Since the Second Karbach War, there has been repeated talk of the efficiency of Israeli unmanned aerial vehicles in the service of Azerbaijan, against which Armenia has not found an answer.
Today (Friday), however, in an interview with the Russian "Oborona" website, Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev referred extensively to the UAVs, which he also thought were the tip of the iceberg - leading to the liberation of the territories occupied by Armenia since the first Karbach war.
"We started purchasing the drones a long time ago, more than a decade ago," said President Aliyev. "These were Israeli-made devices.
We soon put them into active service, already in 2016. This led to a surprise among the Armenians.
However, it is important for me to note that we were not interested in exacerbating tensions, as we did not want to promote a major military operation. "
The president of Azerbaijan notes that in 2016 they began purchasing "suicide bombers" made by Elbit, made by Elbit. "Now it's no longer a secret," he says. "We do not intend to hide it.
We also purchased UAVs for photography and intelligence gathering. "
At the same time, Aliyev referred to the purchase of Turkish UAVs, but regarding the many Israeli means in Baku's service, he adds that "strategic targets and large military bases were attacked with the Arup, while military vehicles and other targets were attacked with the ByRectar TB2.
"Suicide drones are once-in-a-lifetime means, so the targets selected for the attack are carefully selected."
