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.

          First photo....that is not a xxxxpit of a jet powered aircraft.
          The airspeed indicator also redlines at 250 knots which is too slow.

                  Stepanakert Airport is ready to function.

                  Due to the threats to civilian flights security issues are being considered.

                  If the Azeri are stupid enough to carry out their threat a decisive response would have to be given including possibility of a war be it limited or not.

                  It would make sense to be outside the election period with a new ( or re-elected ) President during this risky period.
                  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

                    Eddo I think everyone is looking at this the wrong way. I believe this to be the new version of Iran's sea plane. Forget jet fighter, stop thinking of it's top speed, at 250 knots it is more then fast enough as a low flying craft. Also consider what it might be replacing in the video below. Look at the short fat wings on that, and now look at the new design, they learned a thing or two. Having it land based means that they can improve it's shape without having to worry about landing it and making it float on the water. However this thing is going to replace the sea plane in the role.



                    Like a new small ekranoplan but it does not take off from the water. At least that is what I believe this to be, it's the only thing that makes sense. If taken in this respect this is one hell of a performer, no wonder it does not have radar! It will be flying low, it is going to be stealthy as is at that level, in addition if they got the coatings from the downed American drone, well! Also take a look at the front of the older model, it is almost the same type of xxxxpit as before.

                    As far as the shaking and bouncing you see in the video my thinking is that the platform it's on is not stable, on to of the fact that it is a light plane. It will faster, better, quitter then what it is replacing. There is a portion of the video when they stop the thing from spinning and you can see the thing rock back and forth. This also in my view is the reason why the air intakes are small, and they are on the topside, reduce the splash from sea waves. Let me know,I know you know more then me with aerodynamics.

                      I think the bigger issue is Turkey that has threatened to close its airspace to all flight to/from Armenia if Stepanakert airport goes into operation.
                      azeris are nothing compared to Turks.

                      Vahram as far as I can see that photo of the instrument panel is not of a jet aircraft but a propeller driven aircraft, it is not just the speed but the markings on the airspeed indicator.....The Iranian new domestically supersonic fighter bomber's panel and instruments will look different so it must be a mistake if someones claims that it is. Also the Qaher-313 (conqueror) aerodynamics is not of a sea plane but a fast nimble air superiority fighter (Iranian style).
