We continue to strengthen our defense relationship with Armenia. Warm and productive interview with my counterpart 🇦🇲@papikyan_suren , on the sidelines of Eurosatory. New important milestone with the signing of a contract for the acquisition of CAESAR cannons.

Say whatever you want but Suren is kinda killing it with trying to diversify our arsenal
It’s official. Armenia will get the Caesar artillery! It was really overdue.
Well Caesar arguably is the best out there. Sweden Archer on the same level or even little better, can’t say but there are really small amount of them built. It’s huge if we acquired them.
Frankly i don’t know how to feel about it.
We have ordered a lot of howitzers from India, and adding some french ones will complicate maintenance quite a lot.
Also howitzer is something you need a lot of and CAESAR is expensive to buy and probably maintain.
Surely CAESAR is one of the best ones in the world, but did it worth it? Arguable, but In my opinion yes. Even if we end up buying 12 units which won’t change much, it takes the defense relationship with France to a new level
Wow. This is very important as this is a weapon type that has offensive uses. So, it is a breaking of a prior barrier of supplying only weapons capable of defence.
It would seem the West is becoming more and more determined in their course of action.
