Tochka missile systems were in service with the armies of Armenia and Azerbaijan. Moreover, if you believe the reference books, the number of launchers was the same-four combat vehicles.

If the Armenian side managed to maintain the equipment in a combat-ready state, there were doubts about the serviceability of the material part that their opponents had. So, there were reports that all missiles purchased in Ukraine in 2008 have expired.

During the outbreak of the military conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh, the "Dots" were put into operation at the end of September. On September 30, the military Department of Azerbaijan reported a strike on civilian objects on its territory. Armenia denied this information.

On October 6, video footage of the launch of one such missile at an unknown Azerbaijani target appeared on the Internet.

On October 9, another rocket hit the Fizuli district. At the same time, they published a photo of the surviving tail section, which fell to the ground after the cluster warhead, which had 50 fragmentation warheads, was triggered. However, Azerbaijani sources did not report any damage. Although this is natural in wartime conditions.

There have also been reports of the use of such weapons by Azerbaijan, although there is still no single fact confirming this.

The war in Nagorno-Karabakh was the seventh in a row where "Dots"were used. Previously, they were used in the first half of the 90s in Yemen, then during the second military campaign in Chechnya, during the peace enforcement of Georgia, in the Donbass, again in Yemen and Syria.
