armament

Hamas is prepared to give up heavy weapons but wants to keep some armaments.

"Russia's state armament programmes also suggest its production capacity for a system like Avangard is limited," he argues.

The joint investigation revealed that files compiled by Sepa, a government pollution watchdog, stated the navy failed to properly maintain a network of 1,500 water pipes at the Coulport armaments depot.

It has also created the new post of national armaments director and established a new Military Strategic Headquarters.

Among the armaments reported to have been placed on pause were Patriot interceptor missiles and precision artillery shells.
