The leader of Armenia has declared his intention to pull out of a Russia-dominated security alliance of several ex-Soviet nations as tensions rise between the two allies.
Debatable, its population is more than 10 smaller than Ukraine, much smaller area. Its easier to blitzkrieg through it. But even a protracted grind war they won’t be as close to friendly nato countries who can supply fast and active armed forces is under 50k. That would include non-front line roles. So another exercise of 2-300k conscripts maybe push through if they have enough vehicles to carry ammo.
But yes they are busy elsewhere atm. curiously armenia seems to have 400 main battle tanks and 200 ifvs so perhaps can offer decent resistance for a few days if they work/have ammo
Nah their military is busy stepping on rakes in Ukraine. This is Armenia’s opportunity window
