Baykar Tech also has an important preparation for Azerbaijan. Baykar Field Coordinator Retired Staff Colonel Hüseyin Topuz is in charge of the organization. In the coming years, it may be possible to partially shift the serial production of some systems. The name of the company in Azerbaijan is Bayraktar Technology Azerbaijan

This is a very good idea, if Azerbaijani defence industry can become an extended part of larger Tyrkish defence industry it would be very beneficial for the small country.

Azerbaijan clinches deal with Serbia on purchase of 48 self-propelled howitzers​

Azerbaijan has completed signing an agreement with Serbia on the purchase of 48 self-propelled howitzers Nora B-52NG of 155 mm calibre, Azernews reports.

World Defence News reports that the deal worth $340 million is part of the modernization strategy of the Azerbaijani army.

The howitzers were developed by Serbian defence company Yugoimport, but are compatible with standard NATO ammunition. The projectiles with improved aerodynamics can be fired at a range of more than 40 kilometres.

The Nora B-52NG is distinguished by its firepower, extended range, high mobility due to its wheeled platform and advanced fire control systems, making it a valuable component of modern artillery arsenals

Currently, the Nora-B52 is in service with the armies of several countries, including Serbia, Kenya, Cyprus, Bangladesh, and Myanmar. Now Azerbaijan will become the new user of the howitzer, purchasing fifty self-propelled artillery mounts.

One of the key advantages of the Serbian howitzers is their high mobility.

Its possible that these are replacing some of the towed howitzers, a lot of militaries are considering abandoning towed systems and switching to wheeled SPHs due to threat of drones and counter-battery fire

It was already a time for some action

Oh, if only!
But this is just training for now.
We cannot stand by and simply watch as the US and EU, or worse, Russia, seize control of Georgia. Even after the opening of the corridor through Armenia, Georgia will remain very important for us.
Georgia is weak, we need to support it more and prevent a repeat of the “08/08/08” war.
Fortunately, our military-political leadership understands this very well.
