Baku TV's "Military Chronicle" highlighted the strategic importance of the Gunnut Operation. Conducted in May 2018 near Nakhchivan, it showcased the high readiness of the Azerbaijani Army.

The main goals were to deter the enemy, restore control, and seize strategic heights. The operation was carried out with minimal losses in difficult mountainous terrain.

Engineering fortifications consolidated positions, increasing security of the Arpachay reservoir. Communication lines in the Daralayaz direction were brought under control.

The Gunnut Operation confirmed the army's combat potential and created psychological superiority. The experience gained was later applied in the 44-day Patriotic War.

These measures ensure the army's continuous development, turning it into a reliable deterrent force.
