In an interview with the French newspaper Le Figaro, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev named the country's main arms dealer.
“We buy weapons from many countries, but most of them are purchased not from Turkey and Israel, but from Russia. Unlike Armenia, we pay for Russian supplies. Armenia receives weapons from Russia free of charge. We also buy weapons from Iran, Ukraine and Belarus, “Interfax quotes a statement from the head of state.
Aliyev added that at present, Baku “has the opportunity to purchase modern weapons.”
In September, Defense Express reported that the Azerbaijani armed forces in Nagorno-Karabakh used the Bayraktar TB2 Turkish strike-reconnaissance drone and the Israeli SkyStriker loitering ammunition.
In the same month, The Drive wrote that the Azerbaijani military destroyed at least six 9K33 Osa air defense systems and three Soviet-designed Strela-10 air defense systems in Nagorno-Karabakh.
