      Newspaper: Armenia to receive tactical ballistic missile systems from Russia

      YEREVAN. – The National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia (RA) on Thursday will convene a special session, during which it will discuss the agreement signed between the governments of Armenia and Russia, and with respect to Russia’s providing a soft loan of US$200 million to Armenia and wherewith Russia will supply modern weapons to the RA Armed Forces, reported Zhamanak daily.

      “According to our source close to the RPA [i.e. the ruling Republican Party of Armenia], within the framework of this amount, the RA could receive the well-known Iskander-M operational tactical [ballistic] missile systems, which are considered one of the best developments of the Russian missile building and it has a quite high technical characteristics.

      “There may be several explanations as to why the Russians would want the RA to be armed with the Iskander-M systems,” wrote Zhamanak.

        It could be even 500 million, doesn't change my point.

        The reaction is also illogical for the reason that Azerbaijan is also going to make arms acquisitions at the same time, on top of previous ones for the past few years. My point is, you could say that this would perhaps add some capabilities to Armenian army, but to talk of it in such way as if it's going to "balance the forces", that's where it becomes a bit illogical.

        But like said this is the purpose of all this, it doesn't matter if it's enough or not.
        Just curious if the iskander purchase is true could u show me what you guys can buy to counter it?
        And again we pay however much it costs to produce the systems or arms. Lets presume it's a half billion dollar purchase. Thats equal to about a billion dollar purchase if u guys were buying. Add our topographical advantage it's not like this is insignificant. Also it not hard to save money over time. 60 mil over 5 years would be 300mil. Not impossible.

          What can I say, you guys can keep on doing what you always do here.
          Lol so you're saying because im not accepting your opinion that the purchase is insignificant, im automatically being unreasonable.
          How bout this, lets just accept that you think the purchase is insignificant and that i think it's significant. Salam

            And you guys don't seem grasp the limitations of the amount mentioned, it would be good for parade purposes perhaps.


            This is a milestone for our military, from this point forward only money is the limitation from obtaining more of these modern weapons.

              These agreements for discounted weapons have been around for years. Money has always been the limitation on purchasing more equipment and weapons. What we need is more money coming into the government and no "leakage".(less leakage)

Also reduced prices doesn't exactly mean half the price, perhaps one could speculate a one-third reduction.
                Im not sure how much you think the iskander costs but i dont think it would cost more than 75 mil for 4 launchers, ammo and other related equipment. Looking at some internet info some people say it costs a million for each missile. Couldn't imagine each launcher with ammo costing more than 20 mil each. And 4 lanchers would mean 8 missile salvos. Enough to go after azeri ABM radars.

                I agree tho the amount being spent is small on the world scale. Don't mater to me. If the iskandars have been bought you can count on azeri radars being targeted. If they get taken out how do you stop the scuds? The iskandar system could affect the balance.

                    HAHAH this is beyond funny.

                      We understand the simple arithmetic you've displayed to us. Let's see if I got everything you said ... Tatar turcs buy much more weapons so their going to win. I think everyone got it.
                      Your majority in weapons/troops last time didn't work and it ain't gonna work this time.
                      You can keep talking and buying more weapons.
                      We are ready now and are becoming more capable by the day.
                      You came to the region you occupy as murderers and thieves, and if you start another war, we are going to kill you for that.
