YEREVAN, MARCH 16, ARMENPRESS. The International Institute for
Strategic Studies (IISS) in London made an annual report called "The
Military Balance 2013" on the defense potential of more than 160
countries. The report contained information about Armenia's and
Azerbaijani military potential too.
As reports "Armenpress" the authors of the report gave the preference
to Armenia in the comparison of the combat readiness of the two
states.
Among other things it was mentioned that in the Armenian army reforms
take place faster, than in the Azerbaijani army. The experts reflected
on the opportunities of the Azerbaijani army critically. It is
mentioned in the report that despite buying a lot of weapons at the
expense of the incomes from oil the Azerbaijani military forces
definitely don't have advantages in the air space over Armenia's air
forces, which can be a serious risk factor in case of starting
military actions. The report also tells that oil has given Azerbaijan
a chance to buy C-300 rackets, but it is still uncertain what it has
given to Baku from the point of increasing safety.
