Overview

The Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia were established in 1992, following the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Their doctrine, structure, and development have been profoundly shaped by the Nagorno-Karabakh conflicts and the tense geopolitical situation with its neighbors, Azerbaijan and Turkey.

Ground Forces (Հայաստանի ցամաքային ուժեր): This is the largest and most numerous branch of the armed forces. Its primary mission is the defense of the country's land borders. The army is organized into several army corps, each responsible for an operational sector. It is composed of motorized infantry and tank units, and possesses a powerful artillery and missile systems component, which is a traditional strength.
Air Force and Air Defense Forces (Ռազմաօդային ուժեր և Հակաօդային պաշտպանության զորքեր): This is a unified branch responsible for protecting Armenia's airspace and providing support to ground forces.
