Episode Notes:

Mike is joined by Leonid Nersisyan and Vasgan Gazarian to discuss how Armenia is reshaping its defense policy since the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war. They trace the country's rapid move away from Russian procurement and training toward the West and the harder, slower work of reforming tactics, command, and training across ranks. The discussion turns to what Armenia is drawing from the Russo-Ukrainian war on drones, Counter Unmanned Aircraft Systems, and air defense, and the perennial problem of turning wartime adaptation into lasting institutional learning.
