The war between Armenia and Azerbaijan gradually became a comma with the intervention of Russian peacekeeping forces. But looking back at the war that has lasted for more than 50 days, the two sides still have a lot to comment on, and it is worth returning at this small node.
The two sides used ballistic missiles to fire each other
. For example, this engagement is also a local conflict that has realized the mutual firing of ballistic missiles and other long-range firepower on a global scale. On November 8th alone, Armenia successively launched two "Scud" ballistic missiles to attack targets in Azerbaijan. Armenia, as a weak, lags far behind Azerbaijan in terms of long-range strike weapons. Azerbaijan has surpassed Armenia in artillery systems, especially self-propelled and long-range multiple rocket systems. Armenian forces have similar far fire systems, but the number is much smaller. Larger caliber multiple rocket systems, such as the BM-30 "Tornado" purchased from Russia, can strike military and civilian targets outside the front.
The crater exploded by the Scud missile
Armenia may have a smaller advantage in tactical ballistic missiles. The country has an "Iskander-E" surface-to-surface missile launch brigade (at least 8 launch vehicles with 2 missiles on each launch vehicle), capable of precise strikes against targets in Azerbaijan (the maximum range is approximately 300 kilometers). The Armenian armed forces also have 8 outdated SCUD-B missile systems with a total of approximately 32 missiles. Azerbaijan has three Israeli "Lola" tactical surface-to-surface missiles. This allows both parties to threaten each other's vital foundation Facilities or civilian population centers, and they boldly used these weapons in the conflict. Even after the Turkish coalition besieged the city of Shuxi, Armenia immediately launched two "Scud" tactical ballistic missiles to continue to retaliate against Azerbaijan.
No one in Azerbaijan The aircraft was shot down
Azerbaijan has an indisputable advantage in the number of aircraft and gunships, but although Azerbaijan’s air force capability is much greater than that of Menia, both sides have air defense systems, making the cost of large-scale use of manned aviation Very high.
Armenia’s Iskander missiles were finally put into actual combat
. Therefore, drones played a vital role in this war. Azerbaijan purchased a variety of Israeli drones. Nowadays, Azerbaijan has purchased various Israeli drones. , Azerbaijan has medium-height, long-lasting drones, such as Hermes-900, "Habi" suicide drones, and Turkey’s "Second Lieutenant" TB2 drones. They also have a strong interest in the old Antonov The An-2 aircraft has been repurposed and used as a disposable drone. Armenia has locally produced drones, but in general, these systems are far inferior to Israeli designs in performance. So far From the perspective of the battle, Azerbaijan relies on drones to successfully reverse. However, as long as the ultimate goal of the two parties is not achieved, the final peace in the Naka region will not come. Not to mention the rise of Turkey’s “new Ottomanism” as a background , I can only say that we have just ushered in a new ceasefire node in the Naka region this year.
