Armenia has officially unveiled and inducted Iran’s Majid AD-08 air defense system into its armed forces, marking the first confirmed foreign deployment of the Iranian-made weapon platform. <br /> <br />The move is being viewed as a major geopolitical and military development in the South Caucasus, signaling deepening defense ties between Yerevan and Tehran amid rising regional tensions. <br /> <br />The Majid AD-08 system gained international attention after Iranian media and military-linked sources claimed it successfully intercepted advanced U.S. and Israeli drones during recent Middle East conflicts. <br /> <br />Often described in regional media as an “F-35 destroyer” due to its stealthy radar-silent tracking capability, the system is designed to target drones, cruise missiles, helicopters, and low-flying aircraft using electro-optical and infrared guidance. <br /> <br />Armenia reportedly displayed the Iranian system publicly during Republic Day rehearsals in Yerevan, fueling speculation about expanding Iran-Armenia military cooperation. <br /> <br />The deployment also comes as Armenia continues diversifying its military suppliers beyond Russia, while balancing growing tensions involving Azerbaijan, Turkey, Israel, and Iran across the region. <br /> <br />This video breaks down the Majid AD-08 system, why Armenia’s decision matters strategically, and how Iran’s defense technology is expanding internationally despite sanctions and regional pressure. <br /> <br />#Armenia #Iran #F35 #AirDefense #MajidAD08 #MiddleEast #MilitaryNews #BreakingNews #Israel #Russia #DroneWarfare #WorldNews #Geopolitics #DefenseNews #SouthCaucasus<br /><br />~HT.318~ED.464~PR.462~GR.508~VG.MX~
