Apparently a number of An-2 have been converted to drones by Azeris. They are being sent to bait the Armenian SAMs/radars to expose their positions. 

 

There are a few videos of them getting shot down in broad daylight, flying slow and straight.

If it is real thing then it is utterly stupid to disclose it on twitter.

It seems the Armenians know they are drones.  Here a tweet from their MoD about a case today

The Azeri's claim they have destroyed an S-300 system (by loitering munition). A twitter account supportive of Armenia claims it's a system "blown-up in Russia" in 2016. No idea if there is any truth in either claim. Why would an S-300 system have been blown up/damaged in Russia? (link: https://twitter.com/517design/status/1311349201981321219 )

The Armenians just now are claiming their S-300's have downed 2 Azeri missiles. Possibly fired in retaliation for Armenian Tochkas.)

Tweet from March with same pics of the Azeri claim. Trying to dispel the myth that it was in Syria that time.

Thanks for the clarification.

The games of claim and counter-claim have begun...

100 years on and the Turks are gearing up for genocide and/or population transfers of Armenians.

And that does not change the fact, that the likelihood of the Azeris having no problems with the concept remains high.

Armenian northern front seems to be under heavy pressure. Constant plinking of assets by Azeri UAV left firstly stripped them most of AD assets. Then they have shifted the pressure to tanks, artillery  and supply trucks and lately even just infantry groups. Pushing from the north created pressure on the supply line from Armenia towards Martakert via Armenian M11. It  might no be cut, but certainly under direct fire. Magadiz to the north of Martakert was captured today as per Azeris.  The other major supply line via (via M12 further south) is also under as a bridge over a river was bombed with the Israeli made LORA ballistic missiles. Result not known.

Local Artsakh/Karabakh Armenians seem to be at great pressure as the president of Artsakh  himself went to the front lines today. So  far Russia seems to be playing hard to get as they don't like the current leadership or Armenia proper.

It's mountains, so good defensive terrain, but without significant heavy weapons support it might be become asymmetric.

It seems the southern bridge is still  standing although damaged.

I noticed that despite dozens of dead reported and documented each day, there are very few if any prisoners of war.

I haven't followed the conflict closely, but is there any infantry fighting? It seems that mostly the conflict is about artillery and air strikes. These can cause casualties but not prisoners.

It seems the Azeris only have drone footage to display, the Armenians keep releasing footage from the front line.
