YEREVAN — Armenia has acquired V-BAT unmanned aerial vehicles from the United States as part of the Armenia–U.S. military and defense partnership. According to Armenpress, the announcement was made by Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan following his meeting with U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance.

“We have recorded significant progress in the field of Armenia–U.S. military and defense cooperation. Building on our many years of bilateral security collaboration and the ‘Eagle Partner’ joint exercises that have been ongoing for three years, Armenia has acquired V-BAT unmanned aerial vehicles from the United States. Their effectiveness has been proven through extensive operational experience, and they will substantially contribute to strengthening our defense capabilities,” the Prime Minister said.
