ArmInfo.France has military equipment that everyone desperately wants, but it supplies it to Armenia! French Ambassador to Armenia Olivier Decottignies wrote on his X account, sharing the Politico material on French defense supplies.
Politico reports that France's leading defense company is ramping up production to meet huge global demand. In particular, the company plans to double production of one of the best-selling military equipment in France - Ground Master air surveillance radars.
Agreements on the supply of weapons by France to Armenia were reached in October 2023 in Paris at a meeting of the head of the French military department, Sebastien Lecornu, with the Minister of Defense of the Republic of Armenia Suren Papikyan.
France supplied Armenia with GM200 radars from Thales, Bastion-type armored vehicles produced by the French company Arquus, and there was talk of supplying MISTRAL 3 anti-aircraft missile systems.
