Well, there aren't any chance of using proxies, so they have to do it themselves. So the question is whether Azerbaycan has a professional army, or are they using conscripts. That won't do in this time and age which is why I say they should have several UAV airborne supporting the push.
I seen footage of the place its all full of mountains and hills what a nightmare for an attacking army.
Azerbaijanis and the Armenians both use conscripts. Both are neither professional but the Azerbaijanis are better equipped and trained.
Only way real reforms will happen is at the top. I dont want the Azerbaijani army to turned into some ineffective modern army that is seen in a lot of Arab, African and South American armies. I feel like Turkey needs to play a big role in its reforms and rebuilding along with modernisation.
Soviet style doctrines need to be discarded to match todays standards. Russians due to their modernisation are getting rid of lots of soviet style doctrines of fighting. Best example we seen the last time of it was in the chechen wars. Now compare it today the Russians came a long way.
I dont mean Soviet style of warfare is bad. Soviet style basically suited the Russians at the times especially the cold war but warfare changes due to technology this means better education, training, discipline, tactics and stategies to adapt to the changing face of warfare.
All types of warfare doctrines worked for a lot of nations but over time they become obsolete.
