ArmInfo. At today's press conference in Yerevan, Poland's Ambassador to Armenia Jerzy Marek Nowakowski said that Poland regrets but understands the Armenian Defense Minister's decision, according to which the Armenian tanks will be modernized by Russia, not Poland.
He stressed that at ArmHiTec-2016 the Polish companies engaged in defense sparked no less interest than the Russian ones.
To note, it became known in late October that Armenia and Russia launched a large-scale program of modernization of T-72 battle tanks of the Armenian Armed Forces. It was also reported that earlier the Armenian Defense Ministry was going to sign a contract with the Polish company Bumar Labedy on modernization of its tanks under the PT-72U program. By some data, the contract on modernization of 84 tanks would cost Yerevan $100 mln.
