Armenia's Newest Sniper Revealed

About a year and a half ago I blogged about Armenia's purchase of some weapons from the famous Zastava factory in Serbia. Very few details were available at the time.

The picture above is a Zastava M93 Black Arrow sniper rifle, believed to be part of that large order. It shoots the mighty .50 caliber round and can engage targets over 2 kilometers away.

Oh, and who are those two fellows eye raping it?

More information on the rifle can be found here.

Azerbaijani Sniper Kills Armenian Soldier

I hope this incident is not related to this one. Here's the story:

Armenian defense ministry said an Armenian serviceman was fatally wounded by an Azerbaijani sniper today morning at a position on Armenian-Azerbaijani border near the town of Berd. The ministry said Armen Malkhasian, 19, was wounded in the head and died on the road to hospital. Seyran Shahsuvarian, a spokesman for Armenian defense ministry, said an investigation was started into the incident.

This is getting out of hand: what is the future of our two countries?
