ArmInfo. The Azerbaijani army has somewhat changed the format of hostilities - instead of the former mechanized units, mobile sabotage groups are now widely used. The official representative of the Armenian Defense Ministry Artsrun Hovhannisyan said this in an interview with Sputnik Armenia.
In his opinion, in many respects this may be the result of the colossal losses of Azerbaijan in armored vehicles and vehicles. I don't want these words to cause any kind of euphoria in our society, but the enemy no longer has combat-ready armored forces. They have now either joined the small infantry units, or not at all, "he said.
Presenting the overall operational situation on the front line in Karabakh, Hovhannisyan noted that for two or three days the hostilities in the Karabakh conflict zone have been unfolding in three operational directions - north, south and southeast. The latter direction was mostly calm, but now there is a significant activity of Azerbaijani sabotage groups. We are talking about a site north of Gadrut and south of Martuni. As before, intense fighting is going on on the southern flank. Here, separate sabotage groups, not without the support of mercenary terrorists, reached the settlement of Mijnavan, in the immediate vicinity of the Araks River and not far from the Armenian border. However, the enemy has no chances to advance here, the representative of the RA Defense Ministry said.
