became known some details of the unique reception in the world’s military textbooks, which the Azerbaijani army applied during the 44th day war to identify the positions of Armenian air defense systems. We are talking about the use as a false air target for the emergence forces of the opponent’s sets of exponential single-engine civilian aircraft An-2 (“cornman”) for the forces of the counterfield defense of the opponent. It is thanks to this reception on the first day of military operations, more than 40 percent of the electronic air defense systems were destroyed. Subsequently, the secretary of the Security Council of the Separatists Samvel Babayan himself was admitted.
Recall, An-2 aircraft were used as drones, and the power of the air defense of the enemy, “recognizing” them for real combat aircraft, stepped up radar, after which the “Osa-M” anti-aircraft missile systems opened fire on them, so Let me reveal your areas of firing positions. Following these, attacking drones and artillery of the Azerbaijani army destroyed these most air defense complexes.
was first assumed that the “corn” generally climbed into the air as drones and with the help of a special autopilot system headed towards the targets given. However, as it turned out, the pilots were raised into the air, after which they themselves jumped from the plane with parachutes, and the aircraft in the autopilot mode flew to the specified targets. The plane was filled with explosive devices and fuel so that he would be undermined as Dron-Kamikaze in case of a mischief of the enemy.
This was told about the high rank officers of the Azerbaijani army in the documentary film “Invisible heroes”. One of them said that on the first day of military operations, that is, on September 27, in the direction of the main target of the attacks of the Azerbaijani army, 20 An-2 aircraft were sent, as a result of which the areas of the concentration of enemy anti-aircraft missile systems “Osa-M” were identified …
Preparatory work in connection with the transformation of the An-2 aircraft in drones and their use for these purposes began to be carried out since 2013 in strict secret conditions.
