The Armenian Time reported that yesterday the Azerbaijani APA Agency
reported referring to Uralvagonzabod Concern that Russia will supply
armored vehicle-launched bridges to Azerbaijan. Number of units and
amount of the transaction are not mentioned.
"This information which seems quite innocent at first sight should
cause concerns," the newspaper states. These armored bridges are
intended for peaceful technical work but they are intended for building
bridges across rivers and gorges in a very little time.
However, these are offensive weapons according to the international
defense classification due to their main functions. Bridge tanks
are irreplaceable when there are rivers and gorges on the way of
armed forces which cannot be overcome by heavy machines. Later they
are used to supply arms and other supplies to armed forces. Armored
vehicle-launched bridges are applicable to cut terrain, such as the
Armenian-Azerbaijani line of contact, the newspaper writes.
"Hence, this machinery is not "innocent" at all. Of course, it needs
to be discussed whether this machinery will be helpful to Azerbaijan
or not. More importantly, however, Armenia's strategic partner Russia
is supplying clearly offensive weapons to Azerbaijan with enviable
intensity.
Just a month ago the head of the Russian Federal Service of Defense
Industry Cooperation Constantine Biryulin announced that Russia has
finished supply of 100 T90 tanks to Azerbaijan and is going to supply
another 100 tanks. But this is not all."
