During the month and a half of the conflict in Karabakh, Armenian fighters never took off at all.

The media received information that despite the statements of the Armenian defense department about the use of Su-30SM fighters to perform various kinds of combat missions in the airspace of Armenia and NKR, in fact, these fighters never even took off because of the fear of Armenia lose them in a battle against Turkish F-16s or when attacking Azerbaijani air defense systems.

“According to the Israeli Channel 12, during the recent war in Karabakh, the use of aviation on the battlefield was minimized and did not reflect the tasks facing the parties. The Su-30SM fighters purchased in Russia for the Armenian Air Force, according to the journalist Ehud Yaari, were not involved in hostilities at all, and also because Azerbaijan has modern air defense systems. In this context, Israeli experts also cannot give a clear answer whether the Iron Dome and Barak-8 air defense systems in service with the Azerbaijani Armed Forces were used against air targets, noting that this was most likely not necessary. ", - about it сообщает "Telegram" -channel "Military Observer".

According to some reports, the fighters of the Armenian Air Force only changed their location on the territory of the country, however, they did not even approach the borders of Azerbaijan and NKR at a distance closer than 50 kilometers, despite the assurances of Yerevan, not to mention the fact that the Azerbaijani Su-25s were actively striking on the positions of the Artsakh army, demonstrating a huge gap in the air defense of NKR and Armenia.
