Armenia denies claims of loss of air assault battalion commander

136

The situation developing in Transcaucasia is such that the armed forces of Azerbaijan are making attempts to restore full control over the 7 regions under the actual control of the enemy, and the Armenian side is trying to prevent them from doing so. As you know, heavy equipment is actively used in the conflict, including Tanks and heavy flamethrower systems. And shelling is being conducted not only at the positions of the military, but also at settlements.

It is clear from the reports that neither Yerevan nor Baku has yet heeded the calls for an immediate end to hostilities. Instead, the sides in their reports announce how many units of equipment and enemy soldiers were eliminated in two days of fighting.



Thus, the Armenian Info Center publishes a graphic showing that the Armenian armed forces managed to destroy 4 helicopters, 49 drones, 80 armored vehicles, including tanks, 82 army vehicles and 1 aircraft.



The Azerbaijani side calls such reports false. Earlier, the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan made a statement that there were no aircraft losses in the country's Armed Forces.

It is reported about the activation of the Armenian diasporas in different countries of the world. One of the largest Armenian diasporas lives in the United States. The reports say that in Los Angeles, ethnic Armenians gathered in front of the city hall with an appeal to the US administration "to intervene in the situation and influence Azerbaijan and Turkey."

Meanwhile, Azerbaijan is reminded that the war is taking place on their territory and that the soldiers of the Azerbaijani army did not violate the borders of the neighboring state, unlike the enemy.

O. Vartanyan, Senior Analyst of the Crisis Group Agency for the South Caucasus:

We haven't seen anything like this since the turning of the fire in the 1990s. The fighting is going on in all sectors of the front.

Armenia commented on the Azerbaijani statements about the loss of the commander of the air assault battalion Lernik Vardanyan in the area of ​​the Talish settlement. The Armenian side called these statements disinformation. It was noted that "in this way the enemy wants to bring confusion into the ranks of the Armenian troops, but he will not be able to do this."

          Well, in truth, it still began with the Gobachov. the same kakrabakh, vilnius, tbilisi. the first mass riots and riots began in 1987. then there was still much that could be fixed. hard crushing these sprouts. but .... those in power did not draw any conclusions, they appointed the military and security officials as extreme. now we just have what we have. and even now the foreign and domestic policy of the Russian Federation is extremely inconsistent, if not completely contradictory. we do not bring anything to the end. this is our misfortune. even if we say for once "A", then then not only "B", but we do not put a comma either. we see the consequences all over practically the perimeter of our country. it would be good to be mistaken, but I am afraid further again Kyrgyzstan and Georgia are on the agenda.

From the transfer and the already successful disposal of the best Idlib barmaley, to the return of the prodigal Pashinyan to the pope. Weapon contracts from both sides. We have already set up Armenia, something interesting under blue tarps.


      Deliveries of turks go through Georgia, and ours go through Iran. Compare the weight of the ally wassat We also have a failure of the rate on a drone strike without the support of classical aviation. And this without the use of modern electronic warfare, the old OSA coped.

        By the way, the Armenian Wasps, even in range, do not block MAM-Ly. Plus there is a problem with radar detection of small and sedentary targets.

          When a tank moves, it gets an ATGM in a bochin and its ammunition detonates - this is one thing, but when something stands in the trench and is observed from a drone, there is a high probability that it is a dummy. This is called decoy. In the Russian Federation there is a whole production of such an economy. Unfortunately, this cannot be seen from a drone, and if there is no detonation of the ammunition load, then it’s a penny for this shooting.

          It looks like the truth. By the way, can you track the confirmed losses somewhere? Is there a more or less sane source? And then when both sides each other for a couple of days, several tank battalions in losses, and the number of UAVs exceeding their available number in general, they do not pull at all. request By the way, about the turntable, it seems like the Azeri confirmed that they had lost mi8, not mi24.

      Of course Turkey Yes .
      Almost from the very beginning of Azerbaijan's independence, Turkey has actively participated in the formation and improvement of the combat capability of the Azerbaijani army. Back in 1992, the countries signed an agreement "On Solidarity and Cooperation", after which regular deliveries of military equipment and annual joint maneuvers began. Actually, Ankara played a key role in developing the modernization of the army of the Transcaucasian republic. Therefore, it is not surprising that after Baku's unsuccessful July attempt to provoke a new conflict in Karabakh, Turkish-Azerbaijani military exercises were announced.

We recall the arrival of Pashinyan (a protege from Washington) with the slogans - down with the invaders: It is more believed that Pashinyan is fulfilling the requests of the owners

        The conflict in NK has been going on for a long time, and I am sure that the plans of the military departments of both participants were measures in case the situation aggravated .... Azerbaijan obviously planned exactly as we see ... But, in Armenia, which is also obvious, there was not bad intelligence. . (again, they themselves had + maybe helped).
        At the expense of the mercenaries of the Turkomans from Syria - a statement was made about them from Armenia, clearly inviting Russia to the conflict ... But were these mercenaries? Recep, of course, fell for a mess and is ready to support Azerbaijan (or maybe this guy was "pushed" to this - it was not difficult). The director of this action calls Russia into a conflict in order to confront it with Turkey ... By the way, it is strange that Pashinyan rushed to call Putin, and not to Washington or Paris ...

      British The Guardian reports on the recruitment of Syrians to carry out "security" tasks in Azerbaijan.
      According to journalists, men from Turkish-controlled areas of Syria are hired under the "guise" of an unnamed PMC to ensure the security of observation posts and oil and gas facilities.
      Directly on the spot, the recruitment is carried out by functionaries of the pro-Turkish terrorist group "Sultan Murad's division", which actively fought in Libya on the side of Tripoli.
      The Syrians are offered contracts ranging from 3 to 6 months for 7-10 thousand Turkish lira per month, which is significantly more than they could earn at home.
      The transfer is carried out through Turkey and further by the forces of the Turkish military to Azerbaijan. At the same time, the recruitment periodically stops and resumes depending on the instructions of the curators from the Turkish intelligence.

            They write that only Syrian Turkomans agreed to go to Azerbaijan. The Arabs avoided participation, for them this war is alien in all respects, for them Azerbaijanis are not who they are not co-religionists (Azerbaijanis profess Shiite Islam), not a kindred people.
            Syrian Turkomans are the main support for Turkey in Syria, it is doubtful that Ankara will use the Turkoman fighters whom it nursed, cherished and protected as best it could in Syria, like cannon fodder in Azerbaijan!

      If we consider this in the context of the global confrontation between the "collective West" and Russia, then everything falls into place: it did not work out to wreak havoc in Belarus, the "departure" of Sisyan is laughter. So it flared up in Karabakh.

      What does the backyard of Russia have to do with it ?! Enough to look at everything that happens in the world through the great imperial prism. There is no need to start trying on the role of the United States. One state, the other took away seven regions and does not want to return them, stating that this is a buffer zone in front of Karabakh. Note these areas are not part of Karabakh. And Azerbaijan first of all wants to return them and I think it will return them. Their case is right. If your neighbor takes your balcony and does not allow them to dispose of, then his return will become a damn goal of your life. Do not deny others the right to justice. And you don't need to think that this is a war of intrigue by someone against you personally or against the Russian Federation. They don't give a damn about everything and everyone and our ambitions there now. They have a goal, they go to it and now they will not notice anything around, as with the effect of tunnel vision.

          There is no one to clean up in these areas. I repeat, the regions were taken from Azerbaijan and were populated by Azerbaijanis before the seizure. As a result of the fighting in those years, everything there was destroyed.
          And nothing was restored. You cannot live there, there is nothing and no one lives there. Only the military positions of the Karabakh army are located there. So there is no subject for dispute. The APU / SBU is not the topic. Ask where they discuss it.

              You probably don't understand. Look at the map. All 147 live in Karabakh. We are talking about the border regions of Azerbaijan, which are not Armenians, not Karabakh Armenians never considered their own and were not going to settle them following the example of Israel. These areas are UNPOPULATED NOW.

                Everything is clear - but firstly, Azerbaijan speaks about the return of Karabakh itself, not only those regions. Secondly, the buffer zone was also created for a reason, by occupying this zone they will either create a threat to Karabakh itself, or they will be vulnerable from Karabakh in this zone, this is an even more unstable situation. In addition, as far as I understand, this zone, among other things, cuts off Karabakh from Armenia itself, correct if you lied.

                Yes, I forgot the most important thing, about
                What does the backyard of Russia have to do with it ?! Enough to look at everything that happens in the world through the great imperial prism.

                So the events there directly affect Russia. There is also a military base. A distant outpost, and the opportunity to get involved in the war ourselves. And the opportunity to quarrel with the neighbors, which are important for Russia. And most importantly, Russia does not need there, first of all, American or Turkish bases.

                  But, it will be later. In the meantime, Azerbaijan's actions to return undisputed lands
                  cannot be disputed by anyone. The buffer zone was created by Armenia and Azerbaijan will not be vulnerable if eliminated. On the contrary.

      Over the past few years, Turkey has seriously changed its military-political strategy, expanding its influence in the Balkans, the Middle East and the Caucasus.
      Ankara intervened in the war in Iraq, Syria, Libya, formed a Middle Eastern army of pro-Turkish militants, came into conflict with European countries over the division of influence in the Mediterranean and, in fact, prepared a military foothold in the Caucasus.

          You can't be a little bit pregnant. And the status quo in that region is exactly it. There are in fact 3 options. Freeze this conflict again, but as we can see, both sides are unhappy with the state of affairs and freezing does not help. Help Armenia, because an ally in the CSTO, but then we go into an open conflict with Turkey, breaking a bunch of economic and military-political projects without getting ANYTHING in return. Or does someone believe that Armenia will compensate us for the losses from confrontation with the Turks? Well, the third option is not to interfere, let them figure it out. Limit interference only by preventing the active participation of the Turkish Armed Forces in the conflict. Which is essentially what we are doing now. For both sides of the conflict are not friends to us in any place. Of course, if our leadership were worse, there would also be a fourth option. To restore the status quo, established at one time in the Transcaucasus by the Red Army. Come and return both sides of the conflict to the bosom of the empire. But it doesn't seem that our current leadership needed that empire. So under the current conditions, I do not see any advantages from open interference ...

            Please Alex hi
            It is tough to ask the CSTO the question that this organization is not an empty image undertaking, but can defend. This is very important, since security is the only factor that today keeps Armenia and the Central Asian states in Russia's sphere of influence and protects them from the destructive influence of the Anglo-Saxons.
            Next, step up military action in Syria.
            Invite representatives, oppressed by the Turks, Kurds to negotiations. This is in response to the fact that Turkey, unlike Russia, which called on the parties to show restraint in connection with the situation in Karabakh, clearly expressed its support for Baku.
            Azerbaijan and Turkey are "one people - two states," Erdogan said

            Also through the media and authorities at all levels, incl. force, to prevent in this conflict to ensure the triumph of one religion over another, which is fraught with the strengthening of Islamic extremism, which is critically dangerous for Russia. No one has canceled Erdogan's threat to blow up Russia from the inside in the Islamic regions.

        Turkey has the second largest army in NATO after the United States. And they are NATO members. If your scenario is considered, then it may have unpredictable consequences. It is necessary to prepare for such offensive operations in advance and think about what to do with this later, after the army has entered the territory of a sovereign state. What results will this lead to, even from the point of view of the same country's economy?

          I commented on an article in which the author complains that the guys from Base 102 will have to partisan when Turkey enters the hostilities. I stated my view that any stirring about the Russian military will lead to the disappearance of a state like Azerbaijan. And only Aliyev and Erdogan will have to partisan together.

            I understood, but I'm afraid it's not that simple. From a purely military point of view - yes, this can be done, but from a political and economic point of view - it is unlikely due to the dire consequences of this action

              Meanwhile, Azerbaijan fired at a military unit in the Vardeni region of the Republic of Armenia. Naturally, before that, having issued a statement that the Armenians from the territory of the Vardeni region fired at the Dashkesan region in Azerbaijan. Now there will be a harsh response from the Armenians. A quite possible further scenario: shelling of Armenia from the territory of Nakhichevan, retaliatory shelling of Nakhichevan by the Armenians, Turkey's statement on the need to protect Nakhichevan in accordance with the Moscow Treaty of 1921 and Turkey's attack on Armenia. Further, Armenia's appeal to the Russian Federation in accordance with Section 4 of the DOKB and the clash between the Russian Federation and Turkey.

                  In my opinion, this will not end soon and as follows: either Armenia will border on the new state formation on the territory of Azerbaijan along the river. Kura, or Armenia will disappear from the world map. Erdogan, having provoked Aliyev into this adventure, violated dynamic homeostasis. I have not heard that there were Turkish names in the works on systems analysis. This means that the consequences are calculated no deeper than the second level. As for the Armenians, they are faced with the fact: either you win or disappear as a state. In this sense, it is much easier for them to make the right decisions.

    The point is not whether he died or not, the point is, but what the hell is everyone doing? Is it really not clear to the Armenians and Azerbaijanis that using their contradictions, the striped and their six want to create in the Caucasus a zone of constantly smoldering armed conflict in spite of Russia, which does not see an end and edge like Afghanistan? And those perishing on both sides will be the very firewood from which it will only flare up. Well, people think with their heads.

    Aliyev apparently had no options to calm down the supporters of the war in Azerbaijan and the Turks, once he decided on this armed conflict, now he is loyal and needed by the Kremlin, apparently Pashinyan's position on pro-Russian issues will change, he will be more accommodating with us, and a plus in probable purchases of our weapons and military equipment by both sides, so from the point of view of politics and economics, this conflict is beneficial to Russia, unfortunately this is how the world works

    and what prevents our Russian government from stopping these bloody showdowns on the territory of the USSR, after all, this can be done without death and destruction, well, which of the republics will fight the Russian army is simply absurd; why in Moscow they look at all this from afar - yes, because there are no Russians there, that's why

    I myself would like to know what is hindering our government !!!! I don't know what prevented our government from putting an end to Georgia in 2008. elections are coming soon in Georgia and the anti-Russian intensity is going off scale !!! we have laid a mine under our side for very many years. but it was very simple to do everything intelligently.
    I do not know what prevented the government from bringing the "Russian spring" to its logical conclusion in eastern Ukraine. after all, it was very easy then to support the creation of Little Russia as part of the Kherson, Kharkov, Donetsk, Lugansk, Nikolaev and Odessa regions. EASY!!! sanctions??? so we already got them fucked up. and more ogreb. not in them it comes out. weakness and indecision. apparently so.

    Quote: Don Karleone
    Who benefits from the war on the outskirts of Russia, I think Caucasians should understand that they are being used, turn on your head, strain

    Of course Turkey Yes .
    Almost from the very beginning of Azerbaijan's independence, Turkey has actively participated in the formation and improvement of the combat capability of the Azerbaijani army. Back in 1992, the countries signed an agreement "On Solidarity and Cooperation", after which regular deliveries of military equipment and annual joint maneuvers began. Actually, Ankara played a key role in developing the modernization of the army of the Transcaucasian republic. Therefore, it is not surprising that after Baku's unsuccessful July attempt to provoke a new conflict in Karabakh, Turkish-Azerbaijani military exercises were announced.
    There are many myths and you have voiced almost everything.

    From the very beginning, from gaining independence, Russia was training personnel.

    The deliveries of military equipment and equipment from Turkey were and are scanty. The fact is that Azerbaijan does not use small arms and artillery weapons of NATO standards, of which Turkey is a member, and, accordingly, its military-industrial complex produces products of NATO standards and calibers. In addition, on most of the heavy equipment produced by Turkey, components and assemblies of European or American production are used, for example, tanks, self-propelled guns, helicopters, respectively, their deliveries are simply impossible, since they are blocked by the countries of manufacture. And for example, there is no point in buying Turkish towed howitzers, where there are no imported components, for Azerbaijan, again, we have Soviet calibers and standards, that is, all 122mm and 152mm howitzers, there is no point in 105mm or 155mm howitzers adopted in NATO countries. So the maximum possible is light wheeled armored vehicles, which, although they have units structurally borrowed from American or European off-road vehicles, are completely produced in Turkey. Turkey supplied communications equipment, etc., plus it has now supplied shock UAVs.
    We all produce equipment in our factories.
    Everything else is bought in the countries of the republics of the former USSR and in the countries of the former Warsaw Pact, why, again, because we have USSR standards.
    The training of military personnel is carried out on their own and in their own training centers, officers are trained in their own universities on the basis of the former Soviet BVOKU and KVVMU, as well as mainly in Russian and, to a lesser extent, in Turkish schools, and both countries, Russia and Turkey, carry out training for us for FREE. Why to a lesser extent in Turkish I hope there is no point in explaining - the same story as with weapons, for example, with rare exceptions, all the weapons and equipment of the Air Force and Air Defense in our country are Soviet and Russian.

    There is no need for any fighters from Idlib or from somewhere else, and it just makes no sense. There is no need for Turkish special forces either. UAV operators have been preparing for a long time in their own training center, by the way one of the best, for those who do not know, let me remind you that UAV production was launched in Azerbaijan long before the first Turkish one took off.

    Turkey is a big country, it has one of the most numerous ground forces in NATO, the second largest after the US, Turkey is a brotherly country, BUT ... You need to understand that today the Azerbaijani army is more than sufficient for the Transcaucasia, many simply forget that the same Azerbaijan is smaller than any not the largest region of Russia, Armenia is even smaller, and Karabakh and the occupied regions around it are generally microscopic territory by Russian standards. In addition, before Russia supplied the S-400 to Turkey, our air defense was, if you take it in proportion, much better armed and more powerful. The situation is the same in many other areas, in general we have more modern tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, small arms, ATGMs, etc.

    Azerbaijan is a priori stronger than Armenia, we have a more powerful economy, a larger population, a larger and better armed army. Armenia was able to win the first war thanks to internal political problems, in other words, the struggle for power in Azerbaijan in the period after the collapse of the USSR and nothing more. Stories about some kind of barmaley from Syria and the like, special forces or the Turkish Air Force, just an attempt by the Armenian side to justify the failures, to belittle the role of the enemy, continue to blow about the heroic Armenian soldier and stupid asker - somewhere on a bench near the entrance to Muhos-nsk such conversations Of course, they will pass and fall into fertile soil if, instead of brains, fertilizers, but ... In reality, one should not deceive oneself and one had to realize that peaceful initiatives, moreover, the plan approved by Russia, were the best possible options. Armenia and its leadership believed in impunity and the ability to pull the cat by the scrotum for another half a century, ignored the warnings of Russia, their partner and ally, and with the change of leadership, they turned their backs on Russia.

    Of course, now everyone uses the situation in their interests, Azerbaijan is seeking justice and cleansing its territory from the occupiers, Turkey demonstratively taking a pro-Azerbaijani position is gaining more and more points, Russia is replacing the Soros fosterling, BUT only the United States wins. What was done cannot be returned, the war began and as soon as it began both Russia and Azerbaijan lost. Whatever the outcome of the war, Armenia will be cut off from Russia, in fact Russia will be driven out of the Transcaucasus. The Americans did not come up with anything brilliant here, they just played along with Russia, well, they won, as they did more than once before, the last example is Ukraine. The weakening of Russia in general or specifically its positions in the Transcaucasus is unprofitable for Azerbaijan, given the influence and size of the Armenian diaspora and lobby in the United States and Europe, it is Armenia that will become the outpost and support of the United States in our region, many talk about history, but forget history, then they will be surprised by the turn Yerevan by 180 degrees. If Russia is unable to turn the tide in Yerevan, Armenia will join NATO either together with Georgia, or even earlier, despite the fact that the Georgians have been sitting with outstretched hands at NATO headquarters in Brussels for many years. But NATO does not shine for Azerbaijan, and first of all because of Turkey, which is tolerated there only because of the number of ground forces and a favorable geographical position.

    in Los Angeles, ethnic Armenians gathered in front of the city hall calling on the US administration to "intervene in the situation and influence Azerbaijan and Turkey."

    If the members of the Armenian diaspora themselves do not want to intervene in the situation and influence Azerbaijan and Turkey, preferring Los Angeles to the trenches of Karabakh, then why should people completely alien to this conflict intervene in this situation? This is some kind of massive psychosis they have, in my opinion.
