Россия проводит крупномасштабные учения в Армении

Россия начала крупномасштабные учения в Армении.

Около 3000 военнослужащих и более 500 единиц техники, а также МиГ-29 ВВС примут участие в учениях, проходящих в районах Алагяза и Камхуд. Учения проходят под контролем Южного военного округа Российской Федерации во главе с генерал-лейтенантом Александром Романчуком. 102 российская военная база находится недалеко от армянского города Гюмри. В 2010 году Россия и Армения договорились продлить соглашение о присутствии базы до 2044 года.

Учения начались в день подписания соглашения о сотрудничистве в военной сфере во время визита в Баку министра обороны России Сергея Шойгу. 

Учения, как ожидается, завершатся в воскресенье.
