decrease or increase?

Um according to pretty much every article I readed about Azerbaijan they are increasing their entire military not decreasing it, milk anyone? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 85.146.213.29 (talk) 21:15, 27 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

JF-17

Any confirmation? 10:52, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

The AzAF is in negotiations for 24-26 JF-17's but none has been delivered. -- Adeptitus (talk) 05:52, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

100 F-16C?

I was reading about Azerbaijan's Air force's future plans and it was written F-16C Multirole fighters - 100 is there any reliable source for this?

1918?

If Azerbaijan became independent in 1991 how the hell can their airforce be from 1918? This was changed by an anonymous user in 2008 so it doesn't seem that likely... Fontes (talk) 14:11, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relationship between Azerbaijani Air Force and Air Defense Force

Inasmuch as there is a lot of confusion regarding this relationship (see discussion on Neftchi's user page), I have done some research through English-language material on the AzAF. While I can’t offer a definitive answer, the more reliable and authoritative sources refer to the Azeri Air Force and Air Defense Force as a unified organization, and this seems to have been the case since the national defense organizations were established in Oct. 1991 through at least the spring of 2009. (A typical example is Defence in the Republic of Azerbaijan.) Leading news and diplomatic sources formally reporting the murder of Lt. Gen. Rail Rzayev last February note his title as being the chief of the “air force and air defense command”.[1]

Nonetheless, the exact formal organization of this command is unclear. While it appears that the air defense is directly subordinate to the head of the unified command – particularly since the term “Air Force” seems to be used to represent both the aviation arm specifically and the unified command as a whole – I have found nothing specific on the AzAF command structure. I haven’t fully dug through Milaz.info, but so far I’ve found nothing useful on this issue.

As far as Wikipedia is concerned, these forces could be addressed in one or two articles, but inasmuch as it appears to be a unified command, I tend to believe that it should be one article under the AzAF title, since this appears to be common usage.

Many sources say the official name is Azerbaijani Air and Air Defense Forces. So, it is unclear what the exact name is but it seems to be one single organization. Tuscumbia (talk) 20:41, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

MiG-29 Fulcrums

This satellite picture shows 41 MiG-29s at Sumgait Airbase. You can zoom in and count them. Shouldnt this be reflected in the article? Neftchi (talk) 09:58, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Azerbaijani Air and Air Defence Force

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Azerbaijani Air and Air Defence Force's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 02:44, 16 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
