Turkey issues own version of incident of exploding aircraft in the sky
over Karabakh
The Turkish press has issued a new version of what happened in
connection with an unmanned aircraft that exploded in the sky over the
Nagorno-Karabakh. The report noted that in the images distributed by
the Armenians there is no distinguishing mark belonging to Azerbaijan.
The newspaper "Sydzhak Gyundyam" notes that unmanned aerial vehicles
were presented in Azerbaijan at a military parade in Baku on June 26
this year. They displayed the flag of Azerbaijan.
According to a source close to the Turkish diplomatic service, the
downed drone belonged to the armed forces of Israel.
"The drone took off from a military base in Armenia or on the
territory close to the occupied Nagorno-Karabakh region and carried
out a reconnaissance flight in connection with Iran. So on the
occupied lands of Azerbaijan, the Armenians have begun to not only
establish a transit area for drug trafficking and a terrorist base,
but also a base for conducting covert operations and military
intelligence", the source said.
The same source said that Israel has conducted reconnaissance drones
over all the countries of the Middle East. However, on this subject
some questions remain. For example, why was an incident which occurred
on 12 September announced two days later?
It should be noted that the Armenian side claimed that the drone
belonged to Azerbaijan. However, the images of the plane does not look
as if it was hit. There is no trace of fire or being hit by a
projectile. But seen in another way, the device was destroyed only due
to collisions on the ground.
Another assumption is the fact that in the video of the crashed
vehicle an emblem is visible of the company "NovAtel", operating in
Canada. The newspaper reports that "NovAtel" produce systems with
greater precision. Israel has purchased from this company DGPS systems
for a new generation of "Hermes 1500", "Hermes 900" and "Hermes 180"
unmanned aircraft. Israel only sold to Azerbaijan devices such as the
"Hermes 450". They, in turn, do not use the system of "NovAtel".
The Azerbaijani Armed Forces use UAV Hermes 450 (1994) drones of
Israeli production. The downed drone in Nagorno-Karabakh was a
Hermes-180.
The press service of the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry earlier reported
that the crash of the unmanned aircraft on the occupied lands has
nothing to do with Azerbaijan.
