Armenian armed forces use Tochka-U tactical missile system during battles
By Trend
The Armenian armed forces used the Tochka-U tactical missile system during the ongoing battles in the Nagorno-Karabakh region, Trend reports on Sept. 30 citing the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry.
"The launched missiles did not explode because the military equipment belonging to the Armenian armed forces was outdated and of poor quality," the defense ministry said.
Armenian armed forces launched a large-scale military attack on
positions of the Azerbaijani army on the front line, using
large-caliber weapons, mortars, and artillery on Sept. 27.
Azerbaijan responded with a counter-offensive along the entire
front. As a result of retaliation, Azerbaijani troops managed to
liberate the territories previously occupied by Armenia:
Garakhanbeyli, Garvend, Kend Horadiz, Yukhari, Ashagi Abdulrahmanli
villages (Fuzuli district), Boyuk Marjanli, and Nuzgar villages
(Jabrayil district).
Moreover, the positions of the Armenian armed forces were destroyed
in the direction of Azerbaijan's Agdere district and Murovdag,
important heights were taken under control.
Back in July 2020, the Armenian Armed Forces violated the
ceasefire in the direction of Azerbaijan's Tovuz district. As a
result of Azerbaijan's retaliation, the opposing forces were
silenced. The fighting continued the following days as well.
Azerbaijan lost a number of military personnel members, who died
fighting off the attacks of the Armenian armed forces.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. As a
result of the ensuing war, Armenian armed forces occupied 20
percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and
seven surrounding districts.
The 1994 ceasefire agreement was followed by peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented four UN Security Council
resolutions on the withdrawal of its armed forces from Nagorno
Karabakh and the surrounding districts.
