Armenia
YEREVAN. - Operational-tactical missile complexes 9K72 or Scud
presented at the military parade in Yerevan, can seriously affect the
level of regional security, the expert of Caucasus Institute Sergey
Minasyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.
Scud complexes are modernized in Armenia, which significantly increases
their combat capabilities. The history of these systems goes back to
1960 - 1970s but in Armenia they have been upgraded with modern air
defenses. The mere fact that their minimum effective range is 300 km
can seriously affect the security in the region," said the expert.
He mentioned that missiles Tochka U presented at the parade have
perfect performance to hit the enemy targets.
"They also announced that the armament was updated with new heavy
salvo complexes SMERCH and Hurricane. The latter can also seriously
affect the regional balance of power. Production of unmanned aircrafts
in Armenia is put on a firm basis, which is a strong incentive as it
accurately directs the missile onto the enemy target," said Minasyan.
According to him, the Azerbaijani side responds cautiously both to
the parade and the presented arms.
"For a long time, their argument was the distance war against Armenia,
since they commanded better weaponry. Complexes Tocka and Scud restore
the balance," summed up the expert.
