It is very difficult to estimate the losses Armenia and Azerbaijan suffered in the second war in the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region. What is even more difficult – if not impossible – is for the Army Staff of each country to accurately reveal its losses.
Thus, the only source of information that an analyst can have regarding the magnitude of the disaster is open source intelligence (OSINT). The amount of material available on the internet is enormous and its detailed recording seems like a very difficult task. Nevertheless, the most accurate record of military equipment destroyed or seized during the war between Armenia and Azerbaijan can be found on oryx spioenkophowever website.

In its article, dated 27/09/2020 (the day when the war broke out), the website records, based on available information, all the seized or damaged equipment of the two countries to date. The source of information on the website is mainly the Army Staff of each country and the material published during the war, various photos and videos of war correspondents on the battlefield, photos and videos posted by the soldiers themselves and all audiovisual material available (and deemed valid) on the internet.
Of course, the oryx spioenkop website explicitly points out that the amount of military equipment destroyed is undoubtedly higher than what is recorded in the post, because some losses may not have been visually recorded.
In the article entitled: “The Fight For Nagorno-Karabakh: Documenting Losses on The Sides Of Armenia and Azerbaijan”, you can see in detail all the tanks, armoured fighting vehicles, armoured personnel carriers, multiple rocket launchers, trucks and even the strategic points that were destroyed, all documented with photos.
What follows is a summary of the military equipment that was either seized, destroyed or damaged.
