Russia will give Armenia 6 "Smerch" rocket artillery
system and 6 TOS - 1A ("Solnchepyok") heavy fire -
guns.
Axar.az reports that it took place in the report of Center for
Analysis of World Arms Trade of Russia. According to report,
Armenia should pay $60m for "Smerch" rockets and $40m for
"Solnchepyok". Yerevan is going to buy "Tigr" tanks and "Igla - S"
zenit missile complex this year.
Notably, all of these weapons will be given to Armenia thanks to
$200m loan which was allocated for them by Russia some months ago.
According to deal between sides, loan should be spent on providing
Armenian army with latest weapons. Yerevan is going to pay their
loan to Moscow starting from 2018. Loan should be paid for 10
years. Names of these weapons were mentioned in the list which
showed which guns was Armenia willing to buy from Russia.
Interesing point is, Russia sells these guns to Armenia with
preferential terms. Thus, price of the "Smerch" misilles' export
version is $12,5m. If we will check the report, we can see that
they have sold it to Armenia for $10m.
