Bulavintsev: The population of fraternal Armenia, the whole of the Commonwealth can be confident that the Erebuni airbase reliably protects the sky of the republic
ArmInfo."Currently, thanks to your conscientious service, the population of fraternal Armenia, the entire Commonwealth can be confident that the Erebuni air base
reliably protects the sky of the republic, and also ensures the
safety of the air borders of the south of the CIS'', Major General
Yevgeni Bulavintsev , a military and air attache at the Russian
Embassy in Armenia stated in his speech today.
He recalled that in 1998, modern fighter aircraft MIG-29 had been
relocated to the airfield to ensure reliable protection of the
Commonwealth's air borders. "Subsequently, a complex of works was
carried out to expand the fleet and increase the capacity of the air
base to receive other types of aircraft. As further events showed,
the measures taken were timely and not in vain, because soon all of
you had a chance to play an important role in ensuring the fight
against terrorism. At the same time, a number of pilots took direct
part in the performance of combat missions in the territory of the
SAR. And you honorably, at a high professional level, coped with the
tasks, saving a lot of other people's lives, which is important, and
your own lives, " Bulavintsev said.
At the same time, he wished that the strength of his spirit, the
courage of true patriotism, skill and confidence in his own strength
helped the pilot continue to perform the tasks set.
