Defense analyst Saurav Jha says, ‘India should equip Armenia with deadly weapons. There is a high probability that the campaign of Azerbaijan, Turkey and Pakistan against Armenia will not be limited only to Nagorno-Karabakh. It can reach in a very bad condition. Sourav says that India had supplied Swati weapon search radar to Armenia. Armenia is now being given Pinaka multi-barrel rocket systems and truck-borne howitzers. In the coming times, more deadly weapons can be supplied from India.
India is giving ammunition to Armenia with Pinaka
Actually, the arms deal between India and Armenia is progressing very fast. India and Armenia have recently signed a deal for $155 million worth of guns. Experts say that this shows India’s commitment to continue defense assistance to Armenia despite Azerbaijan’s objection. India is supplying Pinaka rocket systems, anti-tank shells and various types of lethal ammunition to Armenia. Thus, Armenia has become the first international customer of Pinaka made in India.
On one hand, where Turkey is supplying deadly weapons ranging from drones to the army of Azerbaijan, India has now openly stood with Armenia. This is going to give a befitting reply to the nefarious moves of Azerbaijan, Turkey and Pakistan against Armenia. Last year India’s Foreign Minister S Jaishankar had visited Armenia. India is not only strengthening its relations with Armenia, but is also strengthening its friendship with Greece. Turkey has an old dispute with Greece and both the armies often come face to face.
Indo-Greece friendship will increase Erdogan’s tension
Greece is pushing for a security alliance with India to counter the growing friendship between nuclear-armed Pakistan and Turkey. Turkey has bought S-400 system from Russia due to which Greece is in tension. In response, Greece is buying Rafale fighter jets from France, which India also uses. India can share its experiences with Greece with S-400, this will help it to deal with Turkish threat.
