NKR Army of Defense units acted in an organized way, effectively used the necessary means of defense and deterrence of the enemy. The brave Armenian soldiers and officers fought a successful battle against the enemy forces in excess of ten times and won. The Azerbaijani side has different patterns of modern weapons, but experience has shown that it is important not the fact of weapons possessions, but the ability of their application.
We have seen in these days of the war that the Armenian soldier uses capabilities of his weapon completely. Will we have another weapon, we will grasp this technique as well. During military exercises within the framework of NATO or CSTO our soldiers have always shown good results. The year before we won the second place in the tank biathlon worldwide. Is this a coincidence? Of course not!
During the fighting we have seen a high degree of moral training of our soldiers. The whole world is surprised – how it is possible to destroy a helicopter by a grenade?
Tank is just a metal!
It is natural that a large number of enemy tanks Տ-90 was destroyed. Our soldiers have learned the strengths and weaknesses of this tank. Our soldiers acted faster than the crew of the helicopters and tanks.
Tactics
Evidence suggests that the Azerbaijani side for a long time was getting prepared for this operation, purchased a large number of modern technology, but did not consider the factor of the Armenian soldier. The enemy used everything, and if, instead of an Armenian soldier would have been a soldier of another nationality, to be honest, I doubt that he would have survived.
The war showed that the Armenian army is a professional army. It’s not just words, it is a reality!
