Second Karabakh war
September 27, 2020
Azerbaijan, armed with Israeli loitering munitions and Turkish Bayraktar drones, launched an offensive that recaptured most of Nagorno-Karabakh from Armenia in forty-four days, demonstrating the lethal effectiveness of modern drone warfare. Russian peacekeepers froze the front. Three years later Azerbaijan would finish the job, and one of the post-Soviet world's frozen conflicts would simply end.
