Baku Can’t Down Iskendar Missiles, Says Armenia’s Defense Ministry

YEREVAN””Azerbaijan does not have any weapons or missiles that can down the sophisticated Iskander missile system, acquired last year by Armenia, the country’s defense ministry spokesperson Artsrun Hovhannisyan told Panorama.am in an interview.

Hovhannisyan’s comments come days after Azerbaijan’s Defense Minister Zakir Hasanov told RIA Novosti that Baku possesses high grade missiles that can easily down the Iskander missile system.

“Zakir Hasanov stands out with his low level of knowledge, which is at a lower level than the one of a platoon commander. He has shown it on multiple occasions. To put it mildly, it is impossible to shoot down Iskander missiles by any system in Azerbaijan,”
