Anyone confirm how many Lynx and Merlins the Algerians have ordered?

[Lynx]

Hi!

The information I got, they ordered 4 Super Lynx Mk 130.

[Freeman Lowell]

Hi Cliom,
The Algerians have order 6 AW101s. These are currently in production or flight testing. The Algerians have requested that Agusta Westland make no comment on the deal.
They are in talks to buy a further 40 AW101 of which 15 could be built in the UK, with the remainder being assembled in Algeria.
