Some new informations about azeri military resources actually its less than what nkr army has
International community suddenly “discloses” Azerbaijan’s true face
July 24, 2012 - 22:07 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - On Monday, July 23, a small miracle happened. All of a sudden the world “disclosed” the enormous quantity of arms Azerbaijan purchases and produces. Earlier, UN Secretary General’s report comprising Armenia’s position on Azeri violation of Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE) was spread. According to it, since January 1, 2012, Baku has breached CFE provisions by three categories. Thus, Azeri battle tank reserves total 381 (permissible limit - 220), with artillery reserves making up 516 (permissible limit - 285).
The UN report noted that Baku’s boosting military budget and aggressive anti-Armenian rhetoric intensifies tensions in the South Caucasus region, hindering Nagorno Karabakh negotiation process.
What suddenly happened to the international community?
It’s not the first time Azerbaijan has pursed policy of dynamic armament, purchasing the arms mainly from abroad, with considerable number of weapons being produced in the country itself.
It is noteworthy that the international community acknowledged the truth gradually. In late June U.S. Department of State dismissed Azerbaijan from the list of countries authorized to purchase U.S. military equipment.
This was followed by the OSCE Minsk Group’s statement on Artsakh airport, particularly on having received guarantees of non-use of force against civil aircraft.
OSCE MG further released a statement on NKR presidential elections, in which they acknowledged the “need for the de facto authorities in NK to try to organize democratically the public life of their population with such a procedure.”
These two statements sparked indignation of Baku, which accused the mediators of “hypocrisy and implementation of dirty policy.”
What is happening now?
Has Azerbaijan lost its role of an oil magnet for the international community? Perhaps, the superpowers have discovered more profitable sources of income as a result of the continued “Arab spring?” Or maybe they are tired of standing the boorish attitude of Azerbaijan, which keeps showing disrespect for calls to settle Karabakh issue peacefully, stop the war rhetoric and provocations against Armenia?
Or maybe the international community has finally resolved to heed the voice of conscience and offer fair solution to the problem?

Minefields can be cleared fairly quickly with systems like this, Phyton rocket. I know Azerbaijan has something similar to this.

The fact that Azeri special forces are able to breech the front line avoiding mines and detection will carry serious consequences if they are able to achieve that during the begging of the next war. We have always pushed them back after all their incursion, but during an

all out attack they will be HEAVILY reinforced so, i don't think it would be easy or even possible to push them back.

As embarrassing as it is , Armenia and Azerbaijan are employing the same tactics used 100 years ago during the first World War. Remember what happened when one side would charge? They would get slaughtered.

As I said, the Armenia is safe from land.

Also, those commandos you are referring to that cross Armenian front line are Azeri Special Forces. Not only are they very limited in number, but they also suck (get killed everytime). No serious operation can be carried out through such a venue.

I'm not saying that the military will not be able to eventually stop the advance, or that Armenia isn't safe. I'm saying that there are tools to degrade the advantages of fortifications and minefields. If you're in a smokescreen and you can't see ten meters away, you aren't going to be able to hit anyone. Same goes for an armored vehicle and ATGM or rpg's.

Also when i said

i was talking about the first day or so of war.

If you are using a smokescreen with infantry and armored vehicles, supported by attack helicopters su-25, guided missiles (Lar 160, Smerch, Extra) it's not the same as WW1. With advances in technology, trenches are not so impenetrable.

About the special forces. With the type of high risk mission the azeri commandos are being ordered to carry out, you're going to have losses. Just cause they died doesn't mean they weren't good soldiers. During these incursion where the azeri SF have advanced and held ground, the Armenian military was able to focus its reserves on one area of the trenches thus having a major numerical advantage. During an all out attack, the Armenian military will not be able to focus all its reserves on one area of the trenches.
