ArmInfo. The fact that Russia supplies armaments and military equipment to Armenia levels Azerbaijan's quantitative superiority. This was stated on December 1  at the meeting of the Lazarev Club in Yerevan by Deputy Director of  the Institute of CIS Countries Vladimir Evseev.

He noted that a special place in the supply of weapons is occupied by  the Iskander short-range ballistic missile systems and multiple  launch rocket systems. Evseyev stressed that today Azerbaijan is in  search of suppliers of military equipment, which by its  characteristics would be equivalent  to the capabilities of  "Iskander". "That is why Azerbaijan bought the installation of the  Polonez MLRS from Belarus. However, I want to note that this  installation is still inferior to Iskander. Azerbaijan buys drones  from Israel, and Armenia has acquired electronic warfare from  Russia," the expert said.

Evseev also said that Azerbaijan still does not abandon its attempts  to again achieve qualitative superiority.  "In the event that  Azerbaijan nevertheless succeeds in achieving a qualitative  superiority again, it can push them to force actions. In addition, I  want to emphasize that in the current situation, any change in the  line of contact is very dangerous for Armenia and Artsakh. The thing  is that "security zone" located around Karabakh is a good defense for  the territory of this republic. Any change of the border can lead to  the loss of not only the security zone, but also the entire Karabakh,  "the expert stressed.

In this regard, Evseev stressed the importance of Armenian-Russian  cooperation, which is the guarantor of Armenia's security against  possible aggression from Turkey and Azerbaijan, "Evseev concluded.
