The US has supplied Armenia with MQ-35A V-BAT drones to "keep the peace" with Azerbaijan.

Armenia received American intelligence Drones Shield AI MQ-35A V-BAT, on sale of a batch drones announced US Vice President J.D. Vance, who is visiting Yerevan.

The United States is establishing military-technical cooperation with Armenia, offering it "the world's best" technologies, according to Vance's statement at a joint press conference with Pashinyan. One of these "technologies" apparently includes the V-BAT UAVs that Yerevan received. The number of drones transferred was not disclosed, but the shipment is valued at $11 million. As the US Vice President emphasized, the deal is aimed at strengthening Armenia's security and ensuring a "strong and lasting peace" between Armenia and Azerbaijan.



The best way to ensure peace is to create real deterrence, and the best way to create deterrence is to possess the world's best military technology. Washington possesses such technology and intends to develop defense cooperation with Yerevan.



The Shield AI MQ-35A V-BAT is a vertical takeoff and landing reconnaissance drone with artificial intelligence (AI) features. It was used by Ukrainian forces in the Northern Military District (NVO), but was not widely deployed.

        They understand this in the US too, but they profit from the dispute; they need to sow discord, plant hatred and direct it at us.

        Leave: this is a dispute between Caucasians,

        This is not entirely a matter of common ground - the American-Caucasian Zangezur Prosperity Corridor will then become a strategic dead end for the Russian Federation if left...
        In general, there are successes everywhere in the Russian Federation - Ukraine, the South Caucasus, Central Asia
        The Russian-Arab summit that Moscow tried to organize was ignored by the Arabs, etc.

    Yeah, yeah, put it in the room and blow away the dust, otherwise, God forbid, Azerbaijan will think something and another piece of land will go to the "peace agreements".

    The Americans have ALREADY settled there...why do you think in
    There are more than 2000 people at the US Embassy in Yerevan, while in Moscow there were a maximum of 700?
    Yes, because on 3 млн USAID and Soros money was found for Armenians hundreds of NGOs..
    And then they pulled out journalist Pashinyan, successfully sold out Nagorno-Karabakh,
    They blamed Russia for this, Russia, even though they themselves didn't recognize Artsakh, they dragged the CSTO into it, even though no one attacked Armenia itself, and off it went... (Russian Vanya was supposed to defend Artsakh for them...)
    The US goal is to finally separate Armenia from Russia and create a point of tension in the Transcaucasus.

        It may not be necessary, but there, the American-Caucasian Zangezur corridor of prosperity named after Trump is a direct route to Central Asia, and this is a strategically catastrophic situation for Russia... Their Armenian foreign minister recently stated that he does not see Russia's participation in the creation of this route...

    If you want peace, prepare for war without any disarmament. Azerbaijan followed this ancient rule and won back its own. If the Armenian army had been at its best, I don't think they would have risked their luck.

    "Sow what is reasonable, good, eternal, sow! The heart will thank you Russian Armenian people…»
    The prudent solution for Russia is to leave ungrateful Armenia to the ungrateful Armenians who were not touched by the genocide in 1915:
    The Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire in 1915 is one of the most terrible tragedies in human history. The mass extermination and deportation left a profound mark not only on the subsequent history of the Armenian people but also on their national identity.

    Wait for the Americans, they will definitely bring you a bag of goodness...

      It would also be great to bring back the ungrateful Armenians from Russia to Armenia (and the Azerbaijanis, by the way, too).

        hi All that is needed for this is the bare minimum: the agreement of Russian officials of various ranks to renounce the lining of their own wallets and selfish interests.

        Surprisingly, Russia now has the lowest number of migrants in 20 years. Armenians fly to Europe, just like Georgians. Azerbaijanis go to Turkey, where the minimum wage is the same as the average Russian salary. And those who live in Russia have long been Russian citizens, if not from birth. Their citizenship cannot be revoked; they violate the constitution.

    Now let's wait and see what they deliver to Azerbaijan—to "keep the peace" with Armenia. Separating, pitting, and profiting from this is the US's signature style.
    How can anyone still trust these scoundrels?

    Soon Armenia and Azerbaijan will be inseparable, like Poles and Ukrainians.

    The glue that will bind them together will be hatred of Russia, devoid of any common sense, but generously sponsored by Western bigwigs.
