[0:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rrp8IPKwKatG/en/air-defense-training-with-karich-missile-systems?t=9) Specialist training is underway in the air defense unit, before the practical phase begins, the command staff studies the situation, and clarifies the assigned tasks. [0:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rrp8IPKwKatG/en/air-defense-training-with-karich-missile-systems?t=20) The exercise aims to test coordination between units, and the coordination of forces and equipment. [0:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rrp8IPKwKatG/en/air-defense-training-with-karich-missile-systems?t=27) As part of the readiness plan, another comprehensive exercise was held, during which air defense tasks and airspace monitoring are practiced, along with protecting the country's most important facilities and troops. [0:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rrp8IPKwKatG/en/air-defense-training-with-karich-missile-systems?t=48) The tasks are clear. The military equipment swings into action, and the Scorpion air defense missile launchers move out onto the training field. [0:55](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rrp8IPKwKatG/en/air-defense-training-with-karich-missile-systems?t=55) These air defense systems are designed to counter aerial threats. [1:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rrp8IPKwKatG/en/air-defense-training-with-karich-missile-systems?t=60) According to the exercise scenario, the command vehicle first detects aerial targets, after which the coordinates are distributed among the combat vehicles for engagement. [1:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rrp8IPKwKatG/en/air-defense-training-with-karich-missile-systems?t=70) I served as an operator in the Skorpion surface-to-air missile system. [1:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rrp8IPKwKatG/en/air-defense-training-with-karich-missile-systems?t=74) The equipment is very effective and powerful, with many advantages. [1:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rrp8IPKwKatG/en/air-defense-training-with-karich-missile-systems?t=79) It operates in various weather and challenging conditions. [1:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rrp8IPKwKatG/en/air-defense-training-with-karich-missile-systems?t=82) The Armed Forces leadership pays close attention to the armament of air defense units and their state of readiness. [1:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rrp8IPKwKatG/en/air-defense-training-with-karich-missile-systems?t=92) I can proudly report that those units have already been formed. [1:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rrp8IPKwKatG/en/air-defense-training-with-karich-missile-systems?t=99) The introduction of new military equipment also entails acquiring new knowledge and skills. [1:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rrp8IPKwKatG/en/air-defense-training-with-karich-missile-systems?t=103) An important prerequisite for its effective use It is trained personnel who master their professional duties. [1:53](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rrp8IPKwKatG/en/air-defense-training-with-karich-missile-systems?t=113) We are at the field exit, training and learning alongside our officers. [1:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rrp8IPKwKatG/en/air-defense-training-with-karich-missile-systems?t=117) We must be able to react quickly at any moment. [2:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rrp8IPKwKatG/en/air-defense-training-with-karich-missile-systems?t=121) Airspace defense requires constant readiness, consistent work, and an effective combination of technical and human capabilities. [2:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rrp8IPKwKatG/en/air-defense-training-with-karich-missile-systems?t=131) We keep improving, and we work better, mastering our military equipment, and we will always continue to defend our Republic of Armenia. [2:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rrp8IPKwKatG/en/air-defense-training-with-karich-missile-systems?t=140) No effort or expense is spared, so that in a short time the newly acquired weapons can be brought into service and operated without interruption. [2:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rrp8IPKwKatG/en/air-defense-training-with-karich-missile-systems?t=153) The personnel of the Karich air defense system are mainly beneficiaries of the “Defender of the Fatherland” program. [2:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rrp8IPKwKatG/en/air-defense-training-with-karich-missile-systems?t=159) According to the young people, the program gives them the opportunity to combine military service and professional growth, while contributing to strengthening the army’s defensive capability. [2:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rrp8IPKwKatG/en/air-defense-training-with-karich-missile-systems?t=169) The “Defender of the Fatherland” program is a very good program. [2:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rrp8IPKwKatG/en/air-defense-training-with-karich-missile-systems?t=172) I chose it because I can continue my studies abroad too, get a higher education and be of service to my homeland and fulfill my duty. [3:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rrp8IPKwKatG/en/air-defense-training-with-karich-missile-systems?t=182) Those who enter contract service through the “Defender of the Fatherland” program should become the backbone of our contract servicemembers in the future. [3:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rrp8IPKwKatG/en/air-defense-training-with-karich-missile-systems?t=192) Service in the enlisted and sergeant ranks should be built on them. [3:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rrp8IPKwKatG/en/air-defense-training-with-karich-missile-systems?t=198) They understand this much, they understand the responsibility placed on their shoulders and approach their service accordingly. [3:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rrp8IPKwKatG/en/air-defense-training-with-karich-missile-systems?t=206) These kinds of scheduled exercises make it possible to assess the units’ level of readiness, to identify areas for improvement and strengthen the air defense system’s defensive capabilities.
