BMC has secured armored vehicle contract in Azerbaijan, most likely either for Border Patrol or Internal Forces, both branches operate more 300 Turkish armored vehicles. Most likely a 200+ vehicle order for both branches.

Great thread, good going to the Azeri bros.

Azerbaijan shows strong interest in the new Buk-MB3K, Azerbaijan already operates the Buk-MB, and the newer version will provide a good replacement for Soviet S-125 systems.

Bro, I recommend that you consider the OPSec-PerSec rule for your personnel safety. You can cover their faces before adding.

these photos are from MoD directly, if they don't cover their faces, then there is no need.

Ceska Zbrojovka is currently studying the possibility of opening production facility in Azerbaijan for both domestic and regional demand, this potentially marks 4th foreign defense company establishing production in Azerbaijan.

it was mentioned by Air Force Colonel during an interview, at 10:05, probably won't understand, but you can hear him mention Lanza

Would a coin aircraft like Hurkus, A-29, or B-250 fit Azerbaijan's needs? Once air superiority is achieved and HIMAD SAM systems are taken out you can send this things in for CAS and ground attack because of their high flight altitude which is well out of range of 99% of infrared missiles that Armenia posses which are mostly older Soviet MANPADS with flight ceilings of 10-15 thousand feet. It would much cheaper to operate than the Su-25 and can achieve a similar role.


From Wikipedia the information I found stated that Armenia has these SAM systems.

S-300PM Soviet Union mobile SAM system- This could be a threat and should be a very high priority for Azerbaijan to take out immediately.
9K33 Osa Soviet Union mobile SAM system- This system reaches an altitude of about 39000 feet which is above the flight altitude of small turboprop attack aircraft like these.
S-75 Dvina Soviet Union mobile SAM system- This system should also be a high priority for Azerbaijan due to its long-range and coverage.
2K11 Krug Soviet Union mobile SAM system- This system is antiquated but could still be a pretty big threat for these aircraft.
S-125 Neva Russia mobile SAM system- This system could be a threat to aircraft because you have to remember in the Iraq war when it shot down a relatively advanced F-16 while being very old.
BUK-M2[25] Soviet Union mobile SAM system
Strela-10[26] Soviet Union mobile SAM system- Non-threat unless very low flying.
2K12 Kub Soviet Union mobile SAM system
Air Defence Artillery
ZSU-23-4 Soviet Union mobile- Non-threat due to low altitude engagement.

Personally I would say Azerbaijan will and should launch SOM missiles at strategic targets like SAM systems for instance.

I think Azerbaijan would go for the armed Hurkus because of their relationship with Turkey.
It isn't the best type of turboprop-coin aircraft on the market but I think it would work well for Azerbaijan.


There are other planes like the B-250 with a good amount more of hard points around the system and a bigger carrying capacity but as I said before Azerbaijan has a good relationship with Turkey.

From what I can count this airplane has 2 more hard points for weapons.

amazing information by him,

he says in latest training with Turkey, Turkey especially asked to test their f16 with Azerbaijani s300.
He said even though Turkey had special system in their f16, s300 could lock in in long distances every single time. He also said that Turkey said many thanks for the test and commented that they learned a lot from this test.
