The fall of the defense in the south of Nagorno-Karabakh was expected

137

For three weeks, journalists and authors of numerous jingoistic domestic and Armenian military-analytical portals, blogs and "Telegram" -channels continued to blindly report exclusively on successful defensive actions, and sometimes local "counter-offensive attacks" of mechanized units of the Army of Armenia and the Nagorno AO -Karabakh Republic in the vicinity of the settlements of Jabrayil, Hadrut and Fizuli, referring exclusively to the data provided under the appropriate sauce by the Armenian and Karabakh official sources (central media, as well as the representative of the RA Defense Ministry Artsrun Hovhannisyan). But the operational-tactical situation in Artsakh, engulfed in the next round of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict, is not developing in favor of Stepanakert and Yerevan.

Successful offensive throw targeting the southern regions of Artsakh. To the fanfare of the upcoming Armenian-Azerbaijani talks in Moscow


Despite the very effective actions of anti-tank subunits, as well as rocket artillery divisions of the NKR Defense Army both on the southern and northern fronts of the Nagorno-Karabakh theater of military operations, regularly confirmed in numerous video reports of Armenian and Karabakh military correspondents over the past three weeks, motorized rifle brigades 1 of the 3st and XNUMXrd Army Corps of the Azerbaijan Army (with direct aviation support from strike and reconnaissance drones "Bayraktar TB2" and IAI "Harop" kamikaze UAVs were still able not only to maintain combat stability and continue to develop the offensive in the northwestern ON (with the final capture of Jabrayil, Hadrut and Fuzuli), but also to carry out a sudden throw along Iran - Karabakh border (on the western ON) to an operational depth of about 35 km.



The tactical bridgehead formed in the course of this throw, covering a number of settlements along the Araks river bed, will already in the foreseeable future provide units of the Azerbaijani army (with appropriate aviation and artillery support) the possibility of carrying out offensive operations in the northern operational direction (along the Aker river bed) with the final establishment visual and fire control of the cities of Urekan and Vurgavan that are strategically important for the NKR AO, and then with the likely formation of a southern tactical "cauldron" with further access to the Lachin corridor, which is much more critical for Artsakh.

The possible implementation of this scenario by the Azerbaijani Army Command is indirectly evidenced by the fact that over the past two weeks of the next escalation round in the Nagorno-Karabakh theater of operations, fortified areas of the NKR Defense Army in Urekan, Vurgavan and a number of settlements located along the Berdzor-Vardanats highway are regularly subjected to missile -artillery strikes from the side of rocket artillery battalions and artillery batteries of the Azerbaijan Army. These actions of the Azerbaijani military formations can be interpreted only as "long-playing" and exhausting artillery preparation before the forthcoming assault on the backbone of the NKR southern grouping.

It is to such a disappointing conclusion that one can come even after a brief acquaintance with the operational-tactical situation in the Karabakh theater of operations, provided by the online tactical map caucasus.liveuamap.com with reference to local military correspondents and competent sources in the defense departments of Armenia, NKR and Azerbaijan.

Despite a number of compelling substantiations of operational-tactical and organizational nature, the above forecast is not final and may undergo dramatic changes in the event that the command of the Armenian Armed Forces immediately implements extraordinary tactics with the verified use of modern short-range air defense missile systems "Tor-M2KM" in network-centric coordination with medium complexes. range of "Buk-M2E" (instead of using only the outdated self-propelled air defense systems "Osa-AKM"), as well as other countermeasures that were never taken by Yerevan in the real theater of military operations.

                About Armenian terrorism, for example, about the explosions in the Moscow metro and shop in the 80s. and an attempt to arrange for the next year the explosions of dozens of guided mines on the columns of demonstrators on November 7 (the holiday of the Revolution). And also in the days before the Revolution, the Armenians were marked by numerous terrorist attacks against civil servants of the Russian Empire. Perhaps the Turks were somewhat right, having arranged for them a sweep in 1915 ???.

            If Russia has confirmed data on the presence of a terrorist group at a specific time and in a specific place, given the appropriate political moment, then this is not assistance to Armenia, it is the destruction of terrorists regardless of their location and affiliation, as is done, for example, by Israel, USA, France. The problem is that there is no concretely confirmed data. We have historical, good-neighborly relations with Azerbaijan. In addition, the latter denies the presence of such on its territory, does not ask for help in their destruction, and in fact is in an armed conflict not with Karabakh, but with another, the same “partner” of Russia.

          Despite the prophetic conclusions (many on the site), that the Azerbaijanis lost time (the blitzkrieg failed) and therefore, they say, their attack is doomed to failure, a completely different scenario is coming true.

          As well as I wrote. Having an overwhelming advantage in military terms, in technology and in human resources, Azerbaijan is not so important the factor of time and surprise.

          Azerbaijan may well lead the company slowly, rolling like a roller on a weaker enemy. What we in general observe. Russia has been fighting in Syria for the fifth year. And this does not prevent her from winning.

          The current success of Azerbaijan is quite natural and we expect, and our urya patriots again hit the sky with their fingers.

            In some ways I agree with you, in others I do not.
            The fact that the success of the Azerbaijani army in the south is natural and expected - yes. Too much resources are incomparable, from the word at all.
            On the other hand, time and surprise factors are always important. The fact that the Azerbaijani troops went over to squeezing out suggests that the initial plan for a quick breakthrough of the fortified area, followed by the encirclement of the enemy, failed. The pace of advance is about one to one and a half kilometers per day. If there were no losses, then - yes, such a decision would be quite justified. But there are losses, and they are not negligible. Those. it was not an easy walk behind the barrage, but quite serious battles.
            At the moment, the failure of the initial plan is not critical for Azerbaijan. The current losses are more critical for the NCR because they are much more difficult to replenish. Most likely, after the occupation of the lowlands in the south, the troops will push against the mountains and the conflict will drag on. The most logical thing to expect in November is an attempt at major offensives from the south to Lachin and Stepanakert, with a simultaneous renewal of actions in the north and the opening of a new direction in the east to pin down the NKR forces. Let's see how the opponents will behave in the mountains ...

            The "Urya patriots" turned away from the army, as did the rosy parting Armenian leadership. Therefore, they do not understand that with an overwhelming advantage in the air, heroic defense against a non-advancing enemy is not a reason for medals. It is simply a "shooting range" where the main types of weapons of the defenders are mowed down daily and methodically. And then, almost without hindrance, they occupy another city.

          We are accustomed to the gigantic size of Russia and its regions.
          Karabakh is tiny.
          Azerbaijan has advanced less than 40 kilometers in the south.

          For a prearranged operation for such a period and with heavy losses, probably not enough.
          However, the defense was quite serious and the terrain was difficult.
          Well, for an example.

Now, as it were, "we lost in the course of the war." I think that this cannot be forgiven. And the defendants must answer ... Commensurate with the murders that Aliyev and Erdogan carry out.

      "The Azerbaijani army liberated 24 villages in Fizuli, Jabrayil, Khojavend and Zangilan regions, as well as the city of Zangilan," Aliyev said.

The liberation of the village - 4 thousand inhabitants, which for some reason is called a city, is presented as a success of a strategic scale)))) Azerbaijan is advancing in the wrong place, but where it is easier. You will go to the border with Armenia, so what? What will Iran say about this?

                  Perhaps the IRGC was thrown over, although these are rumors, nothing more. Rather, just a reinsurance in the event of force majeure, or a hint so that they know the boundaries in the literal and figurative sense. Although, Aliyev has repeatedly stated that he does not pretend to be superfluous. And relations with Iran have been on the rise in recent years. Azerbaijan has provided Iran with a loan for hundreds of millions of Baku, is building shopping complexes on the Astara-Astara border, including on the Iranian part of the border, and many other facilities as part of the North-South strategic project. Sanctioned Iran needs good relations with its northern neighbor at this stage.
                  This is one of the reasons why I consider the "information" about Iran's shelling of Azerbaijani units as mere rumors.)

    Arming Baku with T-90 tanks, and then call for peace - how to sell a gun and cartridges to a neighbor who is drunk, and then call on him from behind the fence to prudence - to stop smacking at his neighbor for taking a piece of land from him.
    To the question - why did you sell him a weapon, to use handles and babble - so Erdogash's neighbor would then sell ...
    And so he earned money on the sale of weapons (indirectly involved in inciting the conflict) and participated as a peacemaker, this is petty - base.

    At the moment, this is far from the case. Until now, the Azeris have been advancing only along the Iranian border without fear of strikes from the Iranian side. However, their advance is very slow. After that (if everything goes well and they seize the border with Iran), they will continue their offensive by an order of magnitude more difficult. They must either march along the Armenian border or advance frontally on a wide front at the Armenian positions in the mountains.

        Would our base have been for a long time under Pashinyan's policy? Should we make relations with Turkey and Azerbaijan hostage to such a multi-vector ally? Armenia has made a number of political mistakes, and how an independent state will pay for them, but as time will show, we pay for our mistakes somewhere we correct somewhere we continue to make looking for the right approach and no one will do this for us and will not cover the costs for us. Why didn't Armenia agree to divide the NKR? After all, some of the territories there are not Armenian at all, of course, if you need to, let them take everything together with Baku, but then you need to rely on your strengths and capabilities and not rely on someone who will do everything for you.

This is some kind of completely alternative PR. Joseph Vissarionovich is treated differently, but in 1941 he did not give out the ranks of the marshal. And deservedly so. There is no reward for defeat.
    Or is Pashinyan so weak that with such steps he is trying to appease the army elite?

    You know, it is clear that Armenians have problems, but so far this does not look like an unsolvable dilemma.
    Fresh from Kitten, for example.
    Boiler in Zangilan
    Karabakh residents used Donbass tactics

    The desire of the Azerbaijani troops, pushed by Turkish advisers, to report to Ankara and Baku about the capture of cities and villages as much as possible during the hostilities in Nagorno-Karabakh turned into a collapse for the advancing side in the direction of Zangilan, where, as Aliyev announced earlier, the Azerbaijani flag was solemnly raised. The result is a cauldron for several units of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces, the destructive fire of the Karabakh art, killed and wounded Azerbaijani soldiers, abandoned bodies of soldiers and weapons, burnt skeletons of equipment. The enemy rolled back in the area of ​​the Khudaferin reservoir. A typical boiler according to the Donbass scenario and the failure of the Baku blitzkrieg No. 2.

      We will see. It would be nice (at least on a confessional basis for Christians, although our Russian guys should not die for Karabakh, while 3 million Russian Armenians are doing their best on the priest), but if this is not PR.
      To advance under conditions of enemy air superiority is very difficult and leads to large losses. Shooters are right - the Armenians were not ready for an obvious offensive here either.
      The second question is whether the Armenians have found at least some relatively effective means of dealing with drones. MANPADS - not really. And if they find it, will Iran give them to get it. Iran appears to be leaning towards Erdogan.

    The result of this Azeri-Armenian war will be a complete fall of Russia's authority not only in the Caucasus. Everyone has already understood that the CSTO is just an operetta organization that will not protect anyone from anything. Armenia will leave the Russian Federation, because there was no defense, Azerbaijan will ignore the Russian Federation, because it will make sure that it is much more profitable to act together with Turkey in spite of the Russian Federation and the Russian Federation cannot stop the offensive.
    The Russian Federation will be afraid to openly speak out against Turkey because of the possible closure of the straits in this case.

      The Russian Federation within the framework of the CSTO will protect Armenians only if they are attacked by an external enemy. Now the mess goes, in fact, for no man's territory and does not threaten the Armenian statehood.
      Azerbaijan does not participate in any integration processes with the Russian Federation anyway, so it will not move further than it can, although it has good relations with us. Even before all this, the Armenians headed for Europe and the United States, so now all their adventures are their own problems.
      Rather, it will all look like an exemplary punishment for the too willful Armenians who have forgotten that their existence entirely depends on good relations with the Russian Federation.

The CSTO is not Russia that will pay for everything, but you’ll help me, I don’t help you and I’ll think about it, by the way, like NATO and any other interstate agreement, and there is no reason for the CSTO, legally this is a civil war in Azerbaijan,

    if inadequate things are required, no one will defend.
    Armenia under attack? NO
    Was Armenia denied assistance with weapons, advisers, deliveries on credit, intelligence and other aspects? NO
    Did Armenia negotiate fairly with Azerbaijan? NO
    Armenia refrained from ethnic cleansing of Azerbaijanis, shelling of peaceful people in the squares? NO
    Is there a reason for the army to intervene legally? NO
    Even now, the Russian Federation is taking an active part in supporting and stopping the conflict.
    Can you find out where the Russian Federation deceived the expectations of the Armenians?
    Weapons don't work and don't do miracles? So maybe you should have thought about normal modernization, training of command personnel above the minimum? The Russian Federation could well have supplied such means when the UAVs would become ineffective.
    Now Azerbaijan is attacking in the south. The elementary availability of inexpensive mines in warehouses and the day they were laid could stop the breakthrough. Who is to blame that Armenia did not stockpile mines?

    For what did the Armenian authorities exchange sovereignty in the field of biological safety in 2008? Why do many international organizations know about the dubious activities of the US program to "reduce" biological threats, but prefer to remain silent about it? Why is the information about the registration of very suspicious sporadic outbreaks of infection, the causative agents of which are known as biological weapons agents, on the territory of Armenia, skillfully masked or hushed up? Grigor Grigoryan, an international expert on the control of zoonotic diseases and organization of veterinary health, the leader of the “One Health” coalition (Armenia), answered these and other questions of the EADaily correspondent.
    The beginning of the conversation was published the day before, March 24 - The Third World War has already begun, and its weapon is biological: an interview.

    In 1999, the "Agrogitaspur" department began functioning at the Armenian Agricultural Academy, which was funded by the US Department of Agriculture and provided technical assistance to farmers, agronomists and veterinarians in solving various problems, including in the fight against diseases and pests. In 2005, the department " Agrogitaspur was transformed into the Center for Agribusiness and Rural Development (CARD), funded by the US Department of Agriculture and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
    When did Armenia lose its sovereignty in the field of biological safety?
    - I cannot say exactly when, but I can say for sure that the situation with the sovereignty of the national biological security system in Armenia began to change after Serzh Sargsyan came to power in 2008. I also believe that the sovereignty of Armenia's national biological security system was, if not the main one, then one of the main demands of the United States in exchange for a restrained position regarding the events that followed his election as President of Armenia (Serzh Sargsyan - Ed.) And ended with the tragic events of March 1 2008 year.
    I am not familiar with the details of this bargaining, but I know that immediately after the inauguration of Serzh Sargsyan, substantial negotiations began between the United States and Armenia on joining the program to reduce biological threats.
    Already at the beginning of 2008, the Ministry of Emergency Situations (MES) was created in Armenia, which was supposed to be responsible for the implementation of the program in Armenia, and if I am not mistaken, at the beginning of 2009, the MES of Armenia and the Pentagon have already concluded an agreement on cooperation in the prevention of proliferation of production technologies, pathogens and biological weapons testing ”.
    Apparently this is precisely why Sargsyan became the first foreign president to be awarded the Ellis Island Medal of Honor in the United States.

    Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan was awarded the Ellis Island Medal of Honor for his contribution to the development of relations between the United States and Armenia. Sargsyan became the first foreign head of state to be awarded this medal in its 25-year history.

    Azerbaijan is advancing in the wrong place, but where it is easier.

    What else can they do? It's dumb to climb the mountains - it's hard, cold, and they can shoot from behind the bushes. And it is easier along the river valley, practically on the plain. Moreover, from above, everything that is in sight has already been cleaned out by drones - put yourself flags and spank stickers.

    I totally agree.
    I am sure that for more than two decades, the Azerbaijani military has considered many different scenarios of an offensive. In addition, many forget that Azerbaijan has not only drones, but its own satellites, and Turkey, most likely, provides intelligence information. I can assume that the main forces of the Armenians are visible at a glance.

    And also: "Moscow supports raising the status of Azerbaijan in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) to an observer," said Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov (26/08/2020).

    In addition, there is also a strategic North-South transport project from India, Australia and Oceania to the Scandinavian countries and where the key countries of the region - Russia and Iran - interact by rail through the territory of Azerbaijan (Yalama-Astara). And Russia, by the way, has repeatedly reported that this project has a branch to Turkey, again through Azerbaijan, since the latter is also in the center of the Silk Road from China to Europe, directly connecting Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan via the Caspian Sea with Turkey and Georgia).

    Pashinyan seems to be a product of a general simplification of thinking. It is not smart to believe that Russia will stretch out to the Karabakh mix immediately and completely. To believe that the task is still doable now is already nonsense. Aliyev will not cross the border of Armenia. Is that themselves, But then the same no support. And why did someone decide that the storming of Stepanakert would prompt Russia to get involved in this private mess? Armenian genocide in case of fall of Artsakh? It is excluded while Russia is "in shape". Note that there is no talk at all about the expulsion of Azerbaijanis from Artsakh in the 90s.
    Oh yes. Probably now, after all, rallies and petings about the betrayal of Russia will begin. And then some people will leave the CSTO "because of low efficiency." The main thing here is not to start "fighting" for an ally. Otherwise we'll lose. We have two ally (now four Aerospace Forces, Strategic Missile Forces). The rest are not even fellow travelers.
