The amphibious aircraft will be piloted by Algerian crews who have completed a training course in Russia, and the machines will be serviced by technical specialists who have also studied in Russia. One of the photos shows two Be-200 aircraft, from which it can be concluded that two machines have already been delivered and are being mastered by Algerian pilots – crews are training in the Mediterranean Sea.
