India and Armenia are set to enhance military collaboration through joint training for Armenia’s Special Forces in high-altitude combat, facilitated by India’s High Altitude Warfare School (HAWS) in Jammu & Kashmir. This initiative, alongside Armenia’s procurement of Indian loitering munitions, aims to bolster Armenia’s military capabilities, particularly against regional threats from the Azerbaijani-Turkish- Pakistani axis. The training will foster interoperability between Indian and Armenian forces and diversify Armenia’s military partnerships amid strained relations with Russia. For India, this partnership strengthens its strategic presence in the South Caucasus, countering adversarial influences and enhancing regional security dynamics.
