Armenian Defense Ministry delegation headed by Minister Suren Papikyan has left for India on a working visit, the press service of the Armenian Defense Ministry reported.
About three weeks ago, India's The Economic Times reported that India signed a $250 million worth export order for missiles, rockets and ammunition to Armenia. The order includes the first-ever export of the indigenous Pinaka multi-barrel rocket launchers that are already in service with the Indian Army.
The potent weapon has been designed by the Defence Research and Development Organization and is manufactured by private sector companies in India.
India will also supply anti-tank rockets as well as a range of ammunition to Armenia under the bundled deal. This is not the first time that weapon systems have been exported to Armenia. In 2020, India beat competitors from the region to supply four Swathi radars, ARKA reports.
