Drone shootdown

On September 12, 2011, an UAV was reportedly shot down by the air defense arm of the Nagorno-Karabakh Defense Army over the airspace of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, near Vazgenashen, previously known as Gulably. Preliminary investigations carried out by the NKDA have determined the model to be a Hermes 450 type.
The Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense initially denied losing any drones. But several days later the state news agency APA, citing a Turkish tabloid newspaper, came out with an elaborate explanation that the UAV was supposedly operated by Israel and making reconnaissance flights from Armenia to spy on Iran.
