PanARMENIAN.Net – The efficiency of Armenian air forces allows to
rebuff any attack in case of hostilities, Deputy Director of Aviation
to the Defense ministry of Armenia Armen Lazarian said.

poor armament resources,’ Lazarian told a press conference dated to

Armenian pilots was praised by Russian and foreign experts,’ he added.

not difficult for them to blow pointed strikes.’

which were imported from abroad. Drone interception project is also
being developed,’ he said.
