1/3 - New #Armenia MoD shows UAV coordination (very likely Russian-made Orlan-10) with artillery targeting Azeri units near Karintak-Shushi/a. Apparently the 2nd video showing such a UAV during the war. (see thread)


#nagornokarabakh #azerbaijan #russia
2/3 - Comparing the screenshots below, it is probably an Orlan-10 UAV, the previous video was on 4 November(. Screen configurations a bit modified on Russian video, but overall looks similar and consistant with other open-source reports of Orlan-10 use. ImageImage
3/3 - Here is a geolocation of at least one of the parts of the video, the location of the rest are inconclusive but very possibly right near it just above Karintak village. ImageImageImage

1/4 - AZ TV from #Azerbaijan was showing progress in #NagornoKarabakh during the war, as of 7 November, it shows Azeri troops around 13 km from Shushi/a city. It's possible the map isn't totally updated, but nontheless, it's worth looking into.
