IRANIAN ARMY WILL REACH BAKU WITHIN THREE DAYS, "NEZAVISIMAYA GAZETA" SUPPOSES

PanARMENIAN.Net - In spite of official Baku denial of reports on Azerbaijan's possible participation in the US "anti-Iranian coalition," Russian press continues analyzing the possible consequences of Baku participation in the military attack against Iran. As written by "Nezavisimaya Gazeta," the analysis of correlation of the power and means of the participants of the hypothesized conflict shows Iran's opportunities are incommensurable with the potential of Azerbaijan. As not only anti-missile, but also modern air defense is absent in Baku, the first strike by Teheran is most real by means of "Skad" and "Muvaak" efficient-tactical and tactical missiles. Their range lets access virtually all objects in the territory of Azerbaijan. Aviation strikes on Azerbaijan are also possible after that. Azerbaijan has nothing to respond to bombings. "There are practically no trig planes, there are no pilots, battle-worthy air defense means are represented by large-caliber machine-guns," - "Nezavisimaya Gazeta" writes. The edition also attracts attention to the fact that the length of the land frontier between Azerbaijan and Iran makes several hundred kilometers. Thus, one can by no means rule out participation of Iranian Armed Forces artillery in the possible preventive strike on Azerbaijan. Teheran has over 2000 pieces of ordnance at its disposal, including 203.2-millimeter long-range cannons. Thus, it is quite probable that cities and objects of Azeri Armed Forces near the frontier may undergo surprise firing by Iranian artillery. "Considerable groupings of land forces and Iranian "Islamic Revolution Guard Corps" will invade the Azeri territory. … Baku will hardly be able to organize… real resistance to the fanatically disposed Iranian army, which has almost 10 years' experience of war in 1980-1988. In three days advanced Iranian detachments will be on the avenue of approach to Baku," - "Nezavisimaya Gazeta" forecasts. Naturally, such preventive actions of Teheran will right away result in a large-scale war. Most likely the events will develop just in this course until the United States enter the confrontation. Upon Pentagon entering the military conflict Iran's blitzkrieg will finish practically at once and in a few days Ayatollah Khamenei would suffer the same fate as Saddam Hussein. Thus, one should suppose that the recent threats the Iranian capital has addressed to Baku will only prompt Baku to joining the NATO military organization, without which they are virtually defenseless even in the face of Iran, Russian experts conclude.
