Political analyst on Russia's plans to reinforce its base in Armenia with helicopters
The Russian Defense Ministry today announced that Russia has reinforced its military base in Armenia with attack and transport helicopters. Six modern attack Mi-24P and transport Mi-8MT helicopters from the Army’s aviation have been delivered to the Armenian military base [in Erebuni] from a military airbase in the Krasnodar region. Talking to A1+, political analyst Sergey Minasyan said Russia planned to do it long ago. “Russia planned to send 18 helicopters to Armenia still in 2013. I understand that many would try to account it for the Russian-Turkish conflict, but it is not so. It is pure coincidence,” the political analyst said.
