On the morning of November 6th, the Artsakh Ministry of Defense released a video showing reported losses by Azerbaijan’s side in something it calls “Hell Valley.”
“Hell valley: destruction of Azerbaijani troops with a large number of military equipment and manpower losses. The Artsakh Defense Army continues to detect and destroy Azerbaijani units preparing for an attack. The footage shows about 10 pieces of equipment destroyed in the forests near Berdzor, including the Israeli Sandcat infantry fighting vehicles.”
Overnight on November 5th, coming into 6th, Azerbaijani shelling continued over Stepanakert, Nagorno-Karabakh’s capital.
“The chaotic shelling of Stepanakert and its outskirts has been going on for more than two hours. The artillery of the Artsakh Defense Army works to suppress the firing positions of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces.”
A video was released showing Armenian soldiers somehow downing an alleged Turkish drone with assault rifles.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said that Moscow has received information about the transfer of militants from the Middle East to Karabakh.
Members of terrorist organizations are now being transferred to the Karabakh conflict zone, Russian foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said at a briefing.
“According to incoming information, members of terrorist organizations from the Middle East, who, as we have already said, have blood on their hands up to the elbows, are being transferred to the zone of the Nagorno – Karabakh conflict,” Zakharova said.
According to her, we are talking about radical mercenaries. They profess the ideology of jihadism. All this cannot but cause Moscow serious concern, since such a development of the situation is fraught with the emergence of a new terrorist enclave in Transcaucasia. Russia stated this openly, immediately after it had the relevant data at its disposal.
In a very obvious piece of international propaganda, and an attempt to rally people to the Armenian cause, heavy medal band System of a Down made a video and a song to call to the fight.
The vocalist and front man of the band is Serj Tankian, an Armenian, and he is a quite vocal “political activist”, occasionally.
On the Azerbaijani side, the push is on-going and it still appears to be in the better position, together with its Turkish and militant support.
A video was also released of “liberated areas”.
During the day on November 5 and night on November 6, the Armenian armed forces fired at the positions of the units of the Azerbaijan Army and reportedly at civilian settlements in various directions of the front with various small arms, howitzers, and mortars.
The combat operations continued with varying intensity, mainly in the Aghdere, Aghdam, Khojavend, and Gubadli directions of the front. The enemy was forced to retreat suffering casualties on personnel and military vehicles in some areas of the front.
Currently, combat operations are underway. The operational situation is reportedly under the control of the Azerbaijani troops.
A video was also released showing abandoned equipment, left when Armenian troops reportedly retreated from some positions.

I am not sure about pushing back, but after looking at the latest videos and independent maps, it would appear that the Azerbaijan intial attack around Shusha has stalled as I had posted yesterday due to tougher Armenian resistance and new supply of ATGM, which they are using quite effectively in the steep terrain. Having visited Shusha, it is on a hilltop and very hard to capture if there is dug in resistance. The Azerbaijan infantry is not prepared for tough mountain slugfest that entail very high casualties. The terrain is like in central Iran near Mehran-Mandali, with steep and rolling hills where the defenders have the advantage. Iraq lost a whole corps in the Mehran sector very early on as the Iranians were not willing to give an inch. If the Armenians can hold out and be resupplied they will do well. Turkish drones will be the deciding factor here.
To be resupplied they need to control the roads, if they control the roads there is no need to dig in Shusha.
True, I have said that. I believe they have close to 1200 men in Shusha and quite a bit of D-30, 23mm quad Shilka and some ATGM, but if they are not resupplied and the Azerbaijan infantry surrounds the three access roads that wind into Shusha, they have pretty much had it. I was there a few years ago and thought that it would be hard place to fight for, if it had dug in defenders who have clear view of the surrounding plains and hills at the back.

If armenians fight like houthis they can resist the attack otherwise its difficult and they will lose.
I am not sure, in 1992 they drove the rag tag Azeris out easily, but now with drones they will have a hard time. The Turks control the skies, the Saudi fuckwits don’t.
Drones which the Russians could have easily disabled with their EW assets.
But despite their talk about the presence of Jihadis, they don’t.
Hence the Russians are tacitly helping the Azeri side win the war against their supposed ally Armenia.
Who needs enemies with friends like Russia.
The Russians did not warn the Armenian side about the Azeri war preparations and new capabilities (aka drones) either. Looks like the Russians gave plenty of intelligence about Armenian assets and capabilities to the Azeri side though.
The problem is when I tell the truth trolls from all sides get angry. Russia has huge internal divisions. Putin is sick with Parkinsons and the military led by Shoigu is pushing to take over despite Americunt and CIA color coded attempts. Putin is a Zionist stooge and their own position is getting weaker. There is is a decision making vacuum in Russia.
Because of russias weakness we decided to stick with the americans.We are buying russian ammo but we are buying equal lky large amounts from usa,israel and france
I know. But now with Biden a certainty, the US and its Zionist masters will try to weaken Russia even further due to his family links with Ukraine. Russia has a very corrupt civil society, which is much less cohesive than India or Iran. The oligarchs have the Kremlin in their pockets, so it will be up to the military as Russians since the days of Kievan-Rus has been a authoritarian Czarist, Bolshevik or one man (Putin) dictatorship so a military takeover in face of severe threats is a strong possibility. The Wahhabi/Salafist threat to Russia is very real as I have been saying for years. Now maybe they will open their eyes.
Putin is a weakling.Wveryone is taking advantage of russia.putin is all talk no action guy.I used to think he was a tough guy.But it seems like he is weaker than obama
Putin was just a frontman and junior KGB major. He has been sick for past 5 years and today Russian TV showed him with hands and legs shaking and then the media openly talked about his Parkinsons. I don’t think he will last another 6 months. The whole world in in very dire straits for the time being and hence all the opportunists taking advantage.
It’s been that way since the Jewish Bolsheviks took over Russia in 1917.
Russians — what a race of stupid, self-destructive creatures.
Russia failed to develop a cohesive culture, even compared to smaller Armenia or Georgia. That is primary reason they have been ruled by authoritarian regimes and exploited. The Bolsheviks were basically Zionist Jews and Russia was the first country to recognize the Zionist cancer of Pisrael. The real misfortune of Russia is that it is an immense and rich country and a very tempting target for Jews and imperialists. I believe, if not in my lifetime but sooner of later Russia will be carved up again, if it does not get a nationalistic consensus and proper leadership.
Maybe because communism was exactly that,an existence devoid of culture….
I agree with you my friend.
What a sad world we live in.
I’m glad I’m old and will not have to watch this stupid movie for that much longer.
Take care, the best.
do you have AZ Turks so much?
I hate no one in particular but am not an excitable child. I know what war is and it is nothing to brag about from the comfort of your parents home. People are dying because cowardly old men send others to die for their ego.
Don’t take it personally, the guy hates almost everyone. Including himself. Until recently, he denied being an Iranian and a Muslim. He lied and said he was a Buddhist.
Ever heard of …sarcasm?
The Armenians have no chance. The Azeris have more soldiers, much more advanced weapons and better officers / command.
The Azeris have been preparing for this war for a long time, something that cannot be said about the Armenians.
it is just a matter of hours and armenians are trapped
no way… did you see how fit they are… al very fat old guys or young boys with no experience and no apatite to be killed.
3 sides already closed… 1 side left open for them to retreat.. drones are swarming right now to kill armenian soldiers
That place looks beautiful!
Pashinyan sooner or later will have to intervene with the Armenian army and the support of Russia( Today Russians have told that Jihadist terrorist are deployed for the AZ offensive to the capital)…Pashinyan prefer be “missing” like all pro western Serbian presidents which have allowed the Pseudocalifate of Kosovo in exchange of a False promise of EU membership…but Russia have close ties with Armenian military staff and they know that it is not a matter of retake lands…it is a matter of create a new Idlib close to Caucasus and Caspian sea targeting Russia and Iran!…the main promoters and suppliers ( NATO-Turkey& Israel)…
That is a rational comment and close to reality.
Yeah, I don’t buy it. Look at the list of Armenian casualties at look at the ratio of Armenia Armenians and Karabakh Armenians. Then come back and claim that Armenia is not participating.
But not regular army…only volunters many of them of the Russian diaspora.
Regular servicemen on voluntary basis, thats true. Regular units, not that much. Which is understandable, Armenia wouldn’t want to open another front with Nakhchivan.
armenian army is fully involved and fighting.. this is the max what they can deliver…war is over GO HOME to you crying wife
persioon bastard backstaber… biggest looser will be iran regime
Seriously, grow the fuck up kid.
“biggest looser will be iran regime” – I agree.
Ghost of Araik is preparing defense of Shusha.

FFS.. how much illegal shit is the Deep State moving to finance all these ‘militant’ rats. They keep coming out of the factory. On the bright side.. it helps with depopulation.
Azerbaijan should give the residents of Shusha 24 hours to leave the city before the Azeri forces storm. Otherwise it will be a bloodbath of Shusha citizens.
, but they are inveder they shouldn’t be there they got no right to be there so they will pay the price unfortunate
Azerbaijan needs to be smart about this.
I would not be surprised if the Armenian leadership is interested in showing the world pictures of “massacred” Armenian citizens in Shusha.
no way all there staying are armenian soldiers…no civilians left… dont let the soldiers leave
I disagree. Pictures from the city show that there are residents there.
In addition, the more Armenian soldiers there are in the city, the more soldiers on both sides will be killed. I’m sure you want as few Azeri soldiers as possible to die.
Difficult to do, when you “fighting force” is made of syrian mercenaries.
Must be painfully degrading to be azeri. Not being able to fight a bunch of old men and teenagers whith old guns from soviet era despite azeris having the latest state of the art weapons.
Must be even more degrading to be turk as being a nation of +80 millions and having unlimited resources, still not being able to fight those poor Karabakh armenians.
Even calling for jihadist terrorist from Syria and the rest of the shithole sand dune countries have lead to anything else then total disaster and embarrasment for the united muslim forces.
Shouting to allah will only take you all closer to him and the 70 virgin negro cocks that are waiting for you in hell.
Imagine the fear and how much those turks and azeris will shit in their pants if Armenia would joint the war and support Karabakh.
If i was the leader of the Armenian forces, then I would order a massive attack to all main cities for azerbaijan and turkey and bomb them back to medeval times in one strike.
Then both Putin and EU could shout out what ever they want.
Armenians are going to win this. We have second rate at best analysts talking shit. Fact of the matter is that it’s been 41 days and the blitz failed. Now everyone knows for a fact that they have stalled. This is just getting started, and when it is over the Armenians will have written two chapters in modern military history. The first was the first war for Artsakh, the second war is taking place now. The first was a very big loss, the second one is going to be even a bigger loss for the Azeri’s.
It’s a freaken meat grinder, video after video of the same thing. Yet the Southfront crowed is full of know it all’s who said the same shit they are saying now two weeks ago.
