According to Indian media, citing sources in the Government of India, Armenia signed a contract worth about $ 40 million for the acquisition of four Indian ground-based radar stations for detecting artillery positions Swathi Weapon Locating Radar (WLR), and deliveries have already begun.

The Indian Swathi radar was chosen by Armenia as a result of a tender in which the same radars of Russian and Polish production took part.

The Swathi Weapon Locating Radar (WLR) radar was developed by Electronics and Radar Development Establishment (LRDE) of the Indian State Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO), and is manufactured by the Indian state association Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL). A radar with a passive phased array antenna is developed on the basis of the Rajendra multifunctional radar station of the Indian Akash air defense system. The detection range of mortar shots is declared up to 20 km, artillery - up to 30 km, and missile - up to 40 km. The station is installed on the chassis of a Tatra T815 (8x8) car, manufactured in India under license by the state association Bharat Earth Movers Limited (BEML).

The tests and testing of the Swathi WLR radar have been conducted by DRDO since 2003, but only in March 2017 the first of the 28 ordered serial systems was transferred to the Indian army. Armenia became the first known foreign customer of Swathi radar.
