If Armenia had a dozen F-35s with a good stock of LGBs, I am sure they would have gotten the edge on azerbaijan regardless of how many drones the other party uses.
- baybal2 6y agoThey had! They were just terribly afraid to lose them when the battlefield was so tiny, air was full of near disposable targets, and capable air defence had a field day.
- sn_master 6y agoOne of the main points of the F-35 is not having to worry about air defense because of its Stealth capabilities, and the LGBs it can carry. Do you have an idea what kind of air force either party had? Was there anything post 1980s non-upgraded Soviet era jets in Armenia? Wikipedia is showing only four Su-30SMs and 13 Su-25Ks (both are the older non-modernized variants). That's their entire fighter force according to Wikipedia!
- baybal2 6y agoBoth sides had post nineties upgrades for Su 30, and Mig 29, and they could've risked using them, but chose not to. Both sides didn't even bomb each other's airfields for real. Most drones were launched, and operated in the field.
