The level of the anti-aircraft defense systems of the Republics of
Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh is high and they are ready to fulfill
their missions at any moment to defend the air security of the two
Armenian states, according to Colonel Haykaz Gevorgyan, head of chair
of the anti-aircraft security faculty of the RA Defense Ministry’s
Armenak Khamperyants Military Aviation Institute.

He said at a news conference today that since 1999 the RA anti-aircraft
defense forces have been partaking in the joint drills of the CIS
states. In 2005 with those drills they received the highest marks by
fulfilling their missions with the “T-300” high technology system.

According to Artsrun Hovhannisyan, military expert, the military
readiness level of the Armenian anti-aircraft systems and forces
is high. “During the Karabakh war we did not have corresponding
specialists, high-level anti-aircraft equipments, as Azerbaijan.

Despite this, we achieved success in this field by making the opponent
suffer losses and destroying a large number of military equipments.

This was an excellent result in the history of armed forces,” the
military expert said.

According to Haykaz Gevorgyan, the RA Defense Ministry’s Armenak
Khamperyants Military Aviation Institute has prepared three generations
of RA Armed Forces specialists. “I assure that we have excellent
professionals, the number of which will increase,” Haykaz Gevorgyan
said.
