India has delivered the first batch of Pinaka multi-barrel
rocket launcher systems to Armenia, Armenian media outlets have
reported.
According to Azernews, citing reliable sources,
the information was also confirmed by India’s Defence Minister,
Rajnath Singh, who acknowledged the shipment as part of ongoing
defence cooperation between the two countries.
Armenia had previously signed an agreement with India for the
supply of four Pinaka rocket artillery batteries. The deal includes
multi-barrel launch systems as well as guided rockets designed to
enhance precision strike capabilities.
The delivery marks the first confirmed transfer under the
agreement and reflects the deepening military and defence ties
between New Delhi and Yerevan. No official details have been
disclosed regarding the timeline for the remaining deliveries or
the deployment of the systems within Armenia’s armed forces.
The Pinaka system, developed by India’s Defence Research and
Development Organisation (DRDO), is capable of delivering rapid and
sustained firepower and has been increasingly promoted by India as
part of its growing defence exports.
