Maybe nine launchers are enough for them ?
 
This is just UN report, I'm sure much more were bought (launchers and missiles). These numbers does not make any sense to say the least. Anti-tank missiles bought from Ukraine is Skif and Baryer, former bought by Border Guards (also mounted on anti-tank variant of Otokar Cobra used by Border Guards) and the latter used on upgraded Mi-24G Superhinds.

And since this is mentioned, Russia supplied total of 300 Igla-S (SA-24) launchers and 1500 missiles to Azerbaijan in 2011 and 2012.

@cabatli IWP means ? Do you speak about Igla launcher ?

I didn't know Azeris brothers ordered this PMADS :)

Info about quantity ?
 
Why is it sounds to you so unbelievable?

first that thing uses Stingers and US doesn't sell weapons to Azerbaijan
second Azerbaijan has a very advanced air defence umbrella and doesn't need it

Gardaşım, the Kalkan I think is an independent radar system so, no issue of Stinger missiles. Probably early-warning radar.

However, I think Turkish PMADS work with both Stingers and the equivalent Soviet (Igla?) missiles as well.

So you can still buy them from us, they're also more-so tactical air defense. So even if Azerbaijan's air defense network is pretty advanced that doesn't mean you don't have the need to shoot down a couple dozen Armenian helicopters at short range :)

(edit : Aselsan Kalkan , I'm guessing you can read it, eh ;) )
