Armenia's efforts to mislead the public were in vain: Satellite images denied Armenia
Armenia, which sent 4 SU-30 type warplanes to Russia with Armenian pilots 'to be used in Ukraine', tried to mislead the world public opinion when the truth came out.
Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan claimed that "the news is not true" and said "Our planes never left our lands".
Technology denied Pashinyan's claim
In the first of the satellite images taken on March 18, 2022, 4 SU-30 type warplanes were seen at the air base in Armenia.
In the second image taken on March 25, there was a different view in the same place. The SU-30 planes sent to Russia are missing in these newer images. Where they are, there are Mig-29 jets.
The SU-30s were built to rival the F-14 and F-15 jets. Armenia ordered 4 SU-30s from Russia in 2019 to strengthen its air force. The delivery was made in May 2020.
Armenia put the planes into the service of the Russian army without using them before. Jets were sent to Russia for the Ukraine war with Armenian pilots.
The planes were shipped to Russia on March 23, 2022. Their departure point was Erebuni Airport in Yerevan. 4 SU-30 fighter jets, used by Armenian pilots, set off at 12:50 local time. The planes arrived at their final destination, Russia, at 13:14.
Satellite photos also proved this shipment. This development is critical. Thus, by placing its planes and pilots at the disposal of the Russian army, Armenia became a partner in the invasion of Ukraine and a party to the war started by Russia. Armenia, like Russia, is at risk of being targeted by Western sanctions. Leaking of confidential information to the press left Armenia in a difficult position against Russia. Diplomatic tensions erupted between the two countries.
Armenia hastily brought 4 SU-30 type warplanes from Syria to fill the gaps in the planes and cover up the incident. Thus, an attempt was made to create the image that the planes belonging to Armenia never left the country, but satellite photographs failed this denial. While the images left no room for doubt, it was revealed that Armenia lied to the world public opinion.
While Armenia, which has been following a policy of occupation in the South Caucasus for years, now supports the occupation of Ukraine, all these developments paved the way for Yerevan to serve conflict instead of regional peace. Now all eyes are on the reaction from the West. Now the question is: Will the world turn a blind eye to this or will it hold Armenia responsible for its actions and impose sanctions?
