Azerbaijan, watch out. :cool:


Armenian parliament will hold an extraordinary session today.
Armenia may get Russia's cutting-edge missile complexes 'Iskander M' that are considered one of the best Russian inventions with quite high technical characteristics.
According to Oxu.Az, the statement came from Zhamanak newspaper, citing a source close to the ruling Republican party of Armenia.
The edition reminds that the parliamentary session will consider the ratification of the Russian-Armenian agreement on allocation to Armenia of a preferential loan worth USD 200mln for provision of Armenian armed forces with cutting-edge Russian weapon.
The newspaper says that 'Russia's intention to arm Armenia with missile complexes Iskander M may have a number of motivations".

Wahoo. Their operational range is 500km. I ask myself that is from Armenia, they might be able to target ISIS in the north of Irak.

Anyway Armenia is a strategical place for thoses kind of missiles. Georgia is now treat by the north and the south, Turkey and Azerbaidjan can be reach in a very easy way.
And even Iran can be target if some hostile units are in the region.
