Airplanes has been used to project power from the air since the first world war when the airplanes were primitive and initially used for reconnaissance. Since then, technology has progressed at a steady pace which now allows the use of unmanned aerial vehicles to carry out all sorts of missions, even offensive ones. The second Nagorno-Karabakh war in 2020 between Azerbaijan and Armenia was one of the first true modern drone wars, where neither of the belligerents had an adequate air force to project their power from the air. Instead, Azerbaijan relied heavily on the use of newly acquired unmanned combat aerial vehicles and loitering munition. This study aims to further examine and describe the Azerbaijani use of drones to coerce Armenia to give back the earlier seized territory of Azerbaijan in the Nagorno-Karabakh region, using Shaun Clarkes theory “Strategic Persuasion Oriented Targeting”. The results of the analysis showed that Azerbaijan was successful in two out of four aspects; impact and asymmetric response, while the aspects communication and law of armed conflicts in this specific case leaves something to be desired. Overall, this case demonstrates how a small state without a great air force still can manage to project air power and influence the opponent's supreme decision making body to abandon their desired objective.
