    Armenian aviation can strike enemy's strategic sites - expert

    June 18, 2011 | 17:12


    Baku is developing military aviation to attack, while Armenia - to
    defend, said deputy head of Armenia's aviation department Armen
    Lazarian.

    According to him, the level of the Azerbaijani Air Forces is more a PR
    action rather than reality. The expert called not to exaggerate
    capability of Azerbaijan's aviation despite the fact that the balance
    of power between Armenia and Azerbaijan is shifted to Baku from the
    quantitative point of view.

    `However, in the early 90s, the Azerbaijani side has a numerical
    advantage, but we managed to get out of the situation in the status of
    a winner,' he said.

    He stressed that the main advantage of the Armenian side is skilled
    pilots who got an appraisal from the international experts as well.
    The level of training of Armenian pilots, as well as relevant
    equipment allows carrying out flights under any weather conditions and
    at any time of the day.

    Lazarian said that, unlike other post-Soviet countries, Armenia has
    not received the aviation heritage after
    the collapse of the Soviet Union and developed the aviation from
    scratch. Nowadays Armenia has not only the Air Forces, but the school
    and its own aviation traditions. Over the recent years, the country
    has imported new equipment which allows carrying out strikes on any
    targets in Azerbaijan.

    `Our equipment enables to carry out actions within a radius of 250-350
    km, that is, our air forces can conduct operations in enemy's
    territory striking strategic sites, regardless of who and how they are
    defended,' he added.
