A question that I have not seen to be asked so far is:
How many troops and what kind of tech are both sides using so far? Why are Azeris not using their Air Force at all?
ps I am sure that both sides are overestimating the loses of the enemy and underestimating theirs for propaganda purposes.
I feel Azeris have been given a message by cpl countries where some red lines are and thus they have elected to deliberately not escalate.
I was going to type this 2 days ago, but I chose not to because it might have upset some posters...and felt let some more days play out first.
Soldiers and armour thus restricted to make frontal assaults with the requisite available SEAD and DEAD from the drone tech and some directed artillery and mortars etc.
But the absence of AF is very telling...directed heavy aerial assault with PGM is what actually would be gamechanger to make headway into actual strategic capture of territory....given you can actually then spearhead effectively with armour and strike infantry behind it...otherwise you will just expend them for little.
That would be a clear rung up in escalation. The rung above that would be expanding sustained air assault and ballistic assault on crucial infrastructure past the battlezone area...for infrastructure and logistical denial.
None of those 2 happen, means Azeris are not going to make much advance I am afraid, because of defender advantage with Armenians and also terrain advantage favouring them in lot of areas.
