ArmInfo.The Iskander operational-tactical missile systems were not used during the April events, since these events did not develop into a full-scale war. The third President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan stated this on August 19 at a press conference.
He stressed that these were precisely large-scale hostilities, but not a large-scale war. <In this case, the use of "Iskander" could be compared with a shot from a cannon at a sparrow. The main purpose of this weapon is to deter the enemy>, he noted. The third President of Armenia stressed that during the April events all the weapons at the disposal of the Armenian army were ready and would be used if necessary.
