Azerbaijan has released a new music video with plenty of epic rock guitar riffs in honour of the military unit that guards its borders.

The four-minute video, which includes footage of President Ilham Aliyev, showcases the nation’s helicopters, heavy artillery, and underwater rocket launchers alongside vocals from Azerbaijani pop star Narmin Karimbayova.

The clip also reportedly reveals high-tech weaponry that has been manufactured in Israel and sold to Azerbaijan, which is currently in a state of suspended hostility with neighbouring Armenia over the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region.

The high-octane clip, posted earlier this month, has been viewed tens of thousands of times.
