53 ammunition containers for the Algerian Meko
Those who were worried about the absence of weapons on the first MEKO frigate delivered to Algeria are reassured, the ammunition arrived last October aboard two merchant ships "Esbjerg" and "Borkum". According to an article published today by the newspaper Kieler Nachrichten, which journalists had access to the site of the second Meko, registered 911.
In total, 53 containers of ammunition were delivered to Algeria during this period.
In parallel, Denel announced today that the Umkhonto missile, which also equips the Algerian frigates will enter the final test phase at the beginning of next year in order to immediately enter service.
The missile is operational in the South African and Finnish navies and will be in the Algerian navy. His younger brother, the Mokopa will arm the Superlynx helicopters that will be deployed from the Algerian Meko.

The MEKO A200 have clearly more powerful armament than C28A :
VLS for 32 SAMs vs 24/C28A ;16 RBS-15 MK III vs 8 C-802 with a more long ranre 250/ 180 km and in addition a 127 mm vs 76 mm but more expensives and with Chineses FFG Algeria have double of Frigates.
The MEKO most probably cost three times that of the C28, can't really compare apples to oranges. A better comparison would be between the 054A and the MEKO A200 and even that I am sure the 054A would come out cheaper. Now the question ask is, does Algeria really need such a high tech ship bristling with such weaponry when it's immediate problem is the ongoing Islamic terrorist threat.
