More new Azeri stuff via HyeFighter2's link. The last one seems to be their new 7,62х51 mm sniper rifle called Yalquzaq.
The Turkish Edjer is wasted money, the Georgians have it and it does not look like anything special, just looks like a standard troop carrier...Azerbaboon: 9.000 Google hits and counting!Comment

Armenian Police has new uniform – VIDEO and PHOTO
December 20, 2012 | 19:21
The police officers of Armenia have a new uniform, and the entire system is going to switch into the new uniform shortly.
The press service of Armenian Police has published the photos of the new uniform.
As the chief of the police department Ashot Aharonyan had informed earlier Armenian News-NEWS.am, the police officers will be introduced to the public in new uniforms.
He, however, did not mention how much was spent on the purchase of the uniforms, only mentioning they were less expensive compared to an old one. Though, Armenia’s Police Service Chief Vladimir Gasparyan has had his investment in the design of the uniforms.
Note, Gasparyan has the experience, as he was also the author of the Military Police uniform of Armenia.

Chinese rocket lofts Turkish Earth observation satellite
The Turkish government's ambitions to become a force in satellite Earth observation took a step forward on Wednesday with the successful launch, aboard a Chinese rocket, of the Turkish Gokturk-2 medium-resolution optical surveillance satellite.
Turkish officials said the 400-kilogram Gokturk-2, made mainly in Turkey but with an optical imager provided by South Korea, was safely in orbit at nearly 700 kilometers in altitude and had sent signals to a ground station in northern Norway.
The satellite was launched aboard a Chinese Long March 2D vehicle operated from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Gansu Province. It was the 19th launch of a Chinese Long March rocket, all variants included, for 2012 — a year Chinese launch service officials had forecast would be particularly active for the rocket line.
Gokturk-2 is Turkey's second Earth observation satellite, following the small Rasat satellite launched in 2011 aboard a Russian-Ukrainian Dnepr rocket. [ Best Rocket Launch Photos of 2012 ]
Rasat has a ground resolution of about 7.5 meters, meaning it can detect objects of that diameter and larger. Gokturk-2 has a 2.5-meter resolution and includes 15 gigabytes of image storage capacity.
Turkish Science, Industry and Technology Minister Nihat Ergun said before the launch that Gokturk-2 should be seen as an investment in high technology, and a signal of Turkey's determination to have its own, restrictions-free use of Earth observation imagery.
Turkey's defense forces have purchased another Gokturk satellite from Telespazio of Rome and Thales Alenia Space of France and Italy. This 1,000-kilogram spacecraft will be similar to the two French Pleiades satellites now in orbit, with a 70-centimeter ground resolution in black and white and 2.8 meters in color.
The satellite's development has taken longer than expected, and it is not expected to be launched before late 2014. Telespazio's contract, valued at 250 million euros ($325 million) when signed in 2009, includes establishing a satellite integration and test facility in Turkey as well as a Gokturk ground station.
Thales Alenia Space and Telespazio are thus doing for Turkey what rival Astrium Satellites of Europe is doing for Kazakhstan in providing a satellite, a training regime and an initial satellite test facility to a nation that has made clear it ultimately wants to be able to build satellites of its own.
The Turkish Scientific and Technological Research Council and Turkish Aerospace Industries built Gokturk-2. Ergun said the entire Gokturk-2 project is valued at 140 million Turkish Lira ($79 million).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 interestsComment

Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan
They don't have T-90s. And the Mi-35 and the Mi-24 superhinds are just modification of the Hind, its not a day and night difference. Also, their upgraded T-7s were T-72m's, which are crappy export models.Originally posted by HyeFighter2 View PostComment

Missiles are one option and there expensive pluse they can be used once then , more expense, time ,etc.Originally posted by Haykakan View Post
I'm more prone to "energy propagation" in whatever form gets the job done.
I think we have the brains and instead of shelling out our limited wealth for throw away missiles we could be increasing our understanding while keeping the money in the "family".
Packets of "energy" modulated and manipulated that are slamed into a satellite can waste them suckers.
Also, I think it's easier than one might think to disrupt "photo" capability and or fry "photo " capability.
Personal opinion is we can --- we can hammer those satellites for far less money than it costs to put them up and maintain them.

Armenia modernizes S-300 air defense system
December 21, 2012 | 00:22
The annual report of the Ministry of Defense of Armenia contains information on Armenia’s plans to modernize its air defense systems.
First of all, this concerns S-300 air defense systems. As a result of joint research of Russian and Belarusian experts, it was decided to upgrade these systems while using JSC “Patnesh” (Hrazdan), which is by one hundred percent financed by the government.
Note that the plant, built in the 1980s, as a regional center for the repair of military electronic equipment, has the appropriate industrial sites, buildings and structures for repairs of air defense systems S-300. Modernization of S-300 air defense systems was planned to be implemented in Yerevan plant “Avtomatika,” but there were no corresponding conditions there.Comment
