Azerbaijan, Armenia faces a massive missile strike. Selected and purpose – the Metsamor nuclear power plant. At the same time, as reported by Azeri media, this will be retaliation – Armenia is also threatened by rocket attacks. Some media reported that the Armenian military leadership is also threatened by rocket attacks. In particular, under the threat allegedly the dam of the Mingachevir reservoir. The expert told the “MK” can mutual threats to turn into real punches. And also what can be the consequences if the missiles of Azerbaijan still will reach the Armenian nuclear power plant.

“Armenia should not forget that the newest missile system of Azerbaijan is able to take an accurate shot at the Metsamor nuclear power plant that will be a disaster for Armenia.” This statement of the head of the press service of the Azerbaijani defense Ministry, Colonel Vagif Dargyakhli quote from a few influential Azerbaijani media.

it is reported: defense Ministry spokesman was referring to the backlash to the threat of the Armenian side. In particular, the publication Day.az reports that Dargyakhli stated precision strike after threats of the Armenian military leadership to destroy the dam of the Mingachevir reservoir.

a spokesman for the defense Ministry of Azerbaijan Vagif Dargyakhli assured – missile defense of the Republic will not miss any Armenian rocket. The Colonel said the dam just in case still will strengthen the case of attack.

In turn, the Armenian side also said: we also have an effective response.

the Armenian army can actually build defenses and fend off missile attacks of Azerbaijan, told the “MK” military expert Alexei Leonov. – Many people think that they have adopted the old models s-75 and the like. But no: the air defense of Armenia “OSA-AKM”, Buk-M2, and long-range s-300 with new complexes “tor-М2КМ”, and of course, a Russian military base in Gyumri. So they have something to oppose.

the Expert says: if Azerbaijan did not come to themselves and decide to strike, it will go on a tactical missiles “Tochka-U”. The Ukrainian conflict in the Donbas has shown that so far these weapons effectively and is able to cause serious destruction. And such missiles is just there in service of Azerbaijan.

But Lenkov adds: against such missiles an effective tor, Buk-M2 and, of course, the s-300. According to him, even “Wasp” to deal with missile fire. She even knocked down the much-vaunted “Tomahawk”. So hope to Azerbaijanis for success is not worth it.

– and what could be a success if somehow the rockets will destroy a nuclear plant? It will be worse than Chernobyl! – angry Alex Leonov. – All will suffer: both Armenia and Azerbaijan, and Turkey. And, of course, Russia. Again razgoroditXia conflict is to appease Russia. After all, Armenia is a CSTO… in short, we need some supporters of the war to calm down and sit down at the negotiating table. We can no longer prevent the unnecessary shootings and loss, especially threats of a missile strike on a nuclear facility.

Note that the Metsamor plant in Armenia built in the 1970-ies. It provides electricity to a third of the Republic, including military base in Gyumri. Usually only works on one unit of the two. July 1, NPP stood for scheduled maintenance – preparing for the extended operation under the supervision of Rosatom. The start of the entire NPP is scheduled for September 3.

Meanwhile, it is reported that on the morning of 16 July, units of the Armenian armed forces are making another attempt to attack positions of the Azerbaijani army. The shelling was conducted with artillery. About the loss of any data yet.
