passed it by a decade ago.
