Accelerated Destruction of war materiel

Azerbaijan social media accounts now claim to have destroyed up to 250 tanks and armored vehicles of the Armenians. They also claim to have destroyed another 150 military vehicles, such as jeeps or supply trucks, and to have neutralized 270 artillery pieces and multiple rocket launchers. Baku also asserts it has hit more than 60 air defense systems, including the claims it struck an S-300 system – and to have smashed eight armories and 11 command and control centers.

As for the Armenians, they also claim to have destroyed whole divisions’ worth of Azeri material. Some 127 drones have been shot-down, as well as 16 helicopters, 17 planes and four larger Smerch rocket launchers being hit, the Armenian side says. They also claim to have destroyed 416 Azerbaijan military vehicles.

The side that achieves air supremacy will start to advance and take territory. The question is if Turkey or Russia will make good the ongoing losses. This destruction cannot continue for more than another week. 
Ex Minister Avigdor Liberman said that Israel’s official line is t try to stay publicly as far away from that mix as it can. But Liberman said that while Jerusalem should say little, it is very much in Israel’s interest for its position to be made clear. “Azerbaijan is our friend, and friendship is tested in times of crisis,” he said. “I recommend very strongly that we preserve our friendship with Azerbaijan.”

Turkey vs Russia

From The Economist: "...if Armenian territory is under attack, Russia has no option but to defend Armenia.” Turkey and Russia are already tangled up in two proxy wars, in Libya and Syria. They run the danger of fighting a third one in the Caucasus."
