Israeli Arms Aid Fuels Azerbaijani Victory in Nagorno-Karabakh, Deepening Armenian Despair

Israel has quietly supplied powerful weapons to Azerbaijan, aiding its campaign to retake Nagorno-Karabakh from ethnic Armenian control. Flight tracking data and Armenian diplomats confirm that Azerbaijani military cargo planes flew between an Israeli airbase and an airfield near Nagorno-Karabakh just weeks before Azerbaijan launched its offensive. Israeli arms, including long-range missiles and exploding drones, have played a significant role in Azerbaijan's military success, giving them an edge against Armenia. Israel's close relationship with Azerbaijan, driven by shared interests in containing Iran and oil trade, has raised concerns about Israel's arms export policies and its support for an autocratic government against an ethnic and religious minority.
