PanARMENIAN.Net - Azerbaijan plans to replace Kalashnikov (AK) with
Israeli Tavor to build on its territory a plant producing these
weapons.
In the post- Soviet states, special forces of Azerbaijan and Georgia
are armed with Tavor- a model of the modern Israeli 5.56mm assault
rifle, manufactured by concern Israel Military Industries.
Earlier, Israeli concern Aviation Industry has signed a contract with
Azerbaijan for the supply of a few tens of unmanned aerial vehicles.
Azerbaijan has also agreed with Israel to purchase arms worth USD
1.6bn.
According to The Jerusalem Post, the supply of arms to Azerbaijan
will be conducted by state-owned Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI).
In April 2011, it was reported that IAI plans to sell reconnaissance
drones Heron and Searcher Mk.2 to Azerbaijan. By assumption of
Flightglobal, the Azerbaijani military could use them, in addition
to purely military tasks, to monitor gas and oil pipelines, ANN.Az
