We can't patronize and be happy, you know, the South Caucasus region, where Azerbaijan is located, is a famous "powder keg", and the grudge between Azerbaijan and Armenia is cut and cut constantly, reason and reason, and fire without saying a word, which is nothing new

No, some time ago the Nagorno-Karabakh region was not peaceful, and Azerbaijan made a painful determination this time to improve its military strength, and the air force is naturally the top priority

  • "Armenia has Russia behind it, and Azerbaijan is also being forced to rush this time!"

Some netizens pointed out sharply that behind Azerbaijan's choice of "Thunder Dragon" is a complex regional situation

Let's talk about Armenia's "backer" - Russia, Russia has always been Armenia's "big brother", and it is to provide weapons, and to engage in military cooperation, the relationship is called an iron, since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Russia itself has crossed the river with mud, where is there still leisure to manage Armenia's "broken things"?

Netizens used a figurative metaphor to describe Azerbaijan's plight

In this case, the appearance of the "Thunder Dragon" is, for Azerbaijan, simply a "long drought and a rainstorm"

  • "'The Thunder is advanced in performance and affordable, the key is to be politically neutral, and will not cause unnecessary trouble for itself like buying Russia weapons"
  • "What's it called? This is called 'the east is not bright and the west is bright,' the mountains and rivers are doubtful, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village! ”

The Thunder attracts Azerbaijan not just for political reasons

The performance of the "Thunder Dragon" is leveraged, it is equipped with an advanced active phased array radar, can launch a variety of air-to-air missiles and ground-to-ground missiles, not only can compete with Armenia's Su-30 fighter "nephew" price, that is quite affordable, compared with the European and American fighters that are often hundreds of millions of dollars, the price of the "Thunder" is simply "cabbage price", which is undoubtedly a huge temptation for Azerbaijan, which is shy in the pocket

  • "'Thunder Dragon, who uses this cost-effective, who says it is good!'"
  • "$1.6 billion to buy 12 'Thunder Dragons' is a good deal!"

Netizens praised the cost-effectiveness of "Xiaolong".

More importantly, the logistics maintenance system of the "Thunder" is very similar to the existing Soviet/Russian fighters in Azerbaijan, and the Azerbaijan Air Force can easily get started without retraining

  • "That's a high move! No need to re-establish the logistics system, save money and worry! ”
  • "'Thunder Dragon, this is to seize Russia's backyard!"
