According to foreign media reports, after the end of the Naka War, Armenia handed over some areas to Azerbaijan, including the Jebrail district in the south of Naka that was inspected by the President of Azerbaijan. It is reported that Azerbaijani President Aliyev personally drove his wife to inspect the area. During the inspection, everything went smoothly without any accidents. However, after the inspection activities ended, a few photos released by Iran caused an uproar, causing the President and bodyguards to sweat. In these photos, Azerbaijani President Aliyev and his wife appear to be in the scope of an Iranian sniper.
According to Iranian media reports, Aliyev and his wife were walking hand in hand along the Alas River at the southern border of Naqa and Iran. Two bodyguards stood by the river, and two special forces armed with live ammunition were guarded by guns not far away. This environment seems to be safe enough, but at this time Aliyev and his wife, and even the Azerbaijani personnel who accompanied the two to inspect, are all within the scope of the Iranian sniper on the other side, and Aliyev's head is even more Directly on the sight of the sight. He was almost shot headshot, how could Aliyev not be afraid.
military experts pointed out that from the markings of the scope in the photo, it can be known that the Iranian snipers use the PSO-1 optical scope, which is matched with the SVD sniper rifle. The effective range of the rifle is 800 meters. Judging from the range finder of the scope in the photo, the Iranian sniper in the photo is only about 300 meters away from Aliyev and his wife. Experts say that at this distance, even the SVD, a sniper rifle with a relatively close range, can basically achieve precise sniping. From the perspective of the Azerbaijani media, at the time President Aliyev and his wife were holding hands by the river, and Iranian snipers were hiding on the hillside behind them. It is conceivable that if the sniper pulled the trigger at that time, it is estimated that the 2020 version of the "Sarajevo" incident is now being staged.
Obviously, Aliyev's inspection operation was quite dangerous, and Iran's move did not have the intention of deterring Azerbaijan. After all, the war between Asia and Afghanistan was raging at that time, and Azerbaijan did not launch missiles and dispatch drones into Iran. Therefore, analysts said that Iran’s release of this group of photos is a clear warning to Azerbaijan.
