Data on striking Russian Mi-24 helicopter over Armenia confirmed

November 9, 2020 416

Various information sources with links to the official structures of Armenia write about the fall of a Russian helicopter on Armenian territory. According to the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Armenia, a helicopter with Russian servicemen on board crashed near the village of Yeraskh. It is just a few kilometers from the Armenian-Azerbaijani border.

Armenian sources write that the Russian helicopter was probably shot down.

These reports are published by the "Sputnik Armenia" portal with reference to an unnamed source in the Russian military structures.

According to the latest information we are talking about the Mi-24 helicopter. Various media reports say that the Russian rotorcraft was attacked from the ground using a portable anti-aircraft missile system.

It is reported that two Russian servicemen aboard the Mi-24 were killed.

The updated data by the present moment suggests that the information about the loss of the helicopter over Armenia is confirmed by the Russian Ministry of Defense.

If the attack on the Russian helicopter was carried out with the knowledge that the car was Russian, then this is another reason to talk about the clear desire of individual forces to involve Russia in the armed conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh. In such a situation, the Russian authorities have already turned to the parties to the Transcaucasian conflict for clarification.

Well, it would be necessary to destroy several Azerbaijani targets in Karabakh, so that in future they will think about where they are shooting!
This pinwheel did not touch anyone and did not pose any danger!
What does it mean “she was flying close to the Armenian-Azerbaijani border”?
He was flying over the territory of Armenia!
Our guys died!

Statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan

According to information received from the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Azerbaijan from the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, on November 9 this year. at 18:30 a military helicopter Mi-24 of the Russian Federation was shot down on the Nakhchivan section of the Armenian-Azerbaijani state border.

In this regard, the following should be emphasized:

- the helicopter flight took place in close proximity to the Armenian-Azerbaijani state border, while active military clashes continue in the zone of the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

- the flight took place in the dark, at low altitude, outside the air defense radar detection zone.

- RF Air Force helicopters have not previously been seen in the specified area.

In the context of these factors and in the light of the tense situation in the region and increased combat readiness in connection with possible provocations of the Armenian side, the duty combat crew decided to open fire to kill.

The Azerbaijani side apologizes to the Russian side in connection with this tragic incident, which is accidental and was not directed against the Russian side.

The Azerbaijani side expresses its sincere condolences to the families of the killed crew members and wishes the injured people a speedy recovery.

The Azerbaijani side declares its readiness to pay appropriate compensation.

How will you compensate for the “corpses”....and by the way.....can you at least underline it in bold at least three times in bold....the flight took place over the territory of Azerbaijan? no - then your underlining is worthless.... The Russian Federation has already shown maximum patience and understanding

Why use the Mi-24 where a reconnaissance UAV is sufficient - like women are still giving birth to pilots?

P.S. As compensation, expel all Azerbaijani citizens from Russia and annex Nakhichevan to Armenia.

from which X of Armenia? if in the form of compensation, then to the Russian Federation - Armenia has no side here

A provocation - to fly in the area of the base and then blame if you came under fire. In general, most likely, they themselves shot down. Or Armenians.

Where is Karabakh and the fighting, and where the helicopter was shot down (arrow) - do you see the difference? I've already uploaded the picture here several times.

2 states are at war. Yesterday they did not shoot at this section of the border, today they can, the military is in the highest degree of readiness.

Of course they will shoot down wherever the base authorities are looking?

It is necessary to give such a response to Azerbaijanis so that there are no more such mistakes.
Needless to say, by your stupidity you turned on the CSTO protocol. Wait ...

Nakhichevan is part of Azerbaijan. 80% of employees at the 102nd base are Armenians. Losing the war for the territories occupied by Armenia, the Armenians committed a provocation in order to involve Russia in the conflict. A helicopter with Armenians serving at the 102nd base flew a kilometer from the border of the countries leading active hostilities, why did the authorities of the 102nd base not plot a safer route?

so stop......it doesn’t matter to me who the nationality of the Russians serving at the base in Armenia is...Armenians there or Azerbaijanis.....even the Zulus.....this in no way cancels the fact that the Ministry of Defense’s turntable was destroyed Russian Federation....read the syllables - Russian Federation

This means this is confirmation of direct aggression against Armenia, since the helicopter was in another part of the country, far from the fighting, on the opposite side from Karabakh, across the whole of Armenia.

There is no fighting in that area. Yeraskh is located practically on the border with Nakhichevan, in whose territory there has been no firing since the beginning of hostilities, and the Armenians have not fired towards Nakhichevan.

Here's how they shoot:
“The shelling of Ordubad by the Armenian armed forces shows that Yerevan is trying in every possible way to expand the geography of the conflict,” said Assistant to the President of Azerbaijan - Head of the Foreign Policy Department of the Presidential Administration Hikmet Hajiyev.
“Armenia launched a missile strike on the territory Ordubad district in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic. This is evidence that Armenia is trying with all its might to expand the geography of the conflict. Azerbaijani cities outside the hostilities are being shelled. All responsibility lies with the leadership of Armenia,” Hajiyev wrote on his Twitter account.
Earlier, the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan reported that the Armenian armed forces launched a missile attack on the territory of the Ordubad region of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic of Azerbaijan.
An operational-tactical missile fired on October 15 at 10:44 am by the Armenian armed forces from the territory of the occupied Gubadli region exploded in Ordubad region of Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic."

Revenge is a cold dish and not quick to prepare... Although it is a sin to say so (people died), I think that politicians should use this incident 200% in the Karabakh settlement issue. This jamb of Baku greatly strengthens the negotiating position of the Russian Federation.

Classic provocation of the Armenians. Who sent him there? It was generally expected. That’s why the Armenian bots were so animated during the discussion, but they were amused, the Armenians were rubbing their little hands. They are trying to lure Russia into the conflict, not by force, but by dragging it. Come on, they came up with...

Are the Russian military really stupid? What else is needed to install an electronic warfare system, for example, Vitebsk, Rychag-AV,.. to protect your helicopters. Incredible conservatism and slowness harms the reputation of the Russian army.

What kind of answer are we talking about? It's high time to understand that money rules the world. Azerbaijan will compensate for the helicopter, somewhere it will concede a little in the economic aspect and that’s all. The concept of “damaging the prestige of the country” is not considered at the top in principle. Well, the whole world once again received proof that our planes can be shot down and apologize, shoot down and apologize.

Our helicopter was shot down, the President, the Foreign Ministry and the Minister of Defense of Azerbaijan apologized to us, and they will pay compensation. The incident is over.

What our helicopter was doing there, approaching at low altitude to a strategic area in this region of Azerbaijan is unlikely to be given a public explanation.
It turns out that there is a narrow section of the border between Azerbaijan (Nakhichevan) and Turkey and a bridge across the river. There, most likely, are the positions of the Kasyrga MLRS intended to contain Yerevan, and there at one time there were fierce battles in the 90s, when Armenia tried to seize this territory. So we can understand the Azerbaijanis; their apologies were accepted by our side.

Stop making a blizzard about this and raising a pro-Armenian wave. Azerbaijan has done a lot for our interests in this war, sacrificing more than one thousand of its soldiers. Armenia had done a lot against our interests before. There are no beloved Armenians and unloved Azerbaijanis, there are Russian interests, a Russian citizen can only be pro-Russian and is obliged to take into account only the interests of Russia, regardless of his nationality and origin. If any of the Armenians, Azerbaijanis, etc., don’t like it - we live in a free world, they can always renounce our citizenship and take citizenship of the countries so dear to them, but while they are citizens of Russia, they are OBLIGED to defend Russia and her interests.

We are also gaining a foothold in Azerbaijan, we have our base in Armenia, the offices of American organizations were destroyed there, the days of the pro-American Pashinyan and his cliques are numbered, we control a significant part of Georgia. Transcaucasia is ours.
I wrote here or in another topic that the GDP, our Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defense did not do anything with a finger and everything that happened is another proof of this.
That's all, PERIOD. A CURTAIN.

How many years have you been in VO and do not know that there is actually a Russian base in Armenia?

Well, actually, the 3624th air squadron is based in Yerevan, which is about 55 km in a straight line. There was information that the helicopter was accompanying the convoy, then, in principle, its location 1,5 km from Nakhichivan is possible.

update the training manuals from Baku - your Foreign Ministry officials have already admitted that it was you who shot down a helicopter

But in principle the question was asked correctly. What the helicopter was doing there and what convoy (if this is true) it was accompanying.

Nothing will happen! Azerbaijan will apologize and ours will accept the apology and that's it. Everything will be like with the Turks after the downed attack aircraft and the killed ambassador, we will also build a gas pipeline and a nuclear power plant. Let's swallow and settle down
