Armenia will soon become the world's most densely packed place when it
comes to the quantity of the air defense systems, particularly S-300
missile systems, Sergey Minasyan, the deputy head of the Caucasus
Institute, told ArmInfo.
The quantity of Armenia's Russian-made air defense systems will be
increased under the Agreement on the establishment of the United
Regional Air Defense System in the Caucasus region of the CSTO that
was signed by the Armenian and Russian defense minister in late 2015.
In addition, Minasyan said, yet in 2015, there were reports saying that
five more divisions of S-300 anti- tank systems will be transferred
to Armenia's Armed Forces without compensation. The given missile
systems will be repaired and modernized in Armenia.
The expert said 3-4 divisions of S-300PT missile systems and at
least 2-3 divisions of mobile S-300PS anti- aircraft systems that
were modernized in Armenia are on the balance of Armenia's Air
Defense Force.
"Some military experts say that Armenia's Air Defense has also other
missile systems, including modernized Pechora-2M, old S-125 systems.
After the supply of the above S-300 anti-aircraft systems, Armenia's
Air Defense will become the most powerful in the region," Minasyan
said.
