The 34 MiG-29 SMT fighters that were rejected by Algeria will be inducted into the Russian Air Force.
33 jets will be delivered in 2009 and one in 2010.
Russia's United Aircraft Corporation meanwhile added that Russia has not officially terminated the MiG-29 contract.
"We have not officially terminated the contract with Algeria. We are hoping that Russia's Defense Ministry will make a final decision on this matter," said Alexey Fyodorov, the UAC president.
