Azeris blame Armenia for shooting down Armenian drone

When one side in a war blames the other side for doing something rather idiotic, you have to maybe smile at least a little.

Like when Baghdad Bob claimed there were no America forces in Baghdad, ignoring the M1A1 Abrams tank sitting a few blocks away. Or Iranian Republican Guards arrested Israeli spy squirrels, Egypt blaming attacks in Aqaba by Mossad-trained sharks, or Lebanese reports of an Israeli spy vulture. So …

“Baku, Azerbaijan, May 19

“Armenia has again shot down its own drone, Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry said May 19.

“An Armenian X-55 UAV, which was carrying out a reconnaissance flight in the direction of Aghdam District along the frontline, was mistakenly shot down by the Armenian armed forces on May 19 at around 13:20 (UTC/GMT +4 hours).

“The drone fell not far from the Armenian positions, according to observations of the Azerbaijani armed forces.

“It is the second X-55 UAV shot down recently as a result of the nonprofessionalism of the Armenian servicemen.”

The Azeri claim of Armenia shooting down two of its own drones might stem from this three-month-old Armenian accusation:

Armenian Defense Minister Artsrun Hovhannisyan:

“We know that Azerbaijan is in need of victory, and even made up victories. According to reliable data, the Azerbaijani side shot down their own drone. ‘Colleagues’ from Azerbaijan are confused, and new reports will appear soon.”

Trend is an Azerbaijani web site, and Armenia Now … well, that’s kind of obvious.
