BAKU, Jan. 19 (Xinhua) -- Azerbaijan has received a large batch of new military equipment and ammunition from Russia, Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry said in a statement on Friday.

Russia has delivered modern military equipment to Azerbaijan in accordance with the intergovernmental deal between the two countries, the Ministry said.

The ammunition and other military equipment have been delivered to the port in Baku and will soon be transferred to the military units stationed on the front-line zone, it said.

The Russia-made military equipment has excellent fire capabilities and high terrain crossing ability in mountainous conditions.

Since regaining its independence in 1991, Azerbaijan set a target to increase the capability of its armed forces. Azerbaijan purchases different weaponry from Russia, Israel, Turkey, Pakistan, and Belarus. The country also builds up its own capabilities to produce new weaponry. Enditem
