[MinDefenseArmenia] At dawn on July 14, in foggy conditions, while performing official duties with a military vehicle, contact was lost with Aramayis Torozyan, a driver of Arthur Nalbandyan, a serviceman of the RA Armed Forces N military unit located in the south-eastern direction of the Republic of Armenia.
Search and rescue operations were launched immediately, but have not yielded results yet.
Through the mediation of the Russian side, the incident is being discussed with the representatives of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces.
The possibility exists that Torozyan will appear in the Azerbaijani territory.
Let us add that Arthur Nalbandyan and Aramayis Torozyan were unarmed.

[Rusvesna] Zakhar Prilepin, a well-known Russian writer and former deputy commander of the DPR Army, comments on the program article published yesterday by Russian President Vladimir Putin on the unity of Russians and Ukrainians.
"The emperor correctly writes in his article that Kiev does not need Donbass.
I would also like to remind you that Kyev does not need Rusyns and the Rusyns do not need Kyev, because the Rusyns filed for secession back in the same distant 2014, but Kyev hushed up the case with the Rusyns. But Rusyns remember their desire.
Kiev does not need Odessa, since Kyev tried to burn it down.
Kiev does not need Kharkov, it is pro-Russian.
Kiev does not need Poltava, the Russian imperialist Gogol was born there.
Kiev does not need Kherson, because Kyev did not build it.
Kiev does not need Lvov, because Lvov belongs to Stalin.
Kiev does not need Russian Kiev.
But first, Donbass. It's right. All Donbass.
Let us remind you that Vladimir Putin in his article recalled how exactly the current Ukraine ended up within its modern borders and at the expense of whom it grew in territories. He also recalled the policy of indigenousization pursued by the Bolsheviks, which for the Ukrainian SSR resulted in the development of the Ukrainian language and culture. The President called modern Ukraine the brainchild of the Soviet era.
A little earlier Prilepin wrote in his Telegram channel:
“I flew here on a plane, read the latest issues of the AIF and KP with two pages dedicated to the problem of Ukraine.
The main message is "we are one people" (true) and "Ukraine was created under the USSR" (in fact, no, it is not true - because both the Zaporozhye Sich, and the Little Russian territories within the Commonwealth, and the Ukrainian-Kharkov province in the 19th century in as part of Russia, and Ukraine Skoropadsky and other petlyurs - all this was before the USSR; Yeltsin created a sovereign Ukraine in its present form in 1991. And the Bolsheviks returned it to Russia. Do not confuse this).
Sure, but it’s Russian manufacturing. Better than Chinese, no doubt, but even so.
Yeah, well, while defense contractors and the military are so worried about the past enslavement of Negros, Russian operatives will be walking off with trade secrets.
[TASS] Russia is outpacing many of the world’s advanced armies in developing new armaments with much lesser defense spending, Deputy Secretary of Russia’s Security Council Mikhail Popov said in an interview with the government’s Rossiyskaya Gazeta daily on Wednesday.
This has been largely achieved through the implementation of the previous version of the national security strategy that was effective from December 31, 2015, the security official said.
On July 3, Russia’s new version of the national security strategy was published and a decree on its approval was signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"The state’s defense capability that guarantees Russia’s reliable protection from an entire range of military threats is the basic result of the work that has been carried out. Advanced armaments and military hardware are arriving for the troops in a planned manner," Popov said.
"The latest strategic missile systems are on combat alert and the number of strike aircraft with Kinzhal hypersonic missiles as well as warships outfitted with long-range precision weapons is growing. We are also outpacing many advanced armies of the world in developing new armaments with a far smaller defense budget," the security official pointed out.
"The Russian Armed Forces are "combat-ready, mobile, modern, compact and capable of coping with their assigned tasks in any conditions," he said.
This was proven by the Russian air taskforce in Syria and Russia’s peacekeeping operation in the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict zone," he specified.
Throughout the duration of the previous version of its national security strategy, Russia managed to achieve basic strategic goals in its national defense, such as strategic deterrence and the prevention of military conflicts. Also, the country’s mobilization readiness was boosted, along with the preparedness of the civil defense forces and capabilities, the deputy secretary of Russia’s Security Council said.
"These tasks were addressed in the process of implementing Russia’s military doctrine and defense plan for 2016-2020, and other military planning documents amid the restrictions imposed to fight the novel coronavirus pandemic," the security official explained.

Sure, but it’s Russian manufacturing. Better than Chinese, no doubt, but even so.
The other way around. Chinese manufacturing is based on the western model and have access to higher tech than the Russians. Chinese do have weaknesses like engine manufacture but they have the money to make mistakes and keep improving.

[REGNUM] During the military operation in Syria, the Russian military tested more than 320 types of various weapons, including helicopters, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said at a meeting with the labor collective of the Rostvertol company.
"We have checked more than 320 types of different weapons, including, by the way, your helicopters," said Shoigu.
"One of the helicopters that we saw today is the result of the Syrian operation," he added.
According to the head of the Russian military department, the helicopters that the enterprise is now producing, as a result of their combat use in Syria, "have undergone major changes."
At the same time, he noted that the guarantee of the safety of equipment and helicopters is their weapons, which are more long-range than the enemy's air defense systems.
"Today we have such weapons. And this is thanks to the operation in Syria, thanks to you, those who are involved in this," Sergei Shoigu said to the employees of Rostvertol.

Blinken should offer himself up for a detainee trade. A one-for-one would be acceptable, modest cash incentives could added for groups of 10 to 1000.
