Defense Ministry: Armenia once again used combat UAVs
By Rashid Shirinov
Armenian Armed Forces once again used combat unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) against Azerbaijan Armed Forces units, Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry reported on June 22.
The ministry noted that due to their poor quality, the UAVs used by Armenian armed forces did not cause any harm to the Azerbaijani troops.
The Defense Ministry also warned that adequate retaliatory actions of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces will be devastating for the enemy.
Earlier in the day, the ministry reported that the Azerbaijani Armed Forces destroyed an Armenian UAV attempting to carry out reconnaissance flights over the Azerbaijani positions in the Tartar direction of the front.
Armenia broke out a lengthy war against Azerbaijan by laying territorial claims on its South Caucasus neighbor. Since a war in the early 1990s, Armenian armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan's territory, including Nagorno-Karabakh and seven surrounding regions. More than 20,000 Azerbaijanis were killed and over 1 million were displaced as a result of the large-scale hostilities.
Armenia has not yet implemented four UN Security Council resolutions on withdrawal of its armed forces from the Nagorno-Karabakh and surrounding districts.
