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.

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

    With the advancement of wired or wireless electronic interface, there is not a single reason to have the operators part of the tank.
    Shooting dumb artillery is becoming obsolete. Mass produced, small, smart missiles will cut the need of all the heavy protection.
    Tanks might still have that old image of advancement and conquering, but it is quickly turning to the image of rotisserie chicken for the ones that are behind ATGMs.
    All I can say Thank God we do not need to do any major advancements with tanks. For now they are being used on our territories and still they are not doing too well. They are basically moving artilleries with easily being targeted. Around (200) Kornet-EM ATGM with very heavy protective cages at a meter away will be the best “tanks”.

      Unlike Japanese, Chinese, or German technologies, Israeli tech is easy to copy because it's not complicated.
      It could be because Israel being small country tries to keep things simpler and easier to produce. Advanced, quality and ingenious, but simple.
      We really don't know how good they are comparing to Russian and US technology. The thing is , if a friend like Russia gave us a military donation of even 5 billion , I'm sure we will invest it into advanced production of Military Hardware. Just like how the US gives Israel.

        Yes, the Merkava III and IV are better protected than the T-72A,M, and M1 variants.
        The T-72B, B1 with kontakt-1 is better than the 3 variants I listed above, but they're still inferior to the Merk.
        The Merk has the engine in the front side of the hull to increase protection, while the Russian tanks have it in the rear.
        The T-90A with welded turret performed better than the T-72s in Syria.
        The main issue with the T-72 is the placement of the ammo compartment which makes it detonate like crazy almost everytime it's hit with an ATGM.
        We have one T-72A that exploded into pieces last April.
        Can Armenia modify T72 turrets?
        I mean, not invent a brand new turret, but cut open the back and install a magazine just like western tanks have and put a thick protective wall/door there.
        I know that self loader will be useless, but hell with it. It's better that ordinance explode toward back/out and not harm our boys, even if they shoot slower. I have seen T72 rapid fire and it's not that rapid anyway.
        There will be open space left in hull on both sides that can be used to put more protection.
        Soviets/Russians never valued crew lives. But that translates into fear among crew and lowers efficiency.

          You really do have to wonder what in the world they were firing a single ATGM at? Seems like an army in disarray.

            Thing is if the autoloader is ditched, you're gonna end up needing one additional crew member to operate the gun like the US M60 tank.
            I don't think there's enough room for another person given that the T-72 is shorter than the M60 and Abrams.
            I would work on armor and a new engine.
            The Relikt armor which is more advanced than Kontakt-5 on T-90 is a good choice.
            The Soviets didn't care about casualties and that's why they designed their tanks this way that is true.

              Won't tandem-charges go through the armor?

                Haha I was thinking the same thing. You think there are Magic Mushrooms growing on there side ? The food thing about this is that now we know that the Azik Army have Spike ATGM on the borders .
