Israel plans to deliver $ 1,6 billion worth of weapons to Azerbaijan

As reported by the Associated Press, citing sources in the Israeli Defense Ministry, the Israeli state-owned company Israel Aerospace Industries has expressed its intention to supply Azerbaijan with high-precision missile systems and unmanned aerial vehicles worth approximately $1,6 billion.

Reported missile defense systems and anti-aircraft missile systems. On the models and the number of weapons information yet.

It should be noted that in recent years, growing tensions have been observed in relations between Iran and Azerbaijan. As noted by RIA "News“In February of this year, the Iranian authorities demanded from Baku a ban on the use of the territory of Azerbaijan for the implementation of Israeli intelligence operations Mossad against the Islamic Republic. Iran accused Azerbaijan of collaborating with terrorists who attempted to kill Iranian nuclear scientists. According to the Iranian side, the Israeli secret services were supposedly given the opportunity to cross the border between Azerbaijan and Iran without hindrance.

Iranian authorities have long been known for harsh statements against Israel. Israel, in connection with Iran’s implementation of the nuclear program, fears for its security.

    Azerbaijan something with Iran was seriously amused. Round dances with Israel, it turns around, is it true that there are pink dreams about new territories, as if they didn’t have to lose theirs, they’ll play out.

      Well, they saw that many people get away with the Yusovites, they think that if they protect us, then they will do it. I don’t understand, do they seriously hope that they will get something?

      Serzh, salute, buddy! I think that on the part of Azerbaijan this is an attempt to break the vicious circle of supplies of identical types of weapons to two countries opposing each other, on the part of Russia! In the case of a hypothetical (I hope that this will be so - hypothetically - for many years to come!) conflict, after all, neither of these parties will be able to ensure superiority by waging a military operation with identical weapons laughing

          How? the situation there is worse than for Serbia in Kosovo, there are no Azerbaijanis in Karabakh, and the population is 100% armed. This conflict has no solution, it will sleep until Azerbaijan weakens and quarrels with its neighbors, then Karabakh will be recognized, how soon? HZ can in many years, Azerbaijan could buy everyone there to try it was more realistic IMHO
          This is the same as Russia’s capture of Poland, we’ll smash it, but how to keep it when the whole population is against it?

    I agree. They apparently decided to annex the territory of Iran with the help of amers and its allies. And if I’m not mistaken, then all the Soviet-made air defense systems. did they decide to rearm their air defenses with western models? But are they not afraid to share the fate of Georgia in 2008? Only the Iranians, I think, will not be as polite as ours and will try to destroy to the maximum objects of various purposes.

    The goal of Azerbaijan is Karabakh (Armenia), it can only bark at Iran.
    Azerbaijan is trying to create for itself a qualitative and quantitative military advantage in order to recapture the lost territories.

    Azerbots and Jews have the same mentality and craving for bargaining and usury, especially as the Asiks themselves say that their president has Jewish roots and everything is clear.

      So they have been under the Jews for so many centuries (Khazar Khaganate), that VERY OFTEN Azer can not be distinguished from a Jew. Not only in habits, but also in physics.
      And, considering that in large cities, the mazu and trade were run by Jews, then Baku is an 80% Jewish city.
      Here is what Platonov writes on this subject:
      "... Trade in Khazaria was exclusively in the hands of the Jews, whose main source of income was the trade in slaves from the Slavic lands. According to Ibrahim Ibn Yakub, the Jews exported from the Slavic countries not only wax, furs and horses, but mainly the Slavs. prisoners of war for sale into slavery, as well as young men, girls and children for debauchery and harems. Trade in castrated Slavic youths and children was practiced. For castration, the Jews equipped special institutions in Kaffa (Feodosia). For some time, the Khazar Jews subjugated the tribes of the Eastern Slavs, forcing pay their tribute. "

      So, the connection of Azeris with modern Iranians most likely goes beyond the time when the Jews finally subjugated the Azeris.
      I think that any Iranian who is equated with Azer will spit in the face of that nit that so thoughtlessly it will blurt out. And this is the minimum.

    Well, then I am afraid that we will have to fight with Azerbaijan (most likely as with Georgia, “forcing peace.” Since relations with them are slowly “straining.” I hope it will not come to that.

    Interestingly, not Azerbaijan will buy, but Israel will supply. Maybe this is the covert deployment of Israel's army from the north of Iran. Consider instructors, escort vehicles, etc., coming along with weapons. etc.

      All is correct. There is no state in the world that has not been so deeply assimilated with the Jews than Azerbaijan. It affects several hundred years of the reign of Jews in the Khazars.
      Before the Jews appeared in Khazaria, they bled and beheaded Persia. Hence the hatred of the Iranians towards the Jews. This hatred is almost 1500 years old.
      Therefore, I am surprised when they say that Iran and Azerbaijan are related.
      They are enemies. Since, as was said, Azerbaijan is Israel-2.
      Therefore, your clarification that Israel will supply the armament to the Azeri is absolutely correct. Jews arm fellow Jews against Persians.

    I don’t think that such purchases are due to Karabakh, it’s too much like preparations for larger-scale actions. After all, the desire to be renamed "North Azerbaijan Republic" did not arise out of nowhere, the territory beyond the Araks does not let you sleep peacefully, is the Iranian "South Azerbaijan" dreaming?
    And the Merikos and their sixes are happy to try - the more people who want to take part in the "derban" of foreign lands, the cheaper cannon fodder ... But thoughts about the return flow do not bother, the gentleman promised to choose his "beloved wife"?

      We have a lot of people screaming about the Russian Empire, this does not mean that we are arming ourselves to return to its borders, Azerbaijan is simply building an army that is at the level of Georgia and the loot allows us to have something better

        But no one came up with such an initiative in the Duma (renaming to the Russian Empire), it seems like all subsidized bros have budded after the collapse of the Union, whether everything needs to be returned backwards - time will tell ...
        And we arm ourselves because the "partners" have a heap of ambitious plans near our borders (missile defense, radars), such a movement is not observed near the borders of Azerbaijan.
        And the general orientation of the local authorities has not been too friendly for neighbors in general, and for Russia in particular, from recent events - an attempt to increase the rental rate for the Gabala radar by more than forty times.

    Israel, as always, silently catches fish with the wrong hands. Plays on the contradictions in the region. Recall that not only Ukraine supplied Georgia, Israel actively manifested itself. Now here it helps Azer. Well, the goals are clear - to strengthen, and conflicts can be different with Iran and Armenia. And it’s not about Karabakh. Look at the map. Together with Georgia, Azerbaijan is blocking Armenia from Russia. On which pressure will continue. And Karabakh, a small war that could knock Armenia out of Russia's partners in this region. As well as Georgia and Azerbaijan, a wedge also stands between Russia and Iran. How it can be used remains to be seen, but it can be imagined.

    I think Azerbaijan will not calm down... until it sorts things out with Armenia (returns its lost territories).
    Yes, and with the help of allies in the west and in the east, to strengthen their positions in the Caspian, also a tempting prospect.
    Moreover, there is money ..... if the Georgians did not create a bad army (which could compete with ours) for a lesser amount ... with the support of the same west .. then even more so Azerbaijan can create an advanced army for its region.
    There is money appear Ambitions ........

    Clearly a step against Russia if we want to force peace. One of the ways will be to gain superiority in the air, actually the new air defense will be against us. Although our OTRK I think will suppress most resistance points.

      Nuuu completely agreed, do you think the Turks or Iran is not more convenient to run into weak Azerbaijan? besides, they are culturally closer and it would be easier for them to suppress their internal resistance. Can you explain why Azerbaijan is hostile to Russia?

    Russia should balance the balance of forces, arms supplies to Armenia and Iran (for Iran, the air defense system) - the most optimal option in this situation.
