The recent Azerbaijan-Armenia war over the enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh also seems to be the cause of the current interest. The deciding factor that ensured Azerbaijan’s victory was the extensive military employment of drones in what has been one of those rare conventional wars in the last 15 years or more.
The proliferation of swarms will reverberate throughout the global community, as the proliferation of military drones already has echoed. In the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, Azeri drones proved decisive.
Ten ministers, leaders of the country, senior police and military officers, and the CEOs of all the major companies in the UAE will come to the event. In addition, there will be delegations from more than 50 countries including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar, Morocco, Slovakia, Azerbaijan and Croatia.

After the success of the Turkish Bayraktar TB2 drone in the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict, Ukraine bought the system from Turkey too. Providing drones and other weapons to a state creates a level of dependency for future maintenance, parts, and upgrades.
The strategic lessons drawn from the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict were not the dazzling use of drones but the importance of using airpower for close air support missions and battlefield interdiction strikes.
Off-the-shelf air power changes the battlefield of the future.
Turkey’s strategic victory in Nagorno-Karabakh will not help it to achieve a sustainable future within its neighborhood.

The Turkish military provided mountaineering training to Azerbaijani military staff, the Defense Ministry said Sunday.
The author discusses the use of drones in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict which eventually lead to Azerbaijan's victory as Azerbaijani Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles (UCAVs) and suicide/kamikaze drones were able to destroy heavy ground units, including T-72 tanks and advanced S-300 air defences.
Last year’s war between Azerbaijan and Armenia over the Nagorno-Karabakh region saw the former country afflict a devastating and decisive defeat against the latter through adept usage of sophisticated military hardware that enabled it to avoid becoming bogged down in a costly war of attrition.
“The imaginative employment of relatively low-cost capabilities is challenging highly capable air defense and electronic warfare systems or heavily armored forces, as we have seen in Libya and Nagorno-Karabakh respectively.”
“Israel accounted for 69% of Azerbaijan’s arms imports” in the most recent period, the report said. Azerbaijan recently fought a war with Armenia.
Even before the USSR disintegrated formally, Baku took steps to create its own armed forces given its conflict with Armenia over Qarabagh; and the Azerbaijani government insisted that all forces on its territory belong to Baku.
The annual report of the SIPRI institute sheds light on the export statistics of the world's largest arms exporting countries. The US increased its share at the expense of Russia and China.
The two companies will offer systems to meet the national defense needs of the Eurasian country.
Azerbaijan had deployed an Israeli-made defense system to shoot down a Russian-made missile that Armenia launched in the closing days of last fall's war over the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh.
Armenia launched at least one Russian-made short-range Iskander ballistic missile at Baku in November during the Nagorno-Karabakh war, but it was shot down by Azerbaijan, a senior official briefed on the incident told Middle East Eye.
