Armenia’s high-tech ministry licenses a space industry company specializing in geospatial analysis
Geospatial analytics is a form of computational analysis that leverages geographic information, spatial data, location data, and increasingly, high-resolution imagery, computer vision, and other forms of AI to extract structured data that can be used for specific applications and industries
Armenian-owned Kartes Analytica, founded in 2022 with offices in Armenia and the US, has received a license to carry out space-related activities. Its Director Babken Ter-Grigoryan invites the academia and other space players to collaborate and develop strategies "to transform Armenia’s national space industry".
HIGH-TECH MINISTER: This is a turning point in the development of Armenia’s space industry. By allowing private companies to actively engage in space activities, we foster innovation and attract investments.
India has upgraded the ATAGS artillery systems for Armenia
Armenia has purchased around 90 units of 155 mm/52 ATAGS artillery from India, most of which likely have not been delivered yet.
Indian Defense Research Wing writes that the artillery systems have been upgraded by manufacturer Bharat Forge to be "more convenient".
They installed ballistic computers with a simplified and Armenian language interface to minimize training time and the likelihood of errors during calculations.
The ballistic computers also integrate with Armenia’s land navigation systems for more precise targeting.
In the future, they could be configured to connect to Armenia’s satellite for target identification.

Armenian authorities discover $500,000 worth of cocaine in a parcel sent from the U.S.: VIDEO
It was mixed with clothing.
INVESTIGATORS: The suspect offered $2,000 to a friend to register the parcel under his name. The two went to pick up the package and were arrested on the spot. The records show that the suspect registered other parcels under associates’ names in 2023-2024 so an investigation is launched regarding those.
REPORTER: How come the U.S. authorities did not discover it during the shipping process?
INVESTIGATORS: Usually imports are more heavily inspected than exports. This is not the first time we have uncovered narcotics from a U.S. shipment but such large quantities are rare. We need to reduce the demand for narcotics in Armenia; this is a supply-and-demand issue.

This is excellent news. This should easily give troops less time to understand all the controls and even though it will take longer for the systems to arrive, this will benefit the Armenian army in the long term. Also, this is just speculation on my behalf but by learning how to install Armenian language interface, it should hopefully take Indian manufacturers less time to install such systems on any future hardware that Armenia buys in the future.
That bozo walking to Yerevan is good exercise for him.
As for floods, I’m honestly happy. We probably got two years worth of rain this year, if Sevan’s lake doesn’t rise this year that would indicate how deep our water problems are.
