Can't the Russians just build a new radar station in Armenia instead of spending $300 million to lease it? lol

Commander of the Army described the receipt of equipment in 2012


Land Forces of Russia in 2012 will receive more than two thousand units of various military armored vehicles. This, according to RIA Novosti , said Commander of Land Forces , Alexander Postnikov . He said the military should get the BTR-82A, special armored fire trucks, recovery vehicles and armored cars. To date, said Postnikov, an overhaul of the BTR-80 and T-72.
Earlier it was reported that last year the troops were put over ten thousand units of armored vehicles and automotive equipment, as well as about two thousand units of vehicles of communication. In particular, the forces of radiation, chemical and biological defense got heavy flamethrower system TOS-1A and reconnaissance vehicles Rahm-6. In engineering units were assigned new tug-boats and motor truck cranes. The military also had 30 multiple launch rocket systems "Tornado-G."

In mid-February 2012 the Chief of General Staff of Russian Armed Forces Nikolai Makarov said the Defense Ministry for five years, suspended the purchase of armored vehicles for the Army, relegating this period designers to develop new types of military equipment. Later, Vice-Premier of Russia , Dmitry Rogozin , who oversees the military-industrial complex, announced that the purchase of equipment will be continued in the volumes of the planned state program of armaments.

February 19, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin in his article "Russian newspaper", wrote that the 2020 Russian forces, among others, will be about two thousand self-propelled artillery systems and tools, and more than 17,000 vehicles and 2,3 thousand tanks .

The great king of Eurasia is back!



....and his enemies worldwide are taking note. Amidst the literally thousands of misleading or downright nasty news coverage of Vladimir Putin's presidential bid by the Western press, the three articles following the Russia Today report were found to be somewhat of an exception. Despite their standard Western style political spin and negativity, the news reports from ArmeniaNow, New York Times and BBC reluctantly admitted the not so convenient obvious. ArmeniaNow reluctantly states that Russian-Armenians will be supporting Putin en-mass. Despite all the snide comments and political spin, the New York Times reluctantly admits that Putin enjoys grassroots support inside Russia. And while desperately trying to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the voting process and Putin's real popularity amongst Russian's, BBC nevertheless admits that exist polls indicated an astounding 60% percent of the votes went to Putin.

When I looked at Putin's eyes, I saw tears for his nation -

“This was more than just a presidential election. This was a very important test for us – a test for the political maturity of our people and independence. We have demonstrated that nobody can impose anything on us. We have shown that our people are capable of telling the difference between the desire for novelty and progress, and political provocations that press for only one goal: to destroy Russia. Today our people have proven that such scenarios are not going to work in our country,” Putin said.

I wish for the day to come Armenians will be politically mature enough.

I think Levon's popularity has gone down, especially when people saw Serzh fulfil his demands, but Levon still continue crying like a baby. In all, Serzh Sargsyan has been a strong and effective President and a patriot, he should get reelected, unless if Kocharian comes back then it may become more complicated.
