New aspects of downed drone likely to be triggered

PanARMENIAN.Net - If the Azerbaijani drone shot down after violating the Artsakh air space turns out to be American, it will trigger new aspects of the issue, Publisher of The California Courier said.

“Moreover, if this fact is proved, Armenians across the globe should voice protest, as delivery of such armament can cause a war,” Harut Sassounian told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

A new discovery linked an unmanned Azeri drone downed last week by Nagorno Karabakh Republic Defense Army to a U.S. Defense company that manufactures signal distribution products. The Karabakh Army downed a drone on early September 12 morning, saying it had violated Karabakh airspace. A close review of a video of the drone wreckage released by the Karabakh Army revealed that the Pueblo West, Colorado-based GPS Source Inc., which manufactures and sells signal distribution products is the maker of a GPS splitter that was one of the components of the downed drone. The GPS splitter allows a single GPS antenna to be shared between multiple GPS receivers.

An earlier examination of the video revealed that the Canadian-based company, NovAtel, which has offices in Texas, is the manufacturer of the GPS antenna used on the drone.
