Baku/18.08.21/Turan: The opening ceremony of the monument to the border guards and the AN-2 aircraft, who died in the 44-day war last year, was held at the State Border Service of Azerbaijan.

As a result of the use of the “Harop” and “Raven” unmanned aerial vehicles by the State Border Service, 290 targets and a large number of enemy personnel were neutralized.
At that time, the Armenian military department reported about shooting down Azerbaijani warplanes, not suspecting that they were targeting the Soviet "maize", as the peasants called the AN-2. –0--
