Mais comme M. Lecornu l'a souligné, « la détection n'a de sens que si elle s'accompagne de modules d'intervention et d'interception des attaques qui viendraient du ciel », une lettre d'intention a été signée pour livrer à Erevan – et dans un premier temps – des missiles sol-air Mistral 3.
L'Arménie a signé récemment une commande portant sur trois radars GM200 auprès de Thales et il est question d'une livraison de missiles sol-air MISTRAL 3.
In a recent interview, Bharat Forge chairman Baba Kalyani stated that they have already exported six ATAGS howitzers and an additional six "will go this month"...
La commande arménienne porte sur 36 canons, a confié une source.
Cette commande arménienne concernerait 36 canons.
l'Armenie a acheté 36 canons CAESAR à la France, qui doit les livrer dans les 15 prochains mois.
