Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

  • Before believing in any number of Azeri casualties we should look onto what they were after and what was the outcome.
    I have a hard time believing all their plans were limited only to whatever was possible to do by a battalion of special forces. In 27 years of war with us Azeris pretty well know about their capabilities and our's.
    By using special force to the front line can never be the end game. It was most likely only the start. By knowing that there would be a hard resistance from us which could result in very hard losses in general army attack, they tried their yashmas to do the job efficiently and go over the front lines. But if this was the only plan, it would be a stupid waste.
    After the front was breached, it would be stupid not to pour in the regular army. That was their plan.
    But the high losses given to their SF by our regulars and only few position gains and also how our people unified and moved to fight made clear that price to pay was going to be much much higher. Maybe a catastrophe.
    558 is only a catastrophe to SF, not to what a whole plan was.
    Would we start a fight on the whole front but use and plan for only a couple thousand special force, given that front line will be breached one way or another(specially if all our goal is to liberate the land)?
    The whole army must be committed.
    But if results are so bad that everything can go down the drain, you hastily ask for a ceasefire.
    We saw our deficiencies, but those were on front trench observation equipment only.
    The main artillery and our spy drones nobody has complained about.
    Artillery's main function is not to chase decapitated special force platoons. Specially if they are in very close combat with your forces in trenches. It's main function is to hit enemy gatherings before they attack. When enemy concentrates in order to attack in large numbers your artillery becomes an owesome killer.
    We did not have time to bring large troop groups to front line to counter attack, they did.
    That is why we saw azeris use smerches and TOS 1s but there were no effects.
    But our artillery? We saw and heard reports about good effects.
    We have a habit of undermining our efforts and for Azeri like side it's a blessing.
    One good hit by a 152-155mm artillery shrapnel shell can kill 20-30 ppl.
    3-4 days of bombardment of enemy by 100-200 muzzles as they try to come forward in groups can mean losses in thousands.

        • Azerbaijan Demonstrated New Anti-tank Rockets

          The Azerbaijani border guard services held exercises in the Caspian Sea, demonstrating for the first time the Israeli LAHAT (SkyBow)anti-tank rockets which are launched from MI-17 helicopters, haqqin.az informed.
          SkyBow rockets are operated through semi-active laser guidance. The helicopters are armed with two four-tube launchers and a MOSP-3000D electro-optical system for targeting. Azerbaijan is the first foreign client of helicopter-mounted LAHAT rockets. MI-17 helicopters armed with LAHAT can strike tanks at 13 km.

            Politics is not about the pursuit of morality nor what's right or wrong
            Its about self interest at personal and national level often at odds with the above.
            Great politicians pursue the National interest and small politicians personal interests

                  I doubt this can be used full 13KM in mountains. On flat terrain for sure, but on flat terrain AA sistem will get the chopper before it comes 13 KM close to tanks.
                  If this work with forward pointer for laser than they are as good as other similar rockets as smerches.

                    They want to be hight enough to see the tanks (if they can) but not high enough to be detected by radars. They might get one missile by surprise after that it will be war and everything flying will come done. The shekelists have them idiots wrapped around their middle finger. For the last two years they have been scratching their head how to attack us and they are failing miserably.
