Azerbaijan vs Armenia [Nagorno-Karabakh conflict]

This is the video used by the Azerbaijanis to claim they captured the hill...



General is not wearing flak vest. Check
Reporter is not wearing flak vest. Check
No sound of shooting/shelling. Check

I can even hear birds singing in the background....

The Azeris may have captured a hill....But, for sure it is not this one.

Here is about the village of Talish that the Azeri forces attacked and kept control of for one day.
It was taken back by our forces.
Reporters went in and saw this:

Talish after one day visit of Azerbaijanis.

Attention. Brutal shots

The village Talish of Artsakh / Nagorno Karabakh/ was under the control of Azerbaijanis just for one day, but that was enough for them to massacre the peaceful inhabitants. They shot Valera Khalapyan and his wife Razmela to death in their home and then cut off their ears. Azerbaijani soldiers also executed Marousya Khalapyan, born 1924.

Various reports indicate that some of the tanks Azerbaijan has lost are T-90S models.
Also reports that they started using TOS-1 on our positions.

Massive shelling by Armenian forces,



Edit: Apparently the video is from few months ago.

Armenian defence ministry say that this morning in the South an Azeri formation was surrounded and "liquidated" with the enemy retreating having suffered heavy losses in men and equipment, 5 or 6 tanks is stated. Also 2 tanks have been destroyed in the Southeast and in the Northeast 3 tanks. http://news.am/rus/news/320447.html

Already posted, there is nothing to indicate that these are indeed Azerbaijani soldiers.

This is a few months old footage.

Your own defence ministry admitted that Azerbaijan indeed gained lands.

Reporters went in and saw this:

A cheap propaganda way of saying "we got it back" and "murderous barbar Turks are executing our civilians".

TheArmenian wrote:There are reports that we are continuing our counter attack, have taken back al the lost positions and are even capturing territory on the Northern front.

And Azerbaijan says that it still retains those positions. This is the same Armenian military that only "remembered" a day later that it had lost its positions.

Thanks for posting it.
I will add some explanations:

Filmed from an Armenian UAV.
Artillery strikes on Azeri positions. The recorded voice in Turkish (the language Azeris speak) is talking about their losses, wounded etc.
@ 2.46 min. Subtitle in Armenian: "Poor Askars (soldiers in Turkish) are dying while their big-talking leadership is keeping quiet about their losses"
@ 3:03 min. Subtitle in Armenian: " The Azeri commander is running away by car, leaving his men to the caprice of luck"
@ 3.25 min. Subtitle in Armenian: "Poor & pitiful soldiers are being killed while their big-talking leadership keeps quiet about losses"
@ 4.28 min. Subtitle in Armenian: "Enemy weapons depot is targeted and hit"

Dear Raccoon,

Does this whole thing remind you of Donbass?

This thread is going to be super hard to manage, if the flare up isn't going down any time soon. Notably because both sides in this forum are Mega Patriotic. Like Even Albanian Super Patriot doesn't qualify.

Anyway, I hope it stops, because both of you k*nts (you know who you are) are valuable posters and I hate seeing good people getting into these things.

About losses - during the battle of Britain RAF pilots claimed more kills than Luftwaffe had aircraft -casualty tallies are always a source of great confusion. Just don't make wild statements until more info comes out.

Walther,

It is against the forum rules to openly post images of the dead. Please edit your post.

In the fiction you are referring to, both of the characters you referred to specialized in writing fictions. Here, however, only the Azeri side is a famous writer of fictional works; the Armenians probably understate their gains.

Can someone please check this to see if Attila has been right this time around or not? Not that it really matters as far as the conduct of the actual war is concerned.

Yup, and on top of everything we have new guy called Armenian (welcome and introduce yourself here https://www.russiadefence.net/f6-member-introductions-and-rules) in addition to TheArmenian.

But I would not throw too much scorn on those three guys, after all their countries are shooting at each other as we speak so I would give them some wiggle room here and there until this blows over...


And some wise words from Murad:

Word of warning: take everything you hear about #Armenia/#NKR vs #Azerbaijan with a grain of salt. All sides delirious with propaganda
