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.

    Producing, manufacturing UAVs is at its infancy for most countries.

    Undoubtedly the US and Israel have a huge edge ( perhaps 5-10 years)

    Additionally they have technology which is restricted from most non allied countries.


    Israel will not sell its latest product.

    If Armenia can get on a fast development curve Azerbaijan will be blowing huge amounts of money for nothing
    buying products and designs off the shelf which will be obsolete after short periods.

    .
    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

      Sure, but the technology it gives to Azerbaijan it won't mind sharing with Armenia through some channels because it knows that as a result Azerbaijan will buy more and more (because they will see us with such weapons also). In the end, Azeris are blowing through huge amounts of money while we are getting these technologies at fraction prices or for free via Russian channels. Israel doesn't give a sh*t who wins in karabakh, they just want their oil for weapons business with Azerbaijan. All the big players are trying to maintain the military balance between Armenia and Azerbaijan, because they don't want any side to have a substantial military advantage. Do you think the visit of the Italian Defence Minister and the US Navy Minister some time ago, was just by accident? The West and other players know that Azerbaijan has a big money advantage, so they want to make sure both sides are militarily at par to keep the status quo and keep stability in the region. This is what superpowers have always been doing and they will continue to do this.

          Some of you guys are so lost it's not even funny. We made our own UAV, the rest is just fantasy some of you have, this is really dangerous. For starters get a grip on reality before spewing nonsense! We built Migs, we can build UAV’s and more. This is the typical Armenian sickness in thinking that someone else had the build them. Get your facts straight, and stop daydreaming. Anything a Je w can build an Armenian can build better. The only behind the scenes talk going on is how lost some of you guys are...LOL

          Hakop pointed out several times already how they are getting their tech. Does not mean we have to glorify them for being thieves, nor should we shortchange our own accomplishments.

              Vahram's is not just an attidue.
              Currently I am working in an industry, where few engineers came from military avionics field. I have heard facts about specific technology developments in USA, which ended up used first in Israel.
              I think that many of you guys are too young to remember avioclubs and radioclubs in Yerevan schools and some of the people that came frome those into soviet engineering institutes.
              One thing. You have to be blind and crazy no to ask yourselfs, how is it that Armenia is the first nation to bring down Israeli built drone. If we were not good and into it ourselfs then how did we manage to come up with counter technology?
              Some of you may not know that it goes few years back, before even we downed the drone last year.
              Do you remember the "caspian air'' plane that was blown in air? Majority passengers were Armenians.
              So in one Israeli forum I witnessed two of the guys like us, military buffs, discussing it, and how Armenians deserved a good lesson like that so they would think twice before transferng important technology secrets to Iran...
              Not long after that we downed Azery (israeli) drone. Later Iran downed american drone. We had allready showcased our drones in parade. If I am correct, Iranians downed american drone before they even flew their first one. And please look and see if theirs is not allmost exact copy ouf ours that we showed few months earlier. Do you see what I mean?
              I think that Israel was on it's way to sell(or so told) to baku many more planes and more sophisticated ones. Probably even something like Machatz-1.
              Money was a secondary issue. As israel has been planning strikes against Iran, all those drones sold (appearently sold) to baku could be used on Iran by Israel any time.
              We spoiled all those plans in that any new and sophisticated technology given to baku could be brought down by us and later you know what...

So the metamorphosis of dedovschina into national army leadership would be very sad page in our history.
                I am one of those thinking that in order to get rid of oligarchs, the whole Armenian citizenry has to change. Liberate itself from russian/soviet serf-communist subject mentality and evolve into a strong and active national entity that will make it impossible for oligarchs to exist within.
                The same way we have to develop (or dig up from our national memory) the entity of Armenian soldier/warrior to guarantee against dedovschina, corruption and ensure continuos strength of our army. It is a matter of national survival and one of the first priorities.
                I agree and if it is as bad as you say then that is a worst than a strong enemy you face on the battlefield......for an nation in danger of extinction this cannot be allowed in Armenian defence forces.

                Our ancient ways of covenant must be guarded and honored.

                  Yes we build our own UAV's also, but often times you take certain influences from existing technologies and improve upon them. Now, again, stop shooting the messenger! What I'm telling you is not something I'm getting from the air, because I myself would not believe this to be true if the specific source hadn't confirmed it. But there are some very legitimate sources about this and strategically it makes sense for Israel, because they just want to make money off of Azerbaijan's purchases. If you don't want to believe me, fine, but I'm just saying how it is.

                  Yeah that's true, but what I'm talking about is receiving some Israeli technology via Russian channels. The weapon's business is a tricky thing and is not that straightforward. As I said in my previous post, major powers often times just want to keep the balance between the states like Armenia and Azerbaijan. No one is saying that all our drones are Israeli and so forth. And actually I know personally a person that has worked on the drones for the Minister of Defence. So again, I'm not talking out of the air here, but if you guys want to shoot down everything I say, go ahead.

                    Just to add. I hate Israel and would not want to get weapons for them. I think we should be self-sufficient and we should have our own defence industry, which is actually coming true with the new Russian-Armenian defence industry venture that will open in Armenia. We need to realise our weaknesses and work on them, we need to make our army more efficient and professional. All this comes with improvements in our country in many spheres.
