Bit of a strange question, dont know why you wouldn't be able to discover that on your own, but if you are asking for our opinion...Well, Armenia obviously. I believe we have more ballistic missiles and launchers than Azerbaijan, and two or possibly three different varieties (Tochka U, SCUD, and MAYBE Iskander)

I'm not going to dispute on who's land the helicopter fell on, that has been acknowledged by both sides. I'm just going to quote this article..
http://news.am/eng/news/239254.html

20 METERS! Although the helicopter fell on our side it was flying either right on the front line or was on no mans land. I'm not trying to justify what the azeris did. It is a much graver provocation to shoot down a helicopter, that to fly that close to the adversary, but why would the orders have been, to send a Strategic asset of our people right onto, or past a "HOT" front line. We all saw the video and saw how close the point of missile impact was to the point of contact with earth, so my point is why were they ordered to do such a thing. In order to fly a strategic asset on a mission like this, a order has to come from VERY high up. No Armenian pilot is going on any joy ride. I'm just curious what minister or political figurehead lives in La La land, and whether they will be calling the shots during the next war. I feel it's reasonable to ask that question. All this BS about it being a training mission is irritating. There's plenty of land to conduct "training missions" elsewhere. It was meant as a sign of "strength" and "courage", but someone's miscalculations resulted in the loss of three lives and a strategic asset of ALL ARMENIANS. Screw azeris for what they did but I can't blame them either. If an Azeri heli flew that close to a section of trench I was in charge of, I would order a shoot down as well.
I just hope our leadership isn't as reckless when the time comes...

I just saw the video and burjuin photos above your last post......it does look like a training exercise (three pilots onboard is training) flying about 500 ft in NKR territory paralleling our border and the rear chopper got hit in the cabin which the fire would have taken out the pilot.....the chopper crashed engines still running in a shallow turn nose down. If they were at higher elevation it could have ended up gliding into Azeri held territory, very easily.
They were not doing anything wrong abd have every right flying along the line of contact and not headed into the enemy. This was not an attack bu us and the first helicopter (if armed) should have turned and attacked that position across the line contact and destroy that target (at least that is what I would have done under my own orders, fck they just killed three of my pilot friend for nothing).

20 meters, what an absolute xxxxing lie, must have been a typo. THAT IS NO WAY, 20 METERS. Are you seriously telling me, that helicopter, fell that xxxxing close? No way, in hell. 20 meters my ass, guys gotta get use to the metric system, THIS IS 20 METERS :



Azerbaijan would have suffered casulties if a damn helicopter wreckage, on fire, ready to explode, fell 20 METERS AWAY FROM TROOPS.
