Russia shipped four Iskander missile systems to Armenia –

PanARMENIAN – Two managers of the Russian military-industrial complex Rosoboronexport confirmed the supply ofIskander complexes to the Armenian Army, Vedomosti reports.

Four missile launchers (with two missile on each) were reportedly shipped to Armenia.

The managers added that Rosoboronexport has nothing to do with the deal: these weapons were purchased on the basis of agreements about arms shipments in the CSTO, bypassing the Russian state intermediarys, they said.

Pictures of Iskander systems passing through the Republic Square in central Yerevan ahead of the Independence Day parade surfaced online, proving that Armenia had indeed acquired the systems.

Armenia thus became the first foreign state to have the missile system.
