Vahram Atanesyan, a former member of the Central Committee of Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh National Assembly, wrote on his Facebook page:
"One of the former government representatives says that if there were no change of government in 2018, the army would have received 2500 UAVs by 2020.
First, in the summer of 2014, the enemy used anti-aircraft missiles for the first time on the Karabakh-Azerbaijan contact line. It was also possible to replenish the arsenal of the Armenian army with UAVs by 2018.
Second, what kind of UAVs are we talking about, and which country are they made by? Just don't say, Russian. Russia started serial production of the first strike UAVs in 2023. Israel and Turkey would not sell UAVs to Armenia. We couldn't pay even if they sold it because the price of one Israeli UAV starts at 4.4 million dollars. Multiply by 2,500 and see what you get."
