"Yes, it’s a general assessment by international military specialists that Azerbaijan conducted the war of 21st century," President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said in an interview with the Spanish El Pais newspaper, APA reports.

"No one before us conducted the war in such a way. It was not only drones it was a very accurate reconneisance. It was the integration of, as you said, drones from both countries-Turkey and Israel. The Israeli drones we have the surveillance drones and the Kamikaze drones, Turkish drones we have the surveillance drones and the fighter drones. And to integrate this in a single military operation, of course, was not easy. The same with our air defense system. We have air defense system of Israel, air defense system of Russia S-300. We have air defense hook. So, to integrate this air defense was also a serious target and by efficient use of air defense we protected ourselves from a big tragedy. Because Armenia was launching the ballistic missiles against us and destroying sleeping cities. The city of Ganja several times suffered the attack by Scud missiles, and they were targeted to destroy their living compounds. They used Iskender M ballistic missiles which they used the last day to destroy Shusha and there was not a one. Therefore, many of these missiles were intercepted by our air defense. So, air defense, drones, artillery, the drones were giving target to artillery. It’s not a secret any longer that in the first days of the war we were using the small light airplanes for discovery of the Armenian air defense system. The pilot was just jumping out and the small plane for agriculture purposes have been used. We were going to the positions and Armenian air defense was discovering itself by attacking this useless target and then we were destroying the Armenian air defense. So, combination of these factors plus first is the motivation and courage of our soldiers and officers who sacrificed their lives. Almost 3,000 Azerbaijanis died for their motherland. All these factors played a decisive role in the victory in a very difficult geographical condition, because we have to climb to the mountains. In the conditions where Armenians for almost 30 years created six lines of fortifications, mines. Only after war, we have almost 200 people killed or injured on the land mines. Of course, all that created the ground for our victory", said Azerbaijani President.
