    Ukraine and Azerbaijan recently embarked on military cooperation
    with Ukraine supplying arms to Azerbaijan and helping to maintain
    and repair military equipment. Azerbaijan is currently interested in
    anti-aircraft equipment as well as the Ukrainian AN type planes.

    Belarusian newspaper Narodnaia Gazeta reports that Azerbaijan is the
    only country among the 30 counties who signed the conventional arms
    treaty to exceed the agreed limits on tanks and artillery. The country
    has also increased its 2011 military budget up to USD 3 billion.

    According to the conventional arms treaty Azerbaijan is allowed to
    have up to 220 tanks, 220 armed vehicles and 285 artillery systems.

    Armenian sources report that Azerbaijan has almost twice as many tanks
    and armed vehicles as well as artillery systems and that the country
    is constantly increasing its armament and modernising its equipment.
