The conflict studied in this paper is the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War 2020 and it focuses on drones and their psychological importance during the conflict. The 44-day long war between Azerbaijan and Armenia was the first conflict in history in which armed drones were as a primary means used. Previous research concludes that although drones were essential in the conflict it did not define the course of the war. The purpose of this study is to contribute to a deeper understanding of the Second Nagorno-Karabakh war by examining the importance of the use of drone to alter the course of the war, including examining the significance of the psychological aspect of the use of drones during the conflict. This study conducts a meta-analysis of current research to deepen our understanding of the conflict as well as in deeper meanings of the text. The analysis uses a methodology of posing open questions to two explanatory theories, John Keegans ’the face of battle’ and Lars Henåkers and Peter Thunholms ‘ideal model’. The findings of this study suggests that the use of drones was important for the Azerbaijani forces, since they achieved air superiority by destroying the Armenian air defence by the use of drones. The study also finds that the psychological aspect of drones was significant since the drone threat became more important during the course of the war.
