Azerbaijan’s victory in the Second Karabakh War in the autumn of 2020 was made possible by a combination of long-term military planning, technological superiority and, above all, the courage of soldiers on the battlefield. Drones, precision weapons and other advanced military systems undoubtedly played an important role in the outcome of the war. Yet behind every military operation and every liberated settlement stood people who had to advance under fire, face the enemy and risk their lives. Technology could have helped change the course of the fighting, but it was the soldiers who had to capture and hold positions.
