In the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, a modern contest of weapons is quietly unfolding. Can Indian artillery or Chinese rockets change Armenia's victory or defeat in this war? Both sides are sparing no effort to buy high-tech weapons, which makes the situation even more complicated and surprising.
The reason for the defeat of Armenia: the inability of Indian artillery to play to its superiority
Lack of adaptability: Indian artillery may not have adequately adapted to Armenia's terrain and tactical needs. The complexity of the battlefield environment and the difficulty of the mountainous terrain may have limited the operation and accuracy of Indian artillery. 1.2 Lagging in technological updates: Indian artillery may not have undergone the latest technological upgrades, which led to a gap between its performance and modern military requirements. In modern warfare, there is a growing need for high-precision strikes and rapid deployment, which Indian artillery may not be meeting these needs.
Inadequate operational strategy and battlefield command: There may be problems with the tactical deployment and coordination of Indian artillery. On the battlefield, the command system and supporting tactical training are crucial for the effective use of artillery. If Indian artillery fails to coordinate with other arms of the Armenian army, its combat effectiveness will be seriously affected. 2.2 Legacy Logistical Support: Artillery logistics support and maintenance are very important, however, due to technological lag and outdated equipment, India may not be able to provide adequate logistical support for its artillery, thus limiting its combat effectiveness.
International Political Pressure: India may have come under political pressure and intervention from other countries in the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan. This external pressure may have limited the movement and use of Indian artillery, thus affecting its combat effectiveness.
Insufficient manpower and resources: Sending a large number of artillery artillery to support Armenia requires huge human and material resources. However, India may face the problem of insufficient manpower and limited resources, and cannot fully participate in the Armenian conflict, which affects the effectiveness of the use of artillery.
The reason for the defeat of Armenia: the superiority of the Chinese rocket in Azerbaijan
During the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, China exported to Azerbaijan a number of strategic rocket systems, including the striking TR-107 heavy rocket launcher. The TR-107 is capable of launching missiles of 300mm caliber, has a long range and great lethality. Its appearance undoubtedly aggravates the Armenian threat, since Armenia lacks effective means of defense against such powerful firepower.
The TR-107's long range allowed it to easily cover most of the territory of Armenia. Armenia has a unique geographical location and is surrounded by Azerbaijan and has serious disadvantages in the region. And the range advantage of the TR-107 means that Azerbaijan can attack Armenian targets from a longer distance, increasing Armenia's defense difficulties.
The TR-107 is very powerful in firepower. The system is equipped with missiles that can carry various types of warheads, such as high-explosive warheads, incendiary explosive warheads and scatter warheads. Among them, high-explosive warheads can cause great lethality to ground targets, while scattered warheads can effectively destroy enemy personnel. These warheads have a wide range of kills and are capable of destroying or even destroying enemy lines, making it even more difficult for Armenia to effectively defend against an attack.
During the war, the TR-107 also demonstrated its high degree of mobility and rapid deployment capabilities. This advantage allowed Azerbaijan to drag rocket systems to the front line in a short time and quickly launch firing. This made it difficult for Armenia to react quickly and take corresponding defensive measures, increasing the difficulties of Armenia's defense.
The reason for Armenia's defeat: the defeat caused by the equipment gap between the two sides
In the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, the equipment gap between the two sides is obvious. The Azerbaijani army has advanced fighter jets, drones, tanks, and other military equipment, which play a huge role on the battlefield. In contrast, Armenia's equipment is relatively backward, especially the lack of air defense systems and modern weaponry. This equipment gap directly affects the combat capability of the Armenian army.
Tactical limitations due to equipment gaps Equipment gaps limit the tactical flexibility and freedom of the Armenian army. UAV technology in Azerbaijan is very developed, through which they are able to accurately detect and strike at the positions of the Armenian army, inflicting huge casualties and pressure on Armenia. Due to the lack of effective air defense systems in Armenia, they cannot effectively defend against the aerial threat of Azerbaijani UAVs, which limits their tactical actions and makes them more vulnerable to enemy strikes.
Strategic Challenges from Equipment Gaps The equipment gap not only limits Armenia's actions at the tactical level, but also poses a huge challenge to its strategic plan. Azerbaijan's advanced equipment gives it better intelligence gathering and information transmission capabilities, which allows a more accurate understanding of the location and strategic intentions of the Armenian army. Armenia's inadequate equipment and relatively backward intelligence technology made it impossible for them to effectively resist the attack of the Azerbaijani army, making their strategic plans easily intercepted and cracked by the other side.
Analysis of the causes of the equipment gap The reasons for the equipment gap can be analyzed from many aspects. First of all, Armenia's military spending is relatively low, which makes it difficult for them to invest in advanced weaponry and technological development. Secondly, Armenia's domestic industrial capacity is relatively weak and cannot meet the needs of its military equipment. In addition, international relations have also had an impact on the formation of equipment gaps, and some countries may be biased in favor of Azerbaijan, putting Armenia at a disadvantage in equipment procurement.
Armenia's defeat in this war was not without cause, but the result of a combination of factors. Although the arms race between the runner-up buying Indian artillery and the Afghan army buying Chinese rockets may have had an impact on the tactical strength of both sides to some extent, the victory or defeat of a war usually depends not on the quantity or quality of armaments and equipment, but more on factors such as the strategic command of the army, military tactics, and the quality of soldiers.
Armenia's defeat has also attracted widespread attention and comments from readers. Some believe that Armenia's failure to prepare for the battle and adequately assess the enemy's strength led to military mistakes. Other readers point out that Armenia did not receive sufficient international support in the war, which put them at a relative strategic disadvantage. In addition, it is believed that there are certain problems in the internal political situation and army management in Armenia, which also brings difficulties to the improvement of combat effectiveness.
