    1) I’m wondering if this is 72 *new* orders on top of what we had from before, or if this is just part of the previous original orders. I’m assuming it’s the latter and not the former.

    2) I think given what we’ve seen over the past few months, we can surmise that Armenia’s intake of new ATAGS are around 6 per month, given how I think we also saw another article on November(?) that around 6 were acquired by Armenia then.

    Given this, I do genuinely wonder how much artillery an army like ours can have for it to be enough and sufficient for military operations. Is around 100 of these enough? Is it overkill? Is it lacking and we still need more? No clue, I just know they’re better than what we had previously, and that our original stocks were heavily depleted because of the equipment that were just *left over* in Artsakh.

  2. It might seem like Pasha is doing nothing. But all the information we have about our weapon imports comes from foreign sources. Pasha is playing smart by not making the military capabilities of Armenia public knowledge for the Humpty Dumpty in Baku to easily get. The element of surprise is very important here, Azerbaijan deep down wonders “how much has changed since 2020” giving them the answer is the dumbest thing the government can do now.

    This is unlike them, their strategy is to make everything public so they can fear monger the Armenian public into submission and chaos. Don’t let them win.

    The amount of work that has been done by this government on diplomacy, foreign relations and PR since 2020 is crazy. Probably some of the best diplomatic work we’ve seen from a post Soviet country. If the same energy has been kept in the military arena then I have hope for our future.
