THREAD on how Armenian multi-layer air defence on Karabakh was suppressed.
Operation Karabakh Coffer
Red: 24 Osa
White: 6 Tor M2KM
Bigger blue: S-300
Rest are various AD systems
1st step:
Aim: To destroy all OSAs in the first echelon
To alert all ADs, an initial imitiation of air attack was performed. Su-25s, helicopters, UCAVs and UAVs maneuvered in large numbers behind AD zones.
2nd step:
Modified unmanned (pilot ejected after take off) An-2 aircrafts were directed towards enemy zone in order to have ADs engaged into them.
3rd step:
As Armenia could have understood the game and take necessary measures, these An-2s were loaded with explosives, if not hit, they would dive into targets.
In this way, it was ensured that TORs were spending its expensive missiles and were busy.
This was achieved too
4th: Harops, Skystrikers and Orbiter-1k performed attacks on spotted ADs
5th: EWs targeted ADs in order to facilitate TB2s operations.
6th: Fake attacks performed using EWs against bigger ADs such as S-300
7th: 30km SpikeNLOS on helicopter flying low were fired at other ADs
As Air Force Commander describes, during the Operation Karabakh Coffer, as Armenia tried to open the Coffer, there was another in the box so they could not find an ultimate solution to Azerbaijan air attacks, thus she had gained almost all air supremacy

Besides the conflict between Azerbaijan-Armenia in Nagorno Karabakh, Azerbaijan has areas occupied by directly the Republic of Armenia, in Gazakh district - where I grew up for 18 years and my family also lives now. This story was not discussed during 44 days.
Gazakh has 168 km border line with Armenia, ~100k population in total, of which 20k live in the city, 80k in villages.
The occupation began as early as in 1990 March, nearly 2 years before Armenia started occupation in Karabakh.
In 1990/03, Bağanıs Ayrım, a village totally populated by 600 Azerbaijanis was attacked by Armenian militias in bandit groups. As it was during the SSR time, they easily siezed it as it was not defended and burnt whole village as soon as they entered. A family was burnt alive too
