This jamming devices are good only on conventional drones and can be used by polis and such to protect facilities or airports from hobby drone piloting.
But they are no good for military drones.
Besides our army has much more powerful jamming technology modernized by our guys.

Thanks! good news

We lost Western Armenia because of idiotic cheap talk like these. Looks like we haven't learned.

Now there's a professional army, and if these volunteers will gossip too much all of them should be sent home. Period.

If you guys want to know what is really sweet, than this is.
The chest thumping roar and then angry shshshshsh of projectile, flying to enemy target many miles away to mersilesly do it's job.
This is loaded by two parts, first projectile is slid and rammed in chamber. Then the ordinance guy (the "monkey boy" as they call them in naval canonery) opens the casing where the charges are laid in a number of pouches in maximum powder charge level. He then takes out some pouches according chief gunners calculated instruction (amount of charge correlates to distance of target and elevation of barrel). He then hands over charge casing to loader who Rams it into chamber and closes the breach.
In a deafening silence everybody waits for the order to fire. Then gun comes to life with your heart. Air pushes your chest and ears become deaf for a second. Time slows but inside of you. Everything jumps. The hushsh of flyer and then sweet smell of gunpowder.
You try to catch the explosion from far away and hear it in your mind even if it is too far away or chocked in thousand explosions.
You have no fear from enemy. All you need is your gun to keep roaring.
Then everybody jumps and runs to do the same routine again to feed this monster but which is like a lover queen having orgazms over and over with crew of her servants.
Gunners are a breed of their own. After a while they all become very attached to their gun.

It's not a gossip.
You will find no one having slightly known Manvel in Artsakh, who will tell a positive word about him in prived. People are just obliged/forced by the regime, to tolerate the charachter, most of the time, by silence. You will hardly find a person having faught, saying a positive word on him.
His handdling of the Hakop Kamari battle in Martakert is one of the most infamous of our first war...
The only motto of his was: "Manvel never retreats", and no matter the costs in life.....
And yes, he never retreated, burning hundreds of lives....

I've been in the sector he was in charge of after the cease-fire. So I say what I've seen, not Gossip.
He litterally destroyed the basic infrastructure of the huge district, using army harware, helicopters, cranes.... to sell as crap metal to the persians..., even in plunder he was evidently illetrate, criminally illetrate.
His HQ was pulled back by the local Hadrutsis discontent, every couple of years, from Mekhakavan to reach Goris at the end.
It's been 24 years since, and our NKR budget did not manage to rebuild a fraction of what he dilapidated for kopeks....

I wish it was, but sadly it's not gossip.
He and Liska are the most infamous of all names of the genre...
Yet one is still a kind of operette general, most of the time DEAD DRUNK, named head of the Yerkrabah Union, thus dilapidating the one thing the thousands of veterans still do have, their good fame..., reason of noisy departures and divorces by known fighters...
The other is still the Governor of Syunik, no matter his repeated offences and crimes, even against an active high ranking army officer from Askeran, the most strategic point of the front... seemingly untouchable.... and does plunder the most lucrative Marz, since home of our biggest mining industry, known for its plunder size...

So, it's not Gossip.

If interested, this is the defense of the Manvel team...., cult of personality by illetrates, given full power + inpunity behind secure lines

U.S. alloted $20 mln in military aid to Azerbaijan, $41.000 to Armenia


Azerbaijan has gotten $20 million in military aid from the U.S. Department of Defense over the last ten years, while Armenia has gotten nearly nothing, a review of U.S. government documents shows, according to EurasiaNet.

Baku has benefited in particular from two Pentagon aid programs, known as Section 1004 and Section 1206, which are subject to less Congressional oversight and less stringent public reporting requirements.

Azerbaijan has gotten $8.5 million since 2005 in funding from Section 1004, which provides counternarcotics assistance, and $11.5 million from Section 1206, which provides counterterrorism aid. Armenia, by contrast, has gotten just $41,000 in Section 1004 funding and no Section 1206 money, according to data collected by the Washington advocacy group Security Assistance Monitor, which maintains a database of the various U.S. military assistance programs.

Much of the money for Azerbaijan has been targeted toward naval forces, to reduce the risk that it could be used against Armenia (which is landlocked) and because of the U.S.'s interest in protecting Caspian energy infrastructure.

But not all of the training went to naval forces. In 2013, U.S. special forces soldiers conducted two month-long counternarcotics training programs for 50 members of Azerbaijan's Ministry of National Security counterterrorism unit, at a cost of $916,000. Two years later, that unit would be disbanded along with the entire ministry as part of an internal power struggle that also sent many senior officials to prison.

And State Department programs can also benefit soldiers both from Armenia and Azerbaijan who may end up fighting one another. One senior Azerbaijani special forces commander who was killed in the April violence between the two countries known as the four-day war, Vugar Yusifov, took part in an army intelligence course (run through the State Department) in 2007 at Ft. Huachuca, in Arizona, according to Azerbaijani news reports. According to State Department records, just one Azerbaijani officer took such a course in 2007, which lasted five months and which cost the U.S. $23,582, EurasiaNet says. (Credit goes to journalist/analyst Emil Sanamyan for catching Yusifov's U.S. connection.)

U.S. policy has been to attempt to be even-handed by restricting aid to Armenia equally. The Departments of State and Defense, in their annual report on military aid to Congress in 2008, wrote that "Section 907 previously prohibited most U.S. assistance to the Government of Azerbaijan and as part of a policy of even-handedness, the previous Administration extended this prohibition to security assistance to Armenia." But the Pentagon aid programs clearly throw off that balance in Azerbaijan's favor.

Last month's flareup in fighting between the two countries over Nagorno Karabakh -- the worst violence since a ceasefire was signed in 1994 -- has revived debate about U.S. military aid in the region. U.S. law, in particular another "Section" -- 907 -- has restricted U.S. aid to Azerbaijan since 1992, but since 2001 those restrictions have been waived every year.

The most recent waiver was issued April 21, when the State Department affirmed that U.S. aid to Azerbaijan:

Is necessary to support United States efforts to counter international terrorism;

Is necessary to support the operational readiness of United States Armed Forces or coalition partners to counter international terrorism;

Is important to Azerbaijan's border security; and

Will not undermine or hamper ongoing efforts to negotiate a peaceful settlement between Armenia and Azerbaijan or be used for offensive purposes against Armenia.

In the wake of the fighting there have been calls to fix Section 907; Armenian lobby groups have called for the U.S. to suspend all aid to Azerbaijan, while Azerbaijan has said the restrictions should be removed altogether.

Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan

How could you call land useless? It's the most idiotic statement I've ever heard. Turks die for a centimetre and morons like you think about Armenian lives. If people like you governed our country , we would have bubble wrap around our borders. Sadly in our geographical state soldiers are going to die. But in there name we should have many more and resist Turkic claims and violence. Armenians in history have died to keep our land out of enemy hands. What makes this generation not equivalent? If you allow an enemy to take a cm he will take a metre. Useless land , wasted land, contaminated or whatever , all you're doing is driving there spirit to take a larger bite next time.

Been saying this for years....well said.

We should be taking our lands back Km, m, mm, nanometers makes no difference......it will drive Turks to think twice about Armenians. We are not the Armenian populace as they were in 1915.
