Turkish press: An-2 aircraft of the Azerbaijan Air Force that revealed Armenian air defense calculations were manned
During last year's autumn battles in Nagorno-Karabakh, it became known about the massive use of An-2 aircraft by the Azerbaijani Air Force to identify the locations of the Armenian air defense systems and their calculations.
Then the An-2 confidently flew over the positions of the enemy, despite the anti-aircraft fire of the enemy. It was stated that there were no pilots on board the aircraft. It was believed that their management, as in the case of drums drones Bayraktar TB2, carried out remotely.
However, recently in the Turkish press, information was disclosed that contradicted these arguments. As reported in the edition of Clash Report, An-2 took off with pilots on board. The pilots took the aircraft to the course, after which they left it by parachute. The enemy began to fire at it, revealing himself. After that, the shock UAVs eliminated the disclosed target. In the picture, the Pantsir-S air defense missile system appears as it, with which the Turkish military has long-standing accounts.
As world practice shows, evacuation from aircraft is often accompanied by injuries and even death of pilots, especially if they are fired at from the ground.
Therefore, it becomes clear the reason for the large number of dead enemy pilots.
- in turn, it is noted in the Armenian edition of the Armenian Military Portal.
