India and Armenia are turning arms deals into something much bigger: a structured military partnership. Senior officials have exchanged a new framework for direct cooperation between their armed forces, building on years of defence consultations, training and military-technical ties. Armenia has already bought Indian Pinaka rocket systems, Akash air-defence missiles, Swathi weapon-locating radars and ATAGS artillery, with Indian government material putting contracts since 2022 above $1.5 billion. BrahMos has also appeared in official Indian material relating to Armenia, although public details remain limited. Why does this matter? Armenia’s main rival, Azerbaijan, enjoys close military ties with Turkey and strategic support from Pakistan. Baku has previously objected to Indian arms supplies to Yerevan. This video examines how Armenia became one of India’s most important defence customers—and why India’s growing military footprint in the Caucasus is attracting attention in Ankara and Baku.
