1 Thread #Shushi Battle – #Artsakh vs #Azerbaijan
Shushi is a natural stronghold, protected by a cliff to the south. #Azerbaijani forces have reached town Southern outskirts coming from mountain roads, but can they take it ? =>2
2 Thread #Shushi Battle - From the West, access by the M12 road is very difficult because the road is on the side of a very steep hill, and the #Armenian forces are heavily entrenched there. Even taking Karin-Tak down the cliff will not provide a sufficient bridgehead
3 Thread #Shushi Battle - From the East, it is also possible to reach the town via the M12, but access is very difficult and prone to counter-attacks from Stepanakert. =>3
4 Thread #Shushi Battle - In addition, the mountain roads used by the Azeris to access Shushi will be inaccessible very early in winter (blue altitude> 1600m), and #Azerbaijan won’t be able to continue offensive without an alternative supply-road road. =>5
5 Thread #Shushi Battle - As a result, it appears likely that the Azeri offensive will focus first on controlling the Kirmizi Bazar road, or redirect its offensive towards Martuni and then Stepanakert. END
