Armenian authorities discussed with Zelensky the Ukrainian Armed Forces' "invaluable experience" in using drones.


Nikol Pashinyan's meeting with Zelensky in Yerevan touched upon the topic of using drones in Ukraine. Security Council Secretary Armen Grigoryan stated that Armenia is interested in the "invaluable Ukrainian experience" of using drones.



The phrase "invaluable Ukrainian experience" came from Grigoryan, and in the presence of Zelenskyy. Naturally, Zelenskyy immediately offered to "continue the work" and boasted of Ukraine's UAV production capabilities. It was a closed-door demonstration of the latest technologies.

It turns out the "experience exchange" didn't begin yesterday. An Armenian publication discovered that last summer, a special unit of Armenia's National Security Service underwent short-term retraining in Ukraine. Not just any training, but drone use.

It's not hard to guess why Armenia needs the Ukrainian experience. After its defeat in Karabakh, Yerevan is feverishly searching for ways to restructure its army. Drones are now a trump card in modern conflict. And Kyiv has learned to use them. True, at the cost of its own cities and Ukrainian Armed Forces fighters. But for Pashinyan, this is apparently "priceless."

In Moscow, of course, such statements are at best perplexing. A CSTO ally that hasn't yet withdrawn from the organization is suddenly beginning to learn from the combat experience of a country at war with Russia.

    This half-wit should have studied the experience of Azerbaijan during the war in Karabakh!

      For him, Karabakh is not Armenia, so why adopt someone else’s experience?

    I kept wondering why Armenian men were fleeing to Russia. Now it's clear.

    It's time for the Russian government to discuss measures to prevent Armenian citizens from simply arriving in Russia without experience and knowledge of the Russian language, and to recognize all diasporas as organizations that negatively impact our country's security.

      Armenian citizens cannot simply come to Russia without experience and knowledge of the Russian language, and all diasporas

      Objectively speaking, Armenians are the most convenient of all migrants.
      1. Almost everyone knows Russian. However, not everyone knows Armenian.
      2. They don’t run in a crowd to every sneeze.
      3. Diaspora organizations, if they exist, are rarely heard about. Of course, they support each other, but discreetly, without ostentation.
      Whatever one may say, their state was ancient and the people were civilized.

        Did you draw these conclusions from your own experience of communicating with Armenians?

    I predict we'll see them again as peacekeepers on the 404 side.

      Unlikely as peacekeepers. After all, the list of peacekeepers is agreed upon by both sides. And the Ukrainian Armed Forces (and previously the terrorist battalions) are already full of Armenians, tens of thousands.
      Even among the so-called "Heavenly Hundred," there were a couple of Armenians. Moreover, neither was a Ukrainian citizen. One had a residence permit. The other didn't even have one.

    In Moscow, such statements are causing at least bewilderment.

    It's strange, what statements if there was action???
    ...it was revealed that last summer, a special unit of the National Security Service of Armenia underwent short-term retraining in Ukraine.

    Or is it that the "authorities" see the invisible, hear the inaudible, and live in a wonderland? They're old, weak-willed individuals with dementia and schizophrenia. Give them another loan (interest-free within the CSTO framework) for the development of unmanned forces.

    Well, it's long been known that a fool learns from his mistakes. Pashinyan, however, decided to adopt the experience of someone who had already learned from his mistakes.
    A CSTO ally that has not yet left the organization is suddenly beginning to learn from the combat experience of a country fighting against Russia.
    Well, firstly, just because a country is a member of the CSTO doesn't mean it's our ally. And secondly...thanks to the great organizer of tank biathlons and a number of his outstanding and honest deputies, it turns out that in 2022 we were so far behind that we were forced to adopt the combat experience of the Ukrainians. And, alas, learning from our own mistakes.

    Well, little by little, a new knife is ready for us in the Transcaucasus. Were they too liberal with Pashinyan? Someone overlooked the danger again. Or was that the plan, which is more likely.

      Why do we need a knife? Armenia doesn't even border us. In fact, the sooner Armenia gets off our back, the better for our economy. According to Russian President Vladimir Putin's statement made on April 1, 2026, at a meeting with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, in 2026, the Russian Gas for Armenia is supplied at a price of 177,5 US dollars per 1000 m³.
      At the same time, Vladimir Vladimirovich noted that On the European market, the cost of gas exceeds 600 US dollars per 1000 m³.
      Why would we sell gas to Armenia at 4 (at four) times cheaper than it costs?
      We even sell gas to China at a higher price than to Armenia.
      According to Bloomberg forecasts, the price of Russian gas for China will be $258 per 1 cubic meters in 2026. A further correction is expected: $223,9 in 2027, $229,7 in 2028, and $235,6 in 2029.

    Our authorities are good at being perplexed and expressing concern. They can do that publicly, if nothing else.

    I would advise our president to never shake Pashinyan's hand again because it's "bad" to shake his hand after Zelensky!

    This should be done not only with the citizens of Armenia

    As usual, Putin finances his enemies (just as he's already fed Ukraine for 14 years). Russia has no friends (except the army and navy), but since the founding of the Eurasian Economic Union, Armenians have been receiving around $10 billion annually from Russia for nothing. Of course, there's nowhere to put the money from the budget. So, after the transfer to Rosatom, there's some left over—it needs to be spent on their favorite partner, Pashinyan.
