Another video seen in social media these past few days, apparently showing a Karabakhi soldier being forced to scream "Karabakh is Azerbaijan" under duress by Azeri soldiers, appears to be atop an OSA 9K. Could be from the 2020 war, but unconfirmed. Fate of soldier unknown.

Nagorno Karabakh defence forces have now been disarmed, Russian peacekeepers accompanying Azeri officials in different areas of the territory to verify it. What is next for the local ethnic Armenian population remains uncertain, although many seek to leave the territory

Armenia finalising deal to obtain Thales Ground Master 200 air defence radar and possibly MBDA air defence missiles. In itself, not enough for deterrence, but it does shift the geopolitical orientation of Yerevan to now receive high tech weapons from the west.
