Some fresh news about Russian PAK-FA / T-50, but the interesting part is at the end of the article where Algeria is being mentioned regarding exports.
Quote:
Pukhov believes that preemptive tactics should be pursued now by not only developing the T-50 with our strategic partner in military-technical cooperation, India, under the Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft (FGFA) Program, but also by offering the fighter to Algeria and Vietnam. The two countries have pursued independent military-technical policies and can afford up-to-date armament. The T-50’s development and production costs may be slashed through exporting the type, according to the Izvestia daily.

This is going to take a while though, but there should be good chances for Algeria to get these in 2020s. The sooner, the better - even with present engine would be fine. Maybe this should be a priority in addition to those Su-30MKA and Su-32 (Su-34) which will be commitioned into the Algerian Air Force in the nearest future.
I hope J-31 might also be an interesting option together with T-50. Both T-50 and J-31 would be high-end with Su-30MKA and Su-32, while MiG-29 / MiG-25 and Su-24 would be phased out.
One should also consider additional aircraft for mid / lower tasks or order more Yak-130 trainers - and of course S-400 SAMs.
These things are usually built fast and doesn't take ages to get delivered, like those Tigr-class ships Algeria has been waiting for since 2011. Will they even be delivered at all ?
