India to Deliver the New Batch of Akash-1S SAMs to Armenia TurDef
India will deliver a second batch of the Akash-1S medium-range air defence system to Armenia, following the shipment of the first batch in November 2024.
According to Indian Aerospace Defence News, a second batch of Akash-1S medium-range air defence systems will be delivered in July 2025. The first shipment left the port in November 2024. The total order of Armenia for Akash-1S consists of 15 units, valued at $700 million.
While India is selling Akash-1S to Armenia, it is also introducing the newer Akash-NG system with improved propulsion and guidance.
This is not the only significant land-based weapon delivery from India to Armenia. Armenia has also acquired the Pinaka 220 mm MLRS, which has arguably lower performance compared to its competitors but can be classified as a pivotal fire support asset.
