Armenia claims 16 downed Azerbaijani Air Force helicopters, but shot down only one

Azerbaijan has not lost a single helicopter in Karabakh.

The Ministry of Defense of Armenia was accused of disseminating inaccurate data regarding the losses of the neighboring side. So, according to the report of the Ministry of Defense of Armenia as of November 7, 2020, since the beginning of the conflict, the Azerbaijani Air Force lost 16 helicopters and 25 aircraft, however, in reality, the statistics are not in favor of Armenia - Azerbaijan recognizes the loss of 11 An-2 aircraft, which were flown in unmanned mode (one crashed due to technical problems - ed.), and the Azerbaijani side has no losses among rotary-wing aircraft at all - in 45 days of the conflict, the air defense of Artsakh and Armenia destroyed only one Mi-8 helicopter, although the rotary-wing machines were used to strike.

“During the counter-offensive operation, the Azerbaijani Armed Forces lost 1 Mi-8/17 helicopter, 11 AN-2 aircraft (used to open the Armenian air defense system), 11 IAI Harop kamikaze UAVs, 2 SkyStriker kamikaze UAVs, 1 Orbiter kamikaze UAV 1K, 2 Bayraktar TB2 attack drones and 8 unidentified drones. However, such low losses of kamikaze UAVs raise questions, since the videos themselves, disseminated by the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan during this time with their participation, are much larger. ", - about it сообщает information publication "Reporter".

Earlier, Armenia also announced several downed combat aircraft of the Azerbaijani Air Force, and a number of sources in Artsakh even claimed the destruction of the Turkish F-16.

"Considering that Armenia had S-300 complexes, the almost complete absence of losses in the ranks of the Azerbaijan Air Force indicates that the complexes at least did not see their targets.", - the analyst notes.
