Azerbaijan ordered in 2011, 100 T-90S tanks, 100 BMP-3M infantry combat vehicles, 18 2S31 Vena self-propelled guns, 18 MSTA-S 2S19 self-propelled howitzers, 18 TOS-1A heavy flamethrowers, TMM-6 mechanized bridges, MTU-90M tank layer bridges and IMR-3M combat engineer vehicles this year.

The TOS-1A is Russian-made Heavy flamethrower system which is designed for fire support of infantry and tanks, defeating enemy personnel at unconcealed environment and under the shelter in various kinds of offensive and defensive combat action, and also for incapacitation of light armored transport and vehicles.

The armament of the TOS-1A consists of a block launcher with 24 guide pipes of 220 mm calibre with 3,725 m length for launching unguided missile.

The TMM-6 is a Russian-made vehicle launched bridge system. A 17 m folded scissor bridge is carried at the rear of a MZKT-7930 8x8 truck chassis.

The IMR-3 series of combat engineer vehicles is based on the chassis of the T-90 MBT. To carry out its combat engineer role, the turret of the T-90 MBT has been removed and a new all-welded steel superstructure has been fitted with bulletproof windows for the commander/operator. Mounted on this is the telescopic arm which can be fitted with various attachments.
