Czech and Slovak sources have reported about more than 70 DITA howitzers for Azerbaijan (probably 72 units = 4 divisions). This would be in addition to 48 Nora B52. So a total of 118+ new 155mm self-propelled howitzers. DITA is fully automatized with only 2 crew members.

No way you made this about Erdogan? Azerbaijan has stated that Russian peacekeepers are temporarily stationed from day 1, Ilham Aliyev also said it himself multiple times. Russia don’t seem to care much about Turkey’s position in Syria, for example.
