The Algerian Ministry of National Defence (MND) released a photograph on 9 May confirming it has acquired the CHL-906 electronic warfare system made by China’s ELINC.
The photograph showed Chief of Staff General Saïd Chengriha inspecting troops after an exercise in the 3rd Military Region, which is headquartered at Béchar, close to the Moroccan border. The line-up included three trucks, two of which had the antennas associated with the CHL-906’s multifunction radar jamming and electronic intelligence (ELINT) stations, both in travel configuration.
ELINC says the ELINT station is used to intercept and track radar radiation with a frequency of 0.1–40 GHz, while the multifunction radar jamming station can disrupt airborne radars out to a range of around 250 km.
The third truck could not be seen clearly but may have carried another component of the CHL-906 system, which can also include long-range radar jamming, millimetre-wave radar jamming, and passive radar sensor stations.
