News - Russia MFA spox: France sold useless armored vehicles to Armenia which Paris could not sell in other directions

Arguments about the advantages of supplying Armenia with French “Bastion” armored vehicles seem rather naive. Maria Zakharova, official representative of the Russian foreign ministry, stated this on Wednesday. "In Ukraine, they showed their very low efficiency in real combat conditions. Well, I don't know. If they were displayed just at squares, maybe it would make sense. And if you look at the efficiency, please, you can come, our soldiers will tell you. “What does this mean in terms of the efforts by Paris? France simply sold useless assets to Yerevan, which Paris could not sell in other directions. Exactly how this purchase can strengthen the security of Armenia's sovereign territory remains a mystery. "Not to mention the fact that such buildup of military equipment of various branches of industry has never contributed to the increase of defense capabilities," said the official representative of the Russian foreign ministry.
