“””It’s AP. Fake news.”””

Yes, I agree it is AP and should be considered for what it is.
Namely, that AP is trying to make Israel look bad.

Nope.

Israel was the source of 69% percent of Azerbaijan’s arms imports in the last five years, the report said, and Anghel revealed the large role that Israeli drones like the Harop played in the war between Azerbaijan and Armenian fighters last year.

According to Middle East Eye, Azerbaijan also was able to use an Israeli interceptor system to shoot down an Armenian Iskander ballistic missile.

“An Iskander ballistic missile was launched by Yerevan directly into the capital days before the ceasefire,” the official said, according to the report. “It was concerning for Azerbaijani officials. But a missile defense system operated by the Azerbaijani military, an Israeli-made Barak-8, shot it down.” Azeri officials told Anghel that they also used hundreds of Israeli Harop drones.

The Harop is a kamikaze drone, basically a munition that is more akin to a cruise missile. It can “loiter,” which is why it is called a loitering munition, meaning it can fly around looking for targets and then proceed to strike. A cruise missile can’t do that.
