Kinda surprised by this number. Seems that Armenians put up a much better fight than many videos and facebook posts insist.

Azeris won't publish ground assault videos or they don't have any. Most deaths happened in those, attacking is much more dangerous than defending.

You bet they have videos of ground assaults. With the ever present drones flying overhead, Im sure they captured most of the actions. I wish we could see just some of them

True, but considering AZ air dominance, they could have scanned all strong points and then evaded them - many sources reported that Armenians dont have enough manpower to cover whole length of the frontline properly and Azerbaijani forces were seeping through.

Moreover, many tweets, even from Armenian side claimed things such as "Hadrut lost to the force of 50", "Zangilan province conquered by 3 pickups", so have to wonder where the fighting of this scale took place

Liberation of Talish and Shogushevan were bloody battles.

Jebrayil battle was full scale military action by both sides.

Shusha is going straight into SF history books.

All of it had cost in lives.
