Baku TV's "Military Chronicle" analyzed the changing military balance and modern artillery concepts in the South Caucasus after Armenia's election.

Despite peace hopes after the 30-year conflict, Armenia acquired India's "Trajan" artillery system, while Azerbaijan purchased Serbia's "Nora B-52 NG" howitzers, signaling an ongoing arms modernization race.

The shift to 155mm NATO-standard systems replaces Soviet-era 122mm and 152mm platforms, enabling longer range, precision, and maneuverability.

Modern military superiority now depends on mobility, speed, and integrated systems, not just firepower. The Caucasus artillery balance is being redefined according to new combat concepts.
