Just few minutes ago, Hikmet Hajiyev, the assistant of Azerbaijan’s Dictator Aliyev released images of unexploded rockets claiming that they are Tochka Ballistic missile fired by Armenia Army at Mingechevir Hydro Power Plant!
The claim was immediately denied and refuted by the Armenian Defence Ministry spokesperson Shushan. She even warned about sinister plan by Azerbaijan to escalate the tension further.
Hikmet Hajiyev’s picture evidence are now in the public domain. After verifying the pictures we can conclude that these are not Tochka missiles but looks similar to the 280mm Smerch Russian rockets.
The impact area was also odd with clean penetration with no debris what so ever. It looks like they have drilled a perfect hole at an angle and placed the used rocket upside down.
Oddly a piece of wood also can be found along with the rocket. Which could be placed as a support of some sort.
Making the case even worse for the Azerbaijani side. A twitter user goes by the Babak Taghvaee1 explained that the smerch Russian rockets in the picture don’t have the range to reach the Azerbaijan city of Mingecevir.
As per him the story was fabricated by the Azerbaijanside. The crash site is 108 km in distance from the nearest Armenian territory. It is basically 18km more than the maximum range of the rockets fired by BM-30 Smerch.
But the larger question is why the Azerbaijan side want to fake a strike on their own Thermal Power Plant? May be the Armenian Defence Spokesperson is right. By blaming Armenia for using a ballistic missiles, Azerbaijan actually planing to use one on the Armenians.
Answer is that they wanna use Lora ballistic missiles at power plants of Artsakh Nagorno-Karabakh or probably to launch an attack on Metsamor Nuclear Power Plant tonight! Claimed the expert.
Just forget how badly that crash site of 280mm rocket is fabricated by #Azerbaijan GOV! The nearest point of #Armenia's territory from #Mingecevir has 108km distance! It is 18km more than maximum range of rockets fired by BM-30 Smerch multiple rocket launchers of #ArmenianArmy! pic.twitter.com/DoPfFCDNjw
