I think, this database consists of "Excess Defense Equipment". Meaning delivering equipment which are taken out of the US inventory.

However as far as i understood, deal for tanks was a brand new contract.

We saw that, keep believing makhzenstan propaganda.. We handed your sorry @sses during la guerre des sables, when the Algerian army was the ALN, and we handed what was left of your bloody @sses in Amgala I and Amgala II , that you seem to forget..Just google the speech of your past king H2 begging Algeria to leave him Alone after he received the news that brigade that attacked us in Amgala I was decimated in Amgala II..juste in 2000 we released about 2200 of your prisoners soldiers, not counting those 400+ detained by the Polisario..that's reality ...aAnd butthurt, because the M1A1. Don't make me laugh of Algeria being scared of a repainted used junk..that is given to Morocco free, for being an obedient and a servile subject of the West...
