The Azerbaijani Air Forces were built in 1992 out of the Soviet aircraft left on Azerbaijani soil, flew MiG-25s, Su-25s and helicopters flown partly by hired former Soviet pilots in the first Karabakh war, and three decades later won their second war largely with Turkish and Israeli drones — and since 2024 they have been rebuilding the manned fleet around the Pakistani-Chinese JF-17 Block III.

その物語

The Azerbaijani Air Forces story: Soviet leftovers, two Karabakh wars and the JF-17

1918–1992: first aircraft, Soviet regiments and a contested inheritance

Azerbaijan dates its military aviation to the short-lived Democratic Republic of 1918–1920, which according to English Wikipedia bought its first military aircraft on 26 June 1918; the Red Army ended that state in 1920. For the next seven decades the airfields of Soviet Azerbaijan belonged to Moscow. By the late 1980s the 34th Air Army had Su-24 and Su-17 bombers at Kurdamir, Su-24MR and MiG-25RB reconnaissance jets of the 882nd regiment at Dollyar and Su-25s of the 80th assault regiment at Sitalchay, while the air defence forces’ 82nd Fighter Aviation Regiment flew MiG-25 interceptors from Nasosnaya. When the Soviet Union broke up, much of this left. Overnight on 9–10 June 1992 large numbers of aircraft were flown to Russia, but Azerbaijan kept the 38 MiG-25PDS of the 82nd regiment at Nasosnaya plus five MiG-25s under repair, and seized the Sitalchay Su-25s in August 1992. The air force was assembled from what stayed behind.

1992–1994: the first Karabakh war in the air

It went to war almost at once. In the first Nagorno-Karabakh war Azerbaijan used its inherited MiG-25s, Su-24s, Su-25s, MiG-21s bought from abroad, L-29 and L-39 trainers armed for ground attack, and Mi-24 and Mi-8 helicopters. English Wikipedia counts about 45 combat aircraft, often flown by Russian and Ukrainian mercenaries from the old Soviet forces. Human Rights Watch, which documented violations of the laws of war by Karabakh Armenian and Azerbaijani forces alike, recorded “a withering air and artillery bombardment” of Karabakh, including civilians, in the summer of 1992, and listed “indiscriminate use of air power resulting in civilian casualties” among the Azerbaijani violations. Loss figures for the war are compiled from mixed and partisan sources and differ widely; the war ended with the Russian-mediated ceasefire of 12 May 1994, with Armenian forces holding Nagorno-Karabakh and seven surrounding districts.

1994–2016: ceasefire, MiG-29s from Ukraine and a murdered commander

The long ceasefire was spent rebuilding. Lieutenant General Rail Rzayev, a Soviet air defence officer, commanded the air force from 1993. The MiG-25 was retired as MiG-29s arrived; FlightGlobal counted 12 single-seat and three two-seat MiG-29s in 2024, and eleven Su-24s were listed in 2008 but were gone by 2021. The United States helped modernise airfields and radars as part of Azerbaijan’s partnership with NATO, and Turkey took on the command system. On 11 February 2009 Rzayev was shot dead outside his home in Baku. Israel became a major supplier: a deal worth $1.6 billion in 2012 and a licence to build Orbiter and Aerostar drones near Baku. On 12 November 2014 Azerbaijani forces shot down an Armenian Mi-24 near the line of contact with an Igla-S missile, killing its three crew; Baku said it was attacking, Yerevan that it was unarmed and on exercise.

2016–2020: the April clashes and the drone turn

The April 2016 fighting, four days along the line of contact, was the first test of the new model. An Azerbaijani Mi-24 was shot down on 2 April, a loss the Azerbaijani defence ministry confirmed. More significant was the drone: an Israeli IAI Harop loitering munition struck a bus carrying Armenian volunteers on 5 April, killing seven, the type’s first combat use anywhere. Each government’s casualty figures differed sharply, and a Moscow-brokered ceasefire on 5 April left Azerbaijan holding ground that it described as strategic and Armenia as of no strategic importance. In July 2020 fighting on the northern border near Tovuz brought Armenian claims of 13 Azerbaijani drones shot down, which Baku denied. In June 2020 defence minister Zakir Hasanov announced the purchase of Turkish Bayraktar drones, and Hermes 900s had already been acquired from Israel.

2020 and 2023: the 44-day war and the September offensive

The 44-day war from 27 September to 10 November 2020 is remembered for the drones. Azerbaijan used the Bayraktar TB2 to find and strike Armenian artillery, armour and air defence and to relay targets to its own artillery, alongside Israeli Harop, Orbiter and SkyStriker munitions; CSIS noted that Soviet-era An-2 biplanes were converted to remote control and flown as decoys to draw fire from Armenian air defences. Manned aircraft flew too: on 4 October a Su-25 was shot down and its pilot, Colonel Zaur Nudiraliyev, killed, a loss Baku acknowledged in December. Armenia said a Turkish F-16 had shot down one of its Su-25s on 29 September; Turkey and Azerbaijan denied it. The Azerbaijani government put its military dead at 2,906; Armenia’s official figure is 3,825. On 20 September 2023 a one-day offensive, which Baku called local anti-terrorist measures, ended the Karabakh Armenian administration, and some 100,000 people left for Armenia.

2024–2026: JF-17s, C-27Js and a new generation of commanders

Since 2024 the manned fleet has been changing faster than at any time since 1992. Pakistan and Azerbaijan signed a $1.6 billion contract for JF-17 Block III fighters in February 2024, and in June 2025 Pakistan announced a $4.6 billion deal for 40 aircraft; deliveries to Nasosnaya began in October 2025, and five JF-17s flown by Azerbaijani pilots appeared over Baku on 8 November 2025. Two Leonardo C-27J transports ordered in 2023 began to arrive in June 2024, and Akinci heavy drones came from Turkey. The command also turned over: Ramiz Tahirov, commander for ten years, left in April 2024, and English Wikipedia names Namig Islamzade as his successor from September 2024. On 25 December 2024 an Azerbaijan Airlines Embraer crashed at Aktau after being damaged on a flight from Baku to Grozny; President Aliyev said Russian air defences had shot it down unintentionally, and in October 2025 President Putin acknowledged that a Russian missile had struck the aircraft.

It went to war almost at once. In the first Nagorno-Karabakh war Azerbaijan used its inherited MiG-25s, Su-24s, Su-25s, MiG-21s bought from abroad, L-29 and L-39 trainers armed for ground attack, and Mi-24 and Mi-8 helicopters.Azerbaijani Air Forces · verified 2026-09-30

Two fighter types and an attack jet. The JF-17サンダー Block III arrived from Pakistan in October 2025, with 40 on order; about 14–15 MiG-29 remain according to FlightGlobal and Wikipedia; and about 25 Su-25 fly close support. Azerbaijan does not publish official counts.
How many JF-17s has Azerbaijan bought?
Forty, according to Pakistan’s announcement in June 2025 of a $4.6 billion contract, which built on a $1.6 billion agreement signed in February 2024. Deliveries to Nasosnaya began in October 2025 and five aircraft flew over Baku in the Victory Day parade on 8 November 2025. Azerbaijan has not published the contract itself.
Did drones win the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war?
They were central to it, by most analysts’ accounts. CSIS wrote that Azerbaijan’s Turkish Bayraktar TB2s performed well against Armenian air defences, artillery and armour, alongside Israeli loitering munitions and remote-controlled An-2 decoys. Ground forces, artillery and manned aircraft also fought, and Azerbaijan lost at least one Su-25 and two TB2s.
Where did the Azerbaijani Air Force come from?
From Soviet aircraft left behind in 1992. Most Soviet regiments flew their aircraft to Russia on 9–10 June 1992, but Azerbaijan kept 38 MiG-25PDS interceptors at Nasosnaya and five more under repair, and seized the Su-25 regiment at Sitalchay in August 1992. English Wikipedia traces the service’s roots to 1918–1920.
Who flew Azerbaijan’s aircraft in the first Karabakh war?
Partly foreign pilots. English Wikipedia says the roughly 45 combat aircraft were often flown by Russian and Ukrainian mercenaries from the former Soviet forces. Human Rights Watch recorded indiscriminate Azerbaijani air attacks on Karabakh in 1992, and in the same report documented violations by Karabakh Armenian forces.
Who commands the Azerbaijani Air Forces?
Lieutenant General Namig Islamzade, named commander in September 2024 according to English Wikipedia. He succeeded Lieutenant General Ramiz Tahirov, who held the post of Deputy Minister of Defence and Commander of the Air Force from 14 May 2014 to 29 April 2024. The first long-serving commander, Rail Rzayev (1993–2009), was shot dead in Baku on 11 February 2009.
Did Azerbaijan shoot down Azerbaijan Airlines Flight 8243?
No. The Embraer 190 crashed near Aktau in Kazakhstan on 25 December 2024, killing 38 of the 67 on board. President Ilham Aliyev said it had been shot down unintentionally by Russia; Kazakhstan’s interim report found damage from external objects, and on 9 October 2025 President Putin acknowledged that a Russian air defence missile had hit the aircraft.
Did Azerbaijan shoot down a Russian helicopter in 2020?
Yes. On 9 November 2020, the last night of the war, Azerbaijani forces shot down a Russian Mi-24 over Armenia near the Nakhchivan border with a portable missile, killing two of the three crew. Azerbaijan’s foreign ministry called it an accident, apologised and offered compensation, and Russia’s foreign ministry welcomed the swift admission.
