Abstract

U ovome radu cilj je bio istaknuti utjecaj sve prisutnijih bespilotnih letjelica na modernom
bojištu na primjeru Drugog rata u Gorskom Karabahu te kako primjena takvih oružja utječe na
primjenu topničkih i PZO postrojbi te koje lekcije možemo naučiti iz onoga što se dogodilo. Rad
ukratko prikazuje širu sliku dugogodišnjeg sukoba Azerbajdžana i Armenije oko područja
Gorskog Karabaha kao i uzrok novog rata koji se dogodio u jesen 2020. godine. Nadalje,
posebno su istaknuta oružja i sustavi koji su bili ključni u ovome ratu i koji su utjecali na
konačni ishod samih borbenih djelovanja. U ovome ratu posebno se istaknula primjena
bespilotnih letjelica te je njihova primjena od strane Azerbajdžana objašnjena kroz zadaće
izviđanja i nadzora te napadnih djelovanja. Na kraju rada iznijete su naučene lekcije prepoznate
iz ovoga sukoba, a posebno su naglašene lekcije za Oružane snage Republike Hrvatske te
prijedlozi njihova daljnjeg razvoja.

Abstract (english)

In this thesis, the aim was to highlight the impact of more often use of drones on the modern
battlefield in the example of the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War and how the use of such
weapons affects the use of artillery and air defense units, and what lessons we can learn from
what happened. The paper briefly presents a broader picture of the long-standing conflict
between Azerbaijan and Armenia over the Nagorno-Karabakh region and points up the cause of
the new war that took place in the autumn of 2020. Furthermore, special emphasis was placed on
the weapons and systems that were crucial in this war and that influenced the outcome of the
combat operations themselves. In this war, the use of unmanned aerial vehicles was emphasized,
and their use by Azerbaijan was explained through the tasks of reconnaissance and surveillance,
and offensive operations. At the very end of the paper, the lessons learned from this conflict are
presented, while the lessons for the Armed Forces of the Republic of Croatia and suggestions for
their further development are especially accentuated.
