Can we hit any single point in Russia? We we engage any missile strike from Russia and vice versa?
Any attack in to Russian soil will mean war spilling in to Turkish mainland. Russian war doctrine states that any attack on Russian soil will have repercussions of same.
If war breaks out in Karabakh, it will stay in Karabakh. If it breaks out in Armenia, it should be confined to Armenian mainland.
If even a conventional missile is fired at Moscow, the response, Russia clearly states, will be a nuclear one, as the Russian command structure is in Moscow.
Even if we may be able to hit certain positions in Russia close to our borders, why should we? There is just too much to lose on our part.
Our promise to support Azerbaijan, is enough deterrent for Russia not to spill fight in to each other’s borders. But since Russia has a similar promise with Armenia, we should not get physically involved in a fight in Armenian soil.
With all this in mind, a 300km operational LOS range is adequate. Should the need arise some of our drones are fitted with satellite communication capability and could operate under “Azerbaijani” control.
