Armenian Missile Troops and Artillery mark 25th anniversary

21 October, 2017 14:50
The 25th anniversary of the formation of the Armenian Armed Forces Missile Troops and Artillery Department was solemnly celebrated at an artillery training unit on October 21.

On this occasion, a number of artillerists were awarded with Department’s medals, diplomas and valuable gifts by the orders of the Armenian defence minister and the chief of the General Staff.

Congratulating the artillerists on the anniversary, Defence Minister Vigen Sargsyan praised the role of this powerful fire force -- the artillery -- in ensuring the army's combat readiness and emphasized the artillery’s role in retaliating the enemy during the April 2016 military operations.

The participants of the solemn event studied some of the products produced by the Armenian military industry for artillery troops and watched demonstrative trainings of artillery subdivisions.
