Armenia has no proper airforce they have no navy and Turkey will protect it from any Iranian agression so why do they spend that much money on radars or air defence missile systems?

They can succesfully defend themselves from their enemies only with a strong landforce, priority should be to invest all funds to landforces instead imo.

28 May, Republic Day.

Cəfər Cabbarlı, 1919.

Bu ay, yıldız, boyaların qurultayı nə demək?
Bizcə böylə söyləmək!

Bu göy boya - Göy Moğoldan qalmış bir Türk nişanı,
Bir Türk oğlu olmalı!

Yaşıl boya İslamlığın sarsılmayan imanı,
Ürəklərə dolmalı!

Şu al boya azadlığın, təcəddüdün fərmanı,
Mədəniyyət bulmalı.

Səkkiz uclu şu yulduz da səkkiz hərfli Od yurdu
Əsarətin gecəsindən fürsət bulmuş quş kibi,
Səhərlərə uçmuşdur.

Şu hilal da Türk bilgisi, düzgün sevgi nişanı,
Yurdumuzu qucmuşdur!

When has Turkey given any indication that they are prepared to defend Azerbaijan from Iran. What, that "air show" they did several years ago? Yeah right. Even if it did, Iran can do some real damage in a short amount of time. Do you know how fast Iranian missiles can reach Baku?

(Just a digression, and idk but Ir.Tab. might confirm this, doesn't presidential candidate Hassan Rouhani view Azerbaijan as a hostile state? He's a favorite in the upcoming elects as far as I know...)

Azerbaijan should spend a lot on its navy, so as to protect its Caspian oil interests (without which economy will suffer). Azerbaijan experiences threats from both Iran and Turkmenistan in this area.

As for air-defence, and this is speculation, I think it may be towards Russia as well. Azerbaijan has purchased the PMU2 Favorit system, which even the Russians will have a hard time getting around.
