If only we could keep a 100-200 t72s and upgrade them to t72b3m. Convert the rest to mortar carriers or something.

How? We already have 560 to 600 T-72s, but non are B3 or B3M. Armenia & NKR combined.

100-200 can be upgraded like the Russians are doing. The rest converted into heavy APCs to move troops safely through the line of contact in hairy situations.

This much armor is a waste of resources in modern warfare.

Azerbaijan signs deal with Ukraine's Antonov to buy 10 An-178 aircraft

$40-70mil each. So they pretty much spent $400-700mln on transport aircraft. It also appears that this is being bought by Silk Airways, an Azeri cargo carrier. Business must be good or they're securing a way to move the entire Aliyev clan out of the country quick.

More like trying to secure Nakhichevan in case of a major war.

Indeed they are. With 18-ton lift capabilities they can move a lot of goods. Does the S-300/400 battery cover all of nakhchivan? These seem to be fair game.
