You realize we're still at odds with Egypt in Libya right? There's a slight normalization of relations but they still don't support our theses in mediterranean.
And Algeria, they are going for a weird mix of german and chinese vessels and their submarine force consists of six kilos.

After the war in Ukraine, presuming the Russian threat dies down a little, this might be used to put pressure on Turkey but I think it's too early to tell.
