YEREVAN. – Israel is using Azerbaijan as a range for weapons, military expert Arkady Grigoryan believes.

His comment came in response to Armenian News - NEWS.am request to comment on the Azerbaijani and Israeli media reports.

“In fact, based on publications, it turns out that the Azeris used Spike earlier than its development was completed in Israel. On the other hand, it is very likely that Azerbaijanis are simply bluffing, giving out old versions for newer ones,” the expert said.

At the same time, he believes that the Israeli side will not point to Baku's tricks, as Azerbaijan’s use of Israel-made weapons has a double advantage: Azerbaijan is both a testing ground and a means of advertising.
