An important reason for Armenia's defeat in one day was that it was fooled by India and did not buy Chinese weapons
Armenia and Azerbaijan are now fighting again, but in 24 hours a day, Armenia has failed miserably, and some people say that one of the important reasons for this is that it was fooled by India and chose Indian weapons instead of Chinese-made weapons. This decision may have been one of the key reasons for their failure.
Within 24 hours of the start of the fighting, Armenia suffered a crushing defeat. Azerbaijan declared a complete victory, and this is not only empty words, they really achieved all the goals of the military operation in a short time. The Armenians were forced to cease fire unconditionally, the Armenian army had to withdraw to their country, and the local armed forces were disbanded and all heavy weapons were handed over. The failure of the Armenian side is obvious.
A key reason for this failure was Armenia's mistakes in the choice of armaments, particularly in its decision-making on arms procurement. Have they been fooled by India? Or did they make a serious mistake when buying weapons?
First, let's see where this battle takes place. This theater is actually not large, with a total area of just over 4,000 square kilometers, equivalent to the size of a county seat in China, and the actual battle line is less than 200 kilometers. This means that this area is ideal for a wide range of weapons such as small and medium-sized drones and rocket launchers. Azerbaijan was fully aware of this in the last conflict.
Azerbaijan has adopted an advanced strategy, armed with Turkish-made TB2 drones and Israeli Harup missiles. These weapons have performed very well in this small-scale conflict. And what about Armenia, they chose the wrong equipment, probably on the advice of India. They bought a large number of Russian Su-30SM fighters, but these fighters are clearly not suitable for use in such a small area.
What is even more puzzling is that in terms of ground firepower, Armenia actually bought Indian AATGS self-propelled howitzers. This self-propelled gun practically did not provide much advantage, and it was very difficult to use in rough mountainous terrain. This does not correspond to the trends in modern military, and this self-propelled gun has practically no role in conflicts.
At the same time, Chinese-made TB2 drones and rocket launchers played a key role in Azerbaijan's success. These weapons have performed well in the conflict and pose a great threat to Armenia. However, Armenia does not seem to have learned the lessons of the previous conflict, and their wrong choice of weapons may have contributed to its failure.
However, it is important to understand that weapons are only one factor that affects the tide of battle. Armenia's defeat was also influenced by other factors, such as geography and military strategy. Despite the importance of weapons, to succeed in a conflict, other factors need to be taken into account.
In general, Armenia's defeat this time may be related to its choice of weapons, but also to other factors. Hopefully, they will learn lessons and make smarter decisions to improve their chances in future conflicts.
I believe that this incident reminds us that the right choice of armament is essential for national security and strategy. Countries need to choose suitable weapons and equipment according to their own needs and actual conditions, rather than being misled or blindly following the trend. It is also a crucial step in safeguarding national interests and maintaining peace. In the selection of armaments, it is essential to fully understand and assess the performance and suitability of different weapon systems. When countries are under threat, smart armaments decisions can make countries more confident in meeting the challenges. It was to be hoped that all countries would learn from Armenia's lessons and ensure that their military preparations were practical and adapted to real needs. This will help to maintain peace and stability and protect the interests of the country.
