Based on the Technical Characteristics of the Kars Exercises, This is Also Offensive in Nature: Karen Hovhannisyan

According to the technical characteristics of the Kars exercises, this is also of an offensive nature. Moreover, it resembles not a blitzkrieg, but an exercise characteristic of long-term military operations.

Although the exercises are considered a Turkish-Azerbaijani joint exercise, they can be viewed more as a Turkish-Nakhichivan exercise, as only the garrison stationed in Nakhichivan is participating. Despite attempts in Azerbaijan to present them as Turkish-Azerbaijani, Turkish media refers to it as Turkish-Nakhichivan.

Turkey has not previously held exercises with such technical characteristics along its eastern border. Indeed, there have been exercises in the past, but they exclusively involved infantry or special forces, with the inclusion of armed forces arriving from Baku.

There are quite significant nuances here that require detailed analysis,” military expert Karen Hovhannisyan wrote on FB.
