I based the territory occupied on following the trenches, so this is directly controlled territory. This does not include territory rendered uninhabitable due to the existence of military infrastructure i.e. no-mans land. This would widen the amount of territory that Armenian citizens cannot access due to Azerbaijani military presence. That would also include the disputed border villages in the news recently. Armenians aren’t even present in the village themselves, they have been rendered uninhabitable due to them being largely located in no-mans land. They have seized strategic heights in the last two years to make it nearly impossible for Armenia to stage any sort of defense of its eastern border. Azerbaijanis don’t even need drones to monitor much of eastern Armenia, they can see a lot of movement with their own eyes, as Aliyev boasts. (Drones can be countered with AA and EW systems, and give troops a screen to maneuver without being tracked. Harder to counter men with binoculars).
Edit: There are three Armenian trenches extending half a kilometer (at most) into AZ territory in the direction of Qizilhacili, another village in no-mans land. This can be found in Radio Azatutyuns video, which oddly omits all the other Armenian territory occupied in the area. (Likely due to journalistic laziness by the map editor who made the video).

Is there any viable way Armenia can defend its territory against an invasion passively without counterattacking into Azeri territories? I suspect not. We have no strategic depth.
If this is truly the case, does anyone feel confident that the current admin and MoD understand this? Or rather they may understand this, but are they willing to not sit behind magical Soviet lines?
