drone
Baku. Habil Suleymanzadeh - APA. Azerbaijan and Israel are cultivating
lively military and economic ties, Israel's debka.com reports. The two
governments had reached terms on joint production of missile-carrying
drones. According to the debkafile's military sources, within the
next two months, the Azerbaijan army will take delivery of 60 drones
of two types.
The site reports about the serious efforts made by the regional
countries to get access to the Azerbaijan drone market. "On a recent
visit to Baku, the Secretary of Military Industry at the Turkish
Defense Ministry, Murat Bayar, tried to persuade the government to
buy its long-range Anka drone instead of the Israeli tactical aerial
vehicle", the site said.
Israel's Internet site reports that recently an Israel-made and
operated drone with Azerbaijan Air Force markings was downed over
the Nagorno Karabakh, and Armenians said the Azerbaijani drone had
been brought down "as a result of "special measures", but according
to the DEBKA-Net-Weekly's military sources reporting the incident
interpreted those "special measures" as a combination of Russian
antiaircraft officers who visited Armenian and then Nagorno Karabakh.
According to the site, Western sources believe Moscow had the
Azerbaijani drone shot down as a one-off incident for an objective
to halt the spread of Israeli influence in the region.
