IT expert: Azerbaijanis more innovative in military sphere than Armenians

Vahram Martirosyan, the Armenian expert in the field of IT, has said Azerbaijanis are more innovative and inventive than Armenians.

"First of all, it is necessary to understand whether we are choosing the right armament to equip the army. Based on the experience gained, I believe that we should divide armaments into two categories: technological types and widely used general types of weapons. We mainly buy widely used general types of weapons," Martirosyan said in an interview with Armenian media, Caliber.Az reports.

"Certainly, we should acquire weapons such as artillery systems or armoured personnel carriers. As far as I know, we are also buying technological weapons from India.

“However, in any case, there is a risk. The risk arises because wars especially highlight the cunning of our adversaries and their tendency to use technology much more widely than we do. The fighting also shows that Azerbaijanis are more innovative and innovative than us. This may sound very strange, but it is a fact. And this is where the risk arises: when using weapons that are common to us at our technological level, we face something unknown, since the enemy is an unknown factor.

On the other hand, we know that Azerbaijan has cooperated and continues to cooperate with the best technology companies in the world, including Israeli, Turkish, Pakistani, Serbian, as well as other countries that we have no idea about. And the most important and dangerous risk is that we do not know what kind of weapons they are preparing for us.

Even during the war in 2020, we suddenly discovered that they have Bayraktar UAVs and they are using them. During the fighting in Tavush [Tovuzgala] they did not use such UAVs, and they had many other weapons that were not used, such as Su-25 fighter jets. During the 44-day war, they were used quite effectively, even more effectively than these very UAVs. Azerbaijani aircraft inflicted more damage than UAVs. Note how they innovatively used old Soviet AN-2 planes by upgrading them into drones. Now we, having the example of AN-2, do not know what innovation they will use," the expert said.
