Azerbaijan has received another batch of military equipment and ammunition purchased from Russia.

The delivery of Russian-made modern military equipment, arms, ammunition and other military-technical equipment to Azerbaijan is carried out in accordance with the agreement on military-technical cooperation signed between the two countries, the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry reported on July 10.

The projectiles, rockets and other military equipment delivered to Baku in large quantities are intended for accurate and extensive destruction of combat assets, engineering structures, military personnel and other enemy facilities with appropriate rocket and artillery systems.

The Defense Ministry noted that the echeloned ammunition will multiply the combat capabilities of the Azerbaijani troops stationed on frontline.

The Azerbaijani Army, which today is considered the most modern army in the Caucasus, consists of Air Force and Air Defense Forces, the Navy, and the Land Forces.

The skills and combat readiness of the Azerbaijani army are growing year by year, as the country’s Armed Forces regularly conduct military exercises. The Azerbaijani army is supplied with modern weapons and technical equipment for maintaining a high level of combat capability.

The army building process is of particular importance for Azerbaijan, as twenty percent of the country's territory is under Armenian occupation and the country is in a state of war with Armenia.
