The ‘Magic Bullet’ Drones Behind Azerbaijan’s Victory Over Armenia
By October 3, Azerbaijan already claimed to have destroyed 250 armored vehicles and a similar number of artillery pieces, plus 39 air-defense systems including an S-300 air-defense system. The destruction of air defenses is particularly significant: once these have been knocked out, the drones can pick off targets at will.
A similar situation occurred in Syria in June, where again Turkish Bayraktar TB2s apparently destroyed dozens of Russian-built anti-aircraft vehicles. Russian Defense Minister Krasnaya Zvezda suggested this might be because of a ‘dead zone’ at very low altitude where the Russian systems have difficulty engaging targets.
