Helicopter squadron formed at Russian base in Armenia

It was decided to form a helicopter squadron at the Armenian airfield Erebuni near Yerevan, where the air group of the 102-th Russian military base is deployed.

Formerly armed with our aviation Grouping in Armenia consisted of a squadron of MiG-29 fighters, performing combat missions of air defense in the interests of the united CIS air defense system. With the advent of army aviation here - the Mi-24P, Mi-8MT and Mi-8SMV helicopters - the ability to cover important objects from the air and the operational transfer of units and cargo will only increase. In particular, they plan to use rotary-wing equipment for air support of troops and transportation of soldiers and officers of the Russian military base on the territory of the Republic of Armenia.

The flight and engineering staff of the air base has already passed the medical flight commission and ground training, after which the helicopter pilots began to fly. Now the squadron leadership is engaged in coordinating crews and providing flight training for aviators based on the command of the Air Force and Air Defense in Rostov-on-Don.

The supply of helicopters to the airfield of Erebuni will be held during the year.

Recall that our 102-I military base with the headquarters of the city of Gyumri will remain in the Caucasus, at least until 2044 year. Initially, the army facilities of the Russian Federation “registered” in some regions of the republic under the Russian-Armenian treaty of 1995. The agreement is automatically extended for five-year periods, if one of the parties decides to withdraw the contract.

This is hardly possible. The fact is that Russia and Armenia are part of the CIS Joint Air Defense System and have a joint grouping of the ground forces. In the same Gyumri, Russian C-300 anti-aircraft missile systems are on combat duty, and in the suburbs of Yerevan, the crews of our MiG-29 front-line fighters are constantly ready for takeoff.

Several thousand soldiers and officers who were commanded by the Russian Defense Ministry to Armenia cover our country from the south-west. At the same time, this military group helps to ensure the safety of a friendly state. Therefore, a long stay of the 102 Russian military base in Gyumri is equally beneficial for both Moscow and Yerevan.

            According to the press service of the Defense Army of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, on the night of January 19-20, in the period from 23:50 to 00:15, in the northeastern (Jraberd) and southeastern (Korgan) directions of the Nagorno-Karabakh border Infiltration attempts by sabotage groups of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces were recorded in the Karabakh Republic and Azerbaijan.

            “Advanced units of the NKR Armed Forces detected the actions of Azerbaijani sabotage groups. Having switched to an organized defense in both directions and inflicting significant losses on the enemy, the Armenian soldiers pushed the enemy back to their original positions.

                So who did you fight with? Is it really with the Russians, who instead of the Armenians gave you whatever you wanted from 1991 to 1994? And if so, then why your

      It's not about making someone's life more difficult, it's about protecting our interests.
      There is no reason for us to get involved in the war between Azerbaijan and Armenia.

      Not at all. Everyone knows that Russia supports the Armenians, Azerbaijan borders on Russia and on the other side of the border there are much more and better-quality weapons than in Gyumri. In Ossetia there were just peacekeepers with machine guns, Georgia climbed up Russia’s answer.
      Supporting the aggressor is not news, and even though there won’t be a single soldier there, Russia supports Armenia in every possible way and Baku knows this, so to speak, if anyone doubted, then on 08.08.08/XNUMX/XNUMX the doubts were dispelled.
      One should not be surprised at the antipathy in Azerbaijan towards Russia, or more precisely at the policies it pursues.

    We are strengthening ourselves, growing larger, and all this is clearly for the benefit of the region. But the behavior of the Armenians themselves is alarming.

    Russia is strengthening its Fortpost, the number of boots in the Fortpost has increased, which means there has been more work for locals (cleaning and repairing) during the Soviet era - this work of cleaning and repairing shoes in Baku belonged entirely to the Armenian mafia wassat

    I was in Baku in the summer! Honestly, the attitude towards Russian people is better than in Armenia. I was very pleased with the Republic of Azerbaijan, after visiting Yerevan in 2011 I was left with a very bad aftertaste!!! Although before that he treated Armenians very well! But we need bases not only there...

      What about in the summer? Today, 20/01/2014, we would go to Baku. We would celebrate with them.
      Today, January 20, at exactly 12 o'clock, transport traffic will be stopped in Azerbaijan. Drivers were required to press their horns. The state is in mourning. Exactly 21 years ago, Soviet troops entered Baku and did not allow the residents of the capital of Azerbaijan to complete what they started: to completely destroy the Armenian population of the city.

            The Popular Front needed full power. The leaders deliberately incited pogroms of Armenians and other nationalities. And on January 11, the pogroms began. Hundreds of Armenians, Russians and people of other nationalities were killed.
            Before sending troops into Baku, the PFA bosses had a chance to avoid even more bloodshed.
            They knew about the impending entry of troops into the city. But not one tried to negotiate. Elchibey said: “And in general, the conquest of freedom does not happen without blood. Yes, we know that there will be sacrifices! But these will be sacrifices in the name of freedom! We believe that the more blood is shed, the better the courage and ideology of the nation will be cemented.”

    This is not directed against Azerbaijan; Russia and this republic do not have very good relations, but they cannot be called bad either. You need to live in peace and harmony with your neighbors, which the Armenians do not understand in my opinion. Because of Armenia’s behavior, Russia cannot develop full-fledged relations with Azerbaijan. I apologize for going a little off topic. And of course a squadron is needed there; this area needs to be strengthened especially in the area of ​​events taking place in the Middle East.
