`The jet ascended from the military base located in Armenia or
occupied Karabakh to make the reconnaissance flight related to Iran.
The Sicak Gundem newspaper reports citing diplomatic sources that
pilotless reconnaissance jet which crashed in the Azerbaijan's
occupied lands belongs to Israel, rather than Azerbaijan.
The newspaper says that there were no signs of its belonging to
Azerbaijan, judging from the footages and materials in Armenian press.
Some moments deserve special attention in the investigation related to
the event. The anonymous sources close to Turkish diplomacy claim that
the pilotless jet belongs to Israel.
The newspaper says that according to the diplomatic office, the
pilotless jet belongs to the Israeli air forces: `The jet ascended
from the military base located in Armenia or occupied Karabakh to make
the reconnaissance flight related to Iran. Thus, the occupied lands of
Azerbaijan are used not for the drug transit and as a terror base but
turned into a military base for the secret operations and military
reconnaissance'. The source also said that Israel currently holds
reconnaissance operations by means of pilotless jets over Middle
Eastern countries.
The newspaper further writes: `It arises some questions, especially
why the event of 12 September was made public two days later?'.
The article says that Azerbaijan displayed its drones at a military
parade held in Baku on 26 June. The flag of Azerbaijan was depicted on
these aerial vehicles.
`The reports that Armenians stroke unmanned aerial vehicle of
Azerbaijan seem to be senseless while looking at photos. `The
destroyed plane' does not seem to be stricken on air. There is no fire
and holes caused by shells. Everything is obvious - the vehicle was
destroyed as it hit the ground.'
In a separate claim, the video aired by Armenians show that the
crashed unmanned vehicle had an emblem of Canada-based NovAtel on some
of its parts. The source told the newspaper that NovAtel manufactures
high-precision devices. Israel has purchased DGPS systems for new
generation Hermes 1500, Hermes 900 and Hermes 180 drones from this
company. Israel has sold only Hermes 450 and NovAtel systems were not
used in these vehicles.
Azerbaijan mainly displayed Aerostar and Orbiter-2M drones in the
military parade. Azerbaijan is also said to have bought Hermes 450
drones from Israel.
