Olivier Decottignies: France is providing Armenia military gear everyone’s desperate to get

France has a military gear everyone’s desperate to get—and France is providing it to Armenia. French Ambassador to Armenia Olivier Decottignies wrote this on Twitter. And attached to this post, the French diplomat posted an article about the radars of the French company Thales, including the Ground Master 200, three of which were sold to Armenia.

The Ground Master 200 (GM200) is a medium range AESA 3D radar manufactured by Thales Group, based in Limours, France. They’re designed to detect air threats and identify jet fighters, missiles and helicopters. They also have new capabilities allowing them to distinguish drones from birds.

In the past months, Paris sold three GM 200s to Armenia.
