94 T-90S tanks, about 100 BMP-3 armored vehicles, 18 Msta-S SPGs, 18 Smerch multiple-rocket launchers, 18 Vena multiple-rocket launchers and 6 TOS-1A Solntsepyok flamethrowers have arrived from Russia to Baku.Good old fashioned Russian diplomacy. We send food and give promises while the Russians deliver arms.
Vladimir Yevseyev, director of the Center for Socio-Political studies, believes that the vehicles are an attempt to maintain balance in the region. He says that Russia enforced the Gyumri base and probably needed to calm Azerbaijan by sending the armaments. It may be an attempt to improve relations before the summit of Presidents Vladimir Putin and Ilham Aliyev planned for October.
Considering the issues in Syria, Afghanistan and insurgencies in the Philippines and Indonesia, I bet our allies want more than flowery speeches from the President.
