A Russian ally's purchase of French and Indian weapons is another sign Moscow is losing influence in its neighborhood

• Armenia has been ordering more weapons, turning to France and India for air-defense systems.
• Armenia is a longtime ally of Russia, but it has leaned away from Moscow in recent years.
• With its focus on Ukraine, Russia has offered Armenia little help in its conflicts with Azerbaijan.

In recent weeks, Armenia has ordered air-defense systems and radars from France and reportedly anti-drone systems from India.
