due to US international traffic in arms regulations (ITAR), sensors like the DB-110 tactical dual band day/night reconnaissance system, an exportable version of the U-2’s SYERS system, have to be downgraded “at added cost to the Algerian Air Force.”

There’s no robust electronic counter measures (ECM) either, just peacetime functions
