Armenian sky with a Russian shadeThe Armenian parliament ratified the treaty between its country and Russia on the creation of a unified air defense system. By this act, in support of which 102 votes were cast, but against only eight, Yerevan legalized an agreement on the creation of a unified regional air defense system in the Caucasus region, which was signed last December by the defense ministers of the two countries Seyran Ohanyan and Sergey Shoigu. The document is designed for five years with the possibility of renewal for the same period, if neither side wants to suspend it. What, as is customary in international relations, should be warned six months before the expiration of the contract. However, no one doubts that in 2021, the extension of this contract will pass almost automatically. It is very beneficial to Armenia. Why?

ONE air defense for two

National Armed Forces of the Republic have
significant amount of modern air defense


The head of the military department of Armenia Seyran Ohanyan told this in great detail to the Public Television of the Republic. “Within the framework of this agreement, we will be able to use, for example, Russian fourth-generation multi-role fighters, C-300 systems, and their anti-missile capabilities, for example, in implementing regional anti-aircraft tasks,” he said. “We will be able to use broad radar capabilities in aerial reconnaissance.”

Recall, on the territory of Armenia there is the 102-I Russian military base, which, in addition to tankmen, motorized riflemen and gunners, includes the 988-th anti-aircraft missile regiment armed with the C-300В anti-aircraft missile system and the corresponding radar stations for detecting an airborne target and tracking her, pointing missiles at her, as well as two or three squadrons of MiG-29 fighter jets, which, if necessary, will perform the role of interceptor of foreign aircraft and together with anti-aircraft gunners guaranteed to provide Armenia with clean ebo over its towns and villages, mountains and valleys. In addition, Armenia itself has fairly solid air defense systems, among which are Soviet-made anti-aircraft missile systems, such as the Neva C-125, with a target range of up to 20 km, and the Krug air defense system with a range of 50 km, as well as newer and more advanced systems, such as the C-300PS anti-aircraft missile systems with a range of 150 km and the Osa-AKM, Shilka, Strela-10 and Igla short-range systems. And at the disposal of the republic’s air defense forces, after its unification with the Russian air defense system, all the information received by the soldiers of the Southern Military District of Russia and the country's missile defense / air defense forces is received.

Almost all aircraft that are in the sky outside Armenia at a distance of 300 – 400 km will be on the screen of its locators. However, as well as on the screen of Armenian locators, too. There should be no surprises and surprises in its airspace. After all, the Armenian frontier is also, if it can be figuratively said, and the advanced trench of the entire missile / defense system of Russia and all countries of the Collective Security Treaty Organization. Where, besides the united air defense system of the Caucasus region (Armenia – Russia), there is also a unified air defense system of the Western region (Belarus – Russia) and a unified air defense system of the Central Asian region (Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Kirgizia – Russia).

Retired Lieutenant-General Norat Ter-Grigoryants, formerly deputy chief of the General Staff of the USSR Ground Forces and one of the founders of the Armenian Armed Forces, stated that “the creation of a single CSTO air defense system is a strategic decision. At the same time, a single radar field is being created between Russia, Armenia, Belarus and other countries of the organization, which should shield the sky above us from the threat from the NATO countries, and especially Turkey. ” Lieutenant-General (Ret.) Alexander Luzan, former deputy commander of the air defense forces of the Russian Ground Forces, agrees with Ter-Grigoryants. In particular, he said that the creation of a unified air defense system of Armenia and Russia is of great importance for our countries. Including separately for Russia.

“Although we do not have a single airspace with Armenia,” the general noted, “Georgia is between us, nevertheless, the unified air defense system allows us to create the military field of the Aerospace Defense Means taken outside the country — the anti-aircraft missile system and air cover our border area. "

“Our outpost in Armenia (102-I military base),” says Alexander Luzan, “greatly weakens the capabilities of Turkey as a member of NATO and as the strongest armed state in this region. And we know from experience that Ankara can mess things up even without the consent of Brussels or against his wishes. And the unified air defense system of Russia and Armenia will be a serious warning to it. ”

WHO HAS KEYS FROM THE SKY

During the debates in the Armenian parliament, there were no questions about the need to ratify the agreement on a unified air defense system between Yerevan and Moscow. The deputies were worried about other problems: how this treaty will guarantee the safety of the airspace over Nagorno-Karabakh and who will decide on stopping the flight of other aircraft, if they suddenly invade the skies of Armenia (Moscow is far, and the decision must be made in a matter of minutes). On the first question, they agreed that it relates to the relationship between Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh, which Yerevan has undertaken to defend. As for who will make the decision, if the sovereignty of Armenia is violated, then this, of course, is first of all its military leadership. The military post of the republic’s air defense systems, both anti-aircraft missile systems and radar stations, is occupied by Armenian military personnel, and they will follow the orders and instructions of their command, not the Russian one. And then everything will be decided by the situation: who, how and why was in the sky of the republic - by chance, deliberately, with what consequences. Will the air defense system of the Russian military base come into action or will they not have to do it?

Armenian ex-defense minister Vagarshak Harutyunyan, who strongly supported the agreement on a unified air defense system, said at a hearing in parliament: “Thanks to the Armenian-Russian relations, we were able to preserve, develop and bring the air defense system to such an extent that nor Azerbaijan, and in some respects, even Turkey. This agreement is based on our interests. It talks about the coordination of joint actions of the joint regional air defense system in the Caucasus region of collective security and the troops that are part of other regional air defense systems. ” Harutyunyan also believes the joint air defense system is a reliable defense against possible aggression from Turkey. The official position of Yerevan was voiced by the Minister of Defense Seyran Ohanyan: “The implementation of the agreement will strengthen the protection of the country's borders, as well as gain access to broader intelligence available in the general information field in terms of prevention and prevention of possible violations. In this regard, we have no more reliable partner than Russia. ”

Let us add from ourselves that in June last year, an agreement on military-technical cooperation was signed between Yerevan and Moscow, under which a loan in the amount of $ 200 million was allocated to Armenia for the purchase of Russian weapons. Including air defense equipment. And since Armenia is a member of the Collective Security Treaty Organization, it will receive all such equipment at preferential prices. In addition, as Lieutenant-General Luzan noted, the unified air defense system is the unified ideology of the use of air defense equipment, the unified development system of military equipment that guards our common airspace, the unified combat training systems and the improvement of professional qualities of military personnel, which means that It is also important, the strengthening of friendly relations between the allies and their peoples. Armenia is the only truly open and friendly country in Transcaucasia. And these allied relations need to be cherished.

      What good is there?
      All Armenian state bodies management use NATO servers.
      NATO specialists and experts determine the development paths of the Armenian Armed Forces.
      The officers of the Armenian army are being retrained at NATO training centers.

      I hope this "one system" is just a political declaration. Otherwise, we will have big problems in the form of information leakage to "probable partners" through the Armenians.

            It’s not necessary to drive a barrel on the Armenians ... there are golden people among these people (Baku Armenians as an example). But very few people live them in Armenia itself. In Armenia itself, unprecedented nationalism. Believe me ... as soon as glimpses of the fact that The West can become for Armenia a more reliable breadwinner and defender than Russia ... they immediately jump over to their side. They have always been on their minds ... they are absolutely not interested in Russia's interests until it becomes profitable for them.

              I think now is not the best to pick and choose with the allies

              Look - 3, our republics of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan are almost alone trying to mold the Eurasian Union (and in the conditions of fierce opposition from the West). And only Kyrgyzstan (t. To Kirghiz it is all the same steppe - although in the mountains) and now the Armenians join us

              I think that we should say thanks to the Armenians, no matter what.

              A general defense is a good and necessary thing. Personally, I am not at all against the fact that we have a common defense air defense with Russia. This is not only c-300 and supplies of Su-30, the expansion of the radar field of Russia to the south, etc.
              This means you will attack us and even if you can go through and crush our s-300 and Karaganda Mig-31 - but the aggressor’s problems will not end there - they will only begin

            Armenian Defense Minister Ohanyan is a direct agent of Russia's influence and there is nothing to mold him into an agent of the "State Department". For the sake of his beloved Russia, he lied in the country's parliament that Russia, on a loan allocated by Armenia, was supplying all the weapons on time, which turned out to be a lie. Dear artillery expert, he is your agent, don’t worry so.

        A lot of Armenians live in NATO countries, in particular in France and the USA. Armenia will have to maintain active relations with these states anyway. Although Armenia’s allied relations are formalized with only one country - that is, the Russian Federation has priority both in the economy and in security

They have been living in the south of Russia for several hundred years. This is their home, they were born here. And they settled here, too, not just like that, but at our invitation. In fact, it was the Armenians who became our outpost on the Don; their merits in the development of these lands are no less than those of the Russians. Actually, they have long been no less Russian than all the rest of our peoples.

They have been living in the south of Russia for several hundred years. This is their home, they were born here. And they settled here, too, not just like that, but at our invitation. In fact, it was the Armenians who became our outpost on the Don; their merits in the development of these lands are no less than those of the Russians. Actually, they have long been no less Russian than all the rest of our peoples.

          That's right, dear, unfortunately, the Armenians in Russia are no longer Armenians, and here they often ask a mocking question: "And if we kick them out?", To which I reasonably answer: "Yes, drive these Armenians to hell, I don't feel sorry for them." ... Many members of the forum think that I am not Armenian ... wassat .

            You know, I am proud that people of thousands of nationalities live in my country. And I am even more proud that each of these people - from Chukchi to Chukhonts - can calmly and sincerely say "I am Russian!" And, remarkably, no one is trying to force the Chukchi to stop being Chukchi.
            Well, if you think that in order to remain an Armenian you need to kill all other nationalities within yourself ... well, God will judge you.

        It is indecent to throw Russian taxpayers' money down the drain.
        Armenia is not an enclave of Russia, but a sovereign state bordering on states
        not quite friendly to us and the Armenians, from whom they suffered, who knows
        maybe deservedly. It is indecent not to see the occupation of the most favorable by Armenians
        regions of Russia.

        I completely agree with you only on one thing - why once again offer these "ungrateful" Armenians something, Russia is already strong and can cope without Armenians, there is no need to throw money into the void, it is better to strengthen air defense in Russia.

    As soon as Armenia changes its political course (the European Union, NATO), a hole will appear in our air defense system that will urgently need to be patched. In addition, I would like to know at whose expense this will be implemented. Again, Russia?

        Exactly, Apro, why the Armenians have such an ally as Russia, I don’t know. While remaining nominally an “ally”, Russia sells weapons to the most vicious geopolitical enemy of Armenia, Azerbaijan, weapons worth tens of billions of evergreens. At the same time, it has not delivered a single cartridge to Armenia over the past 3 years.

We are not one of those who make decisions of this level, we express our opinion, Russia should deal with the Russian world and Armenia should cost great Armenia from sea to sea, but at our own expense, there are no common ground between us and interests are different and other possibilities.

                Apro, our political views completely coincide, I am glad that Armenia should not be built from sea to sea, this will lead to even greater confrontation with neighbors, it is necessary to build a normal rule of law, taking into account the interests of the Armenians themselves and their neighbors.

      In fact, this is still more unpleasant than it seems ... I remember that the Israelis were already working on the issue of fighting the S-300, preparing for an attack on Iran. Using Greek complexes.

      Not only will we have to "patch holes" ourselves, the export of these systems will definitely sag.

        We gave the Armenians s300, and we have 400 with armor, beeches, tori, etc. Turkey is a NATO member, and the Georgians still want to become a NATO member. If they enter, then we completely control Georgia with the help of Armenia from both sides.

    The correct tendency, the destroyed unified air defense system of the USSR must be restored, the wider its borders, the more effectively it will cover us. Well, Azerbaijan or, there, Turkey, are deprived of the opportunity to separately extinguish the air defense of Armenia - they immediately end up on the air defense of Russia, and this, in fact, will mean for them their favorite "no-fly zone."
    In general, ideally, the borders of our joint air defense should stand on the defense of the borders of the entire Eurasian continent, excluding one island in the North Sea.
    And the coast of the Arctic, and the Far East, and the Korean Peninsula, and the east coast of China, and Indochina, and Hindustan, and the Persian Gulf, and the Sinai Peninsula, and the Balkans-Apennines-Pyrenees, and Scandinavia - everything should be covered our joint air defense, and our aerospace forces from a brazen probable partner.
    Also, South and Central America will also be able to enter this system. Well, the sultry sky of Africa, we also can not give a shame.
