The Armenian armed forces are capable of launching missile attacks
against a potential enemy within a range of 300 kilometers and more,
according to a senior military official in Yerevan.
Head of the Operative Department of the General Headquarters of the
Armenian Armed Forces, Major-General Artak Davtyan said at a press
conference on Monday that scenarios of missile attacks were applied
during the recent strategic command and staff exercises that involved
up to 45,000 military servicemen, including NKR Defense Army
subdivisions.
Reservists had also been called up for the drills that were conducted
across Armenia on October 1-13.
Davtyan said that the simulation included aiming missiles at the
`conventional' rival's military facilities and economic
infrastructure.
Meanwhile, Defense Minister spokesperson Artsrun Hovhannisyan
confirmed to the media information according to which Armenia has also
tested its S-300 anti-aircraft missile system.
Hovhannisyan said the stock of the arms and military equipment of the
Armenian Armed Forces including anti-aircraft defense systems was
being constantly updated, reported Mediamax.
Major-General Davtyan, in his turn, said that the Armenian side was
closely watching the military purchases by Azerbaijan. He particularly
emphasized the new antitank weapons designed to fight the
next-generation armor that were tested during the recent exercises in
Armenia.
