German ambassador transfers more than a dozen snowmobiles to Armenia’s Defence Ministry

German Ambassador to Armenia Claudia Busch has, on behalf of the German government, handed over 16 snowmobiles to Armenia’s Ministry of Defence to support the modernisation of military equipment and the development of the armed forces’ capabilities.

According to Armenia’s Ministry of Defence, First Deputy Defence Minister and Chief of the General Staff, Lieutenant General Edward Asryan, received Ambassador Busch at the ministry’s administrative complex on June 17.

The ambassador noted that Armenia and Germany enjoy close relations. She highlighted that since 2025, bilateral ties have been strengthened through a Strategic Partnership Agenda signed by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.

The snowmobiles will be used in high-mountain conditions for the transportation of personnel and light cargo.

With the support of experts from Germany, Armenian Armed Forces personnel are currently undergoing training on the operation and maintenance of the vehicles.
