"One of the F-16 fighters of the Turkish Air Force, deployed at the Ganja airfield in Azerbaijan, shot down a Su-25 assault aircraft of the Armenian Armed Forces ... Major Valery Danelin, a pilot of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia, was killed," the Armenian ministry said in a Facebook post.
Aide to the President of Azerbaijan, Hikmet Hajiyev, in turn, said that two Su-25 planes took off on the territory of Armenia, which subsequently "crashed into the mountain, exploded and were destroyed."
“The statements about the allegedly shot down of a Su-25 fighter belonging to the Armenian Armed Forces by an F-16 aircraft of the Turkish Armed Forces are completely absurd and are another misinformation of Armenia ... It would be good if the military leadership of Armenia provided information about the second plane and its pilot, and not would blame any other party, ”APA quoted him as saying.
On September 29, it was announced in Yerevan that a Turkish F-16 fighter shot down a Su-25 aircraft of the Armenian Air Force in Armenian airspace, the pilot was killed.
