well if you zoom in on the tailpipe and enhance the fins I think you'll that according to the wikipedia page, that's clearly an Armenian missile, with an angle that can be geolocated back to a launch site in Armenia

its what Armenian twitter is claiming but missiles jamming into the ground like that isn't super rare. On the other hand it's the Azeri government who lie even when the truth sounds better so who knows.

the thing is that you can't see any cracks in the asphalt around the impact so it somehow drilled a perfect hole

Not only that, but:

1) you wouldn't use a Smerch to target a packed-earth dam/reservoir (like the one at Mingachevir), its not going to do anything substantial
2) the tail of the rocket separates from the warhead/explosives part of the rocket, and doesn't land in the same place it was targeted
3) its literally being held up by a piece of wood because they made the hole too wide and not deep enough lmfao

Armenian forces are so desperate they are using bronze age weaponry, and did a war crime and shot this young child with an arrow killing him instantly. It is time to enforce peace on #Armenia!

It's a 99% great episode that contains a single offhanded comment that sort of spoils it to the effect of "all Armenian perpetuated massacres are Azeri lies". They were talking about some idiocy the Azeri's claimed like the Armenians genocided 3 million people or something, but they painted with too large a brush regarding it. And conflated the population of Karabakh the oblast and Karabakh the historical region which is the main way #ArtsakhStrong types lay claim to the whole region.

Site obviously leans a bit towards the Armenian side to say the least, but one of the slightly less propagandistic outlets bothering to cover things. Which isn't saying much but there you go.

The only glaring bad take on the Armenian side is westerns who are repeating myths that all of historic Armenia was homogeneously Armenian.



According to Russian empire census it was only ever something like 55% Armenian. This type of stuff only backfires

Shushi carries alot of cultural weight as being the most independent center of Azeri power prior to the formation of the Azeri state and was probably what murdered the peace process in the early 2000s (besides Aliyev generally being a loving ogre who views the Artsakh issue as a way to drum up nationalist frenzy to keep himself in power).

And will probably murder any future peace process because it's one of the few cities Artsakh has tried to actually resettle in any serious way (somewhat hampered by the fact that their population is too small to colonize the seized territories), and Artsakh made their capturing and burning LIBERATING of the city one of its main national holidays.
