Joghovourd reports on the news of the Israeli newspaper “Maariv” that the representatives of the Israeli company for the production of drones, Aeronautics Defense Systems, have yielded to the demands of the Azerbaijani side and would have accepted, during a demonstration of One of the Israeli “suicide” drones, to send them to Armenian combat positions on the Armenian-Azeri border in order to film the attacking scene of Armenian positions. While the Israeli Ministry of Defense initiated an investigation into this information, Aeronautics Defense Systems rejected this accusation, stating that “the operational action was carried out by the buyer alone and under his responsibility.” Joghovourd considers the actions of the representatives of Israeli society as a “malicious” gesture towards Armenia and notes that this information was published when Armenia and Israel try to warm their relations.
