The Azerbaijani drone, shot down on Wednesday, was destroyed due to joint efforts of air defense forces and radio warfare. According to Nikolai Babayan, Chief of Armenia's Air Defense Forces, Azerbaijani drones often fly along the contact line. However, this time it crossed the border and was destroyed. He stressed that henceforth any planes or drones of the Azeri armed forces that attempt to violate the border, will be shot down.

Chief of Armenia's Air Defense Forces noted that drones arenot only hard to shoot down but also to detect. It is because they are built from composite material which makes it hard to detect them. He said that it was possible to shoot it down due to air defense force equipment, worked out by the Armenian MIC.

Here he added that according to preliminary data the shot-down drone was of Israeli make, of Hermes classification. As to the Armenian air defense forces fighting capacity in the threshold of independence, Babayan said that the best proof of it is the trainings in Ashuluk (Russia). He noted that in those trainings the Armenian anti-aircraft complexes S300 shot down targets with three missiles, showing 100% result.
