Armenia may have Russian S-400 - MOD

Armenia is modernizing and improving military equipment annually, said Armenian Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan, news.am reported.

Asked whether Russia’s replacement of S-300 missile systems with S-400 will affect Armenia as well, Ohanyan said that Armenia’s S-300 systems are in a state of combat readiness and can fulfill the tasks. However, the Minister did not rule out possibility that Armenia once can be upgraded to S-400 systems.
