“A new type of attack drone is being tested. This is another achievement from the Armenian military industry,” the Armenian Minister of High-Tech Industry, Hagop Archakyan, said about the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).
It is not clear when the Dragon will be introduced to the Armenian Armed Forces; however, given their recent clashes with Azerbaijan, there is a good chance that Yerevan will accelerate its transfer to their military arsenal.
