> I believe that the Armenian defeat was caused by their soviet era tactics and command

The military doctrine hasn't changed much from the soviet era, except guess what: drones!

Azeri doctrine changed to reflect a more western style. Also, if you watch drone footage from the war, you'll see that the armenian infantry and armor took very few (if any) measures to mitigate that disadvantage, there's a seriously noticeable lack of dispersion, camouflage and many identifiable patterns throughout the war that could have been changed if a more western, professional approach had been taken
