Iranian attempts to please "brotherly" Armenia: missiles, rocket launchers and kamikaze drones
Tehran's revelation

POLITICS  19 December 2022 - 13:21

The sale of weapons to Armenia is still in the limelight of Iranian media. Meanwhile, there are attempts to justify the military-technical cooperation of the clerical regime with the aggressor country. However, these gestures of the Iranian media look not only unconvincing but rather absurd.

Thus, for example, the article of the Tahririeh edition loudly titled "Supplies of the Iranian rockets to Armenia and geopolitical future of the region" notes that the appearance of the Iranian antitank missile complexes in Armenia "is not something unusual". It says that "today Iran exports weapons to more than 55 countries of the world. Iranian arms are of high quality and are reasonably priced. The Western media, which wrote high-profile articles about the participation of Iranian UAVs in the war in Ukraine, cannot make Tehran retreat, but on the contrary, have become an advertisement for Iran. And because of this, more than 20 countries are in line to receive Iranian drones."

This begs the question of the "high quality" of Iranian weapons. We've all seen these weapons at Iranian army exercises - they are ordinary junk. Hundreds of Shahed-136 kamikaze drones that Moscow bought from Iran have also been destroyed in Ukraine. As for the long queue of 20 countries lined up for these weapons, it is not surprising - they are pariah states like Iran and its trustees Armenia.

Let's go further. Then the Iranian journalist (though I don't exclude that the writer was someone close to Rahbar or IRGC) was carried away. "At the time when Iran sells weapons worth $500 million to Baku, in particular artillery shells, which it, in its turn, passes to Ukraine through Georgia, the sale of weapons to Armenia is just what it needs".

Of course, Baku does not conceal that the process of modernization and rearmament of the Azerbaijani Army does not stop for a single day. We do buy a lot of weapons. But with a caveat - modern and of high quality, which the Iranian military-industrial complex obviously cannot boast of. As for Ukraine, we assist it. And we are not hiding it. But this assistance is purely humanitarian in nature: generators, medicines, food, fuel, etc. But no one can provide Ukraine with the facts of Azerbaijani arms transfer, because they do not exist. Otherwise, Russia, which is stuck in Ukraine, would surely have already voiced its claims to Baku. If the generators for the Ukrainian civilian population caused a stir in the Russian Foreign Ministry, it is foolish to think that the supplies of "armament worth $500 million" would have left Moscow indifferent.

"Dehlaviyeh and Top Attack Almas missiles, several combat drones, reconnaissance vehicles, and suicide drones were purchased by Armenia from Iran," the article says.

This is the only truthful aspect of the Iranian article, which is beyond doubt for us, as Caliber.Az was one of the first to report on this. Well, if the Iranian authorities are so eager to rearm Armenia which surely is preparing for war with Azerbaijan, the very Azerbaijan that in the words of Rahbar's advisor Velayati was described as "the light of their eye" - well, it's their choice. Baku has its own eye, which sees and fixes everything.
