ArmInfo.India sends a military attach‚ to Armenia. The RTI agency reported this with reference to its sources.

"This is the first time that a military attache has been specifically  appointed to Armenia," the source emphasized, adding that the  emphasis is on the state with which India is developing  military-technical cooperation.

He recalled that New Delhi has already agreed with Yerevan on the  supply of Pinaka launchers, the Akash short-range anti-aircraft  missile system and other weapons.

Earlier it was reported that India will supply Armenia with a batch  of weapons and ammunition worth 20 billion rupees ($244.7 million).  Deliveries will be carried out on the basis of contracts signed by  the two countries in early September last year. In accordance with  them, India will supply Armenia with Pinaka multiple launch rocket  systems (MLRS) of its own design, which will be sold abroad for the  first time, as well as anti-tank missiles and a batch of ammunition.

In 2020, India supplied four Swathi artillery reconnaissance systems  to Armenia.
