La parata militare armena sembra includere il sistema di difesa aerea iraniano

This is about the ‘Scorpion’ system:

>But Sirous Amerian, a New Zealand-based military affairs analyst, told RFE/RL’s Radio Farda he had no doubts about the system’s origin.

>”Anyone who sees images of these Iranian systems can effectively identify them without needing official Armenian confirmation,” he said.

>“If you look at the components and structure of this system and compare it with images of the Majid system, in my opinion there is about a 99.5 percent overlap. Therefore, it is most likely the same system. So, either due to local requirements, or perhaps Armenia — because it is not under sanctions — has access to a better, international chassis, instead of, for example, an Iranian Aras vehicle, they mounted it on an (Italian) Iveco chassis,” he added.

…

>Armenia would be the first country to buy it, Defense Security Asia wrote on May 27.

>“It can position itself somewhere, deploy its stabilizers, activate its optics, scan, fire its missile, and five minutes later be 5-10 kilometers away. This mobility, lightness, and the fact that everything is integrated into a single vehicle is very attractive,” Amerian told RFE/RL.

So the [report ](https://www.iranintl.com/en/202407248345) on a $500m deal had some substance to it.

Note that the MoD declined to comment:

> A spokesman for the Defense Ministry in Yerevan was also cautious, declining to confirm or deny if the Scorpion was actually of Iranian origin.
