Could Azerbaijan Survive a Russian Invasion? | Complete Azerbaijani Military Arsenal

Two Christmases ago a passenger jet left Baku for Grozny with 67 people aboard and lost its satellite navigation the moment it crossed into Russian airspace. Forty minutes later the cabin filled with holes because a Russian air defense crew hunting drones fired into the fog at whatever the radar told them was there, and two Russian runways turned the aircraft away before it went down 3 kilometers short of Aktau. Thirty eight people died, both pilots among them, and it took Moscow 16 months to agree to the word unintentional.

That is the country this video is actually about, a nation of 10 million people that buys Russian trucks and Russian rifles for the same army it now has to imagine fighting Russia with. Alongside that sits an air force built around a Chinese and Pakistani fighter, missiles from Israel, rocket artillery from four different countries firing the same shell, and a navy assembled almost entirely out of other people's castoffs. This video covers every one of those systems, what it does, and the real story behind it, from a rifle carried up a cliff at Shusha to a submarine crew that is never once dry inside.

⚔️ WHAT WE COVER

SMALL ARMS: the bullpup carried up the cliffs at Shusha, the underwater rifle built for combat swimmers, and the anti materiel rifle named after a warrant officer who never came home.

TANKS: why the T-90S spent the 2020 war hiding from drones, and the T-55 that got demoted to a howitzer instead of scrapped.

IFVS AND APCS: the BMP-3 that fires missiles out of its main gun, and the BTR-70 with an Israeli mortar bolted inside the hull.

ENGINEERING AND SUPPORT: the bridge that unfolds across a gorge in three minutes, and the flails still clearing a million landmines from the last two wars.

ARTILLERY: the gun that fired the missile that erased the Khudaferin bridge on camera, and the wheeled howitzer replacing thirty years of Soviet ammunition on purpose.

AIR DEFENSE: the S-300 that watched its own sister system get hunted down by drones, and the shoulder launched missile that killed two Russian airmen by mistake.

MISSILES: the strike on the bridge over the Arax river, and the cruise missile that turns a 1970s attack jet into a standoff launcher.

AIRCRAFT: the biplane crews flew into Armenian radar and then jumped out of, and the drone whose footage sold Turkish combat aircraft to half the world.

NAVY: the frigate with no backup, the missile boats that started as a response to an Iranian warship in 2001, and the midget submarines that are never dry inside.
