Are you a fascist? Usually Dashnaks criticize him while sane individuals in Armenia acknowledge the reality of the country and therefore seek a new modus vivendi with Turkiye.

Lol no,I'm not a "fascist". It's Turks who like him,because he is a traitor and extremely eager to give land and cooperate with Turkey and Azerbaijan against Armenian interests. Only his followers like him. The rest of Armenians hate him. Many who supported him in 2018 are now against him.

He's the favorite boy of Turkish and Azeri politicians now.

Armenia eyes Akash missile, loitering munitions from India amid conflict with Azerbaijan​

Gandhinagar: Amidst the ongoing tensions with its rival Azerbaijan, Armenia is eyeing more defence deals with India including possible procurement of drones and loitering munitions, besides mid-range surface-to-air missile (SAM) system like the Akash.

Deeper defence cooperation was the focus of the bilateral meeting between Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and his Armenian counterpart Suren Papikyan held here on the sidelines of DefExpo 2022 in Gandhinagar Tuesday.

The meeting comes just weeks after the two countries entered into a government-to-government contract for the sale of indigenous Pinaka multi-barrel rocket launchers, Konkurs anti-tank guides missile and a wide variety of ammunition including 80-mm mortars.

Sources in the government remained tight-lipped about what transpired during the bilateral meeting with the Armenian minister but maintained that “defence cooperation was the focus”.

The Centre has been wary of speaking on the defence cooperation with Armenia because of the ongoing tensions with Azerbaijan, a country that Turkey and Pakistan support.

However, sources told that Armenia has been considering the possible procurement of the indigenous Akash air defence systems.

It is also looking at arming itself with loitering munitions developed in India by private companies like Tata Advanced Systems Limited (TASL) and Solar Industries.

As reported by ThePrint earlier, Azerbaijan is seen by many as part of an emerging axis with Turkey and Pakistan. It has used Turkish drones to fight the war against Armenia and is also in talks with Pakistan to buy the JF-17 fighter aircraft.

The ex-Soviet republic bought four indigenous Swathi weapons locating radars in 2020 from India which was delivered in the backdrop of its conflict with Azerbaijan.

The sale of Pinaka rockets was the first international order for the indigenous system and will also be the first for Akash missile system if contracted for.

India is looking at its highest-ever defence exports this fiscal with sales touching Rs 8,000 crore in the first six months as the Narendra Modi government tries to shed its import dependence in the critical sector.

The country’s defence exports touched a record Rs 13,000 crore in 2021-2022 fiscal, which was nearly eight times of what it was in 2014.

In 2020, the Modi government had set a target of Rs 35,000 crore (USD 5 billion) in the export of aerospace, and defence goods and services for the next five years.

This is meant to be part of the Rs 1.75 lakh crore (USD 25 billion) turnover in defence manufacturing by 2025 that the government is aiming to achieve.

USA is likely funding the purchase on Armenian behalf.

155 million should mean around 60-70 guns. Enough for 3 regiments.

Non conflict zone is mentioned by the firm, most likely Saudi Arabia.

Even Saudia is engaged in Yemen.

They should have gone for Chinese UCAVs,but Pashinyan's government is corrupt and traitorous.

Though they are not coming to China but I think WL-1E is a good choice for Armenian, heavily modified WL-1 with intensively use of composite materials.

Perhaps Armenia is looking for a cheaper drone in the lines of TB-2.

DRDO has been working on a cheaper armed version of Rustom 1

Why funding? They can give 155 million. It's not crazy money in defence budget terms.
