YEREVAN—Armenian Defense Minister Davit Tonoyan announced on Tuesday that the Air Force was expecting a second delivery of the state-of-the-art Russian-manufactured Sukhoi-30SM fighter jet.
Russia delivered the first batch of four Sukhois to great fanfare last December in accordance with the terms of the agreement signed less than a year prior whose total cost remains classified. All things considered, Armenia is expected to receive 12 of the 4+ Generation multirole fighters—enough to equip a full squadron—along with the necessary spare parts and sophisticated munitions to match.

That badge is awful
The current emblem is a bit too cartoony… it does need an update… but maybe something simpler than the new one.
The biggest mark he left was the out-of-control rant about the head of the Constitutional Court, followed by the embarrassment of not being able to produce the promised proof. Surprised you didn’t mention that…
The eagle on the current badge looks scared and confused, it needed to be changed…Like yesterday.
If I may add, while we are at it let’s also redesign the coat of arms of the Republic of Armenia. If you look carefully at the current design, you’ll notice that the eagle and the lion do not project an image of confidence and strength, they look more like domestic animals, our enemies must be laughing at us.
