I still kinda find it crazy was this because of the drones ? And what if the drones where never used would it still be possible to get from jabrail and fizuli to zangelan and qubatli as fast as they did and what could’ve Armenia done to at least make it harder for Azerbaijani advance. I’m in the front line was being built for like the past 30 years and how come the northern front froze? After talish and matagiz/sogawushan but broke in the south if the Armenian forces had a good anti-air weaponry that was able to defend against drones how hard would it be for the Azerbaijani troops to advance or this? Could there be a stalemate?

Its combination of russia peacekepers being useless, azerbeijan state economy booming through oil and non existent economy of karabag. To my understanding their defense was the same as during the first war.
To me entire thing felt like operation “storm” in which croatia took krajina. Everyone knew it was gonna happend at some point but politicians on defending side were delulu

It’s not just drone usage, in some battles for strategic heights for example Azerbaijanis were outnumbered and couldn’t utilize UAVs due to foggy weather and conditions, but were able to out-maneuver the opponent. Also for better or worse, I’m still shocked at how YOLO some units were in terms of their movements… The veterans and their families in general really need better support, in every country really but especially in AZE given the grifting.
Azerbaijan had almost 30 years to prepare for this war. They poured billions of dollars in oil money into building an army technologically and numerically superior to whatever Artsakh and Armenia could muster and got to test the defenses in 2016. They also timed it during the US elections so that the West couldn’t really respond. It was a very patient and calculated move that finally paid off.
And yeah, the way drones were used in this conflict took the whole world by storm.
yes. 30 years plus 44 days…
With Israeli drones
Apperantly giving “modern digital helmet covers” to conscripts with WW2 era helmets and Soviet stockpile Aks older than their fathers isnt a good idea in 21st century.
Armenia didn’t militarily back Artsakh which made it significantly easier for Azerbaijan to invade. On top of that Azerbaijan had Turkish support and Turkish mercenaries from Syria fighting on their behalf too.
30 years of preparation/planning, Turkish/syrian assistance, Israeli weaponry. Under internatoonal law Armenia not really allowed to provide any sort of assurance to previous Artsakh due to them playing fine line of it not being “part of Armenia”
Cuz Big Brother was leading the army. Glory for BIG BROTHER!
Big support from turkey and israel
