In August, a Russian reconnaissance ship and a missile corvette stopped at the Algerian coast. In the same month, the Russian defense minister held talks with the Algerian chief of staff and noted that bilateral relations were developing dynamically.
Admiral Grigorovich, a frigate of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, anchored in the port of Algiers on November 12, according to the Algerian Defense Ministry.
According to the ministry, the Russian and Algerian naval forces are seeking military cooperation.

This "aims to strengthen joint military cooperation between our naval forces and the Russian Navy," according to the Algerian ministry.

The stopover is scheduled to last until November 14.
This is not the first time that Russian ships of this fleet have stopped at the port of Algiers. On August 16, the Kildine reconnaissance ship made a three-day stopover at the Algerian coast, and the Mercury 734 missile corvette stopped at the port in August, according to local media.
The warship Admiral Grigorovich – commissioned in 2016 – is part of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. Today, the Fleet consists of more than 40 warships and submarines and is responsible for protecting Russia's interests in the Black Sea region, ensuring maritime security and participation in international exercises and operations.
