India will supply Armenia with a large consignment of weapons and ammunition worth almost $250 million, the Indian edition of The Economic Times reported. 

It is noted that relevant contracts were signed between the two countries' governments in early September. The cost of the contracts was not disclosed. However, according to the English-language newspaper, we can talk about 20 billion rupees, which is over 244 million in dollar terms. The sources of the publication say that the order includes the first-ever export of locally manufactured Pinaka multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS). As part of the deal, India will also supply Armenia with anti-tank missiles and many other munitions. 

The Indian Army has recently placed orders for six additional regimental sets of these systems. It is testing extended-range missiles for these launchers. 

This is not the first case of Indian arms exports to Armenia. In 2020, New Delhi delivered four Swathi counter-battery radars to Yerevan for $40 million.
