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.

    The airspace is closed....in fact Azeris even deny flights over its territory by other nations who want to land in Armenia. Armenia allows flights including NATO flights over its territory. Yerevan-Van flights to Turkey is open.

    Azerbaijan also claims the airspace over Artsakh and says that it will shoot down any flights from Armenia to Artsakh's new airport.

        Armenia to directly purchase weapons, ammunition and military equipments from Russian enterprises at low prices
        [ 25 September 2013 14:51 ]
        The two countries have signed a unique contract in this regard

        Baku. Rashad Suleymanov – APA. Armenia will directly purchase weapons, ammunition and military equipments from Russian enterprises.

        APA reports that Armenia’s “Qraparak” newspaper made this report quoting its sources in the Parliament.

        The Armenian Parliament will confirm the contract on direct purchases from the Russian military factories signed between Armenia and Russia in the near future. Thus, Armenia will be the only country having such a contract with Russia.

        Currently, Russia is carrying out the sales of weapons and military equipments to Armenia and its close ally Belarus via Rosoboronexport State Corporation that is responsible for foreign sales. The Russian Armed Forces and security agencies sign procurement contracts with manufacturing enterprises directly without a mediator.

        The contract let the Ministry of Defense of Armenia purchase weapons from Russia at low prices as one of the country's own military structures.

        I thought we already can buy weapons at concessionary prices.
        Which bit of the fat is being avoided with this new arrangement.

          Fuel air bombs differ from its analogues produced in the post-Soviet space in its destructive power and secure transportation.
          Experts of the Ministry said that fuel air bombs produced in Azerbaijan differ from its analogues produced in the post-Soviet space in its destructive power and secure transportation. Moreover, different types of helicopters (Mi-17, Mi-35 M), training and combat aircrafts will be supplied with these bombs....

          These appear to be air dropped ( plane) munitions.

          Have they overcome the little problem of penetrating Armenian air space?

              In the picture Т72А, which is the early modification. ERA was later on T-72АV

                If they do hit and run attacks on the front line trenches, flying very low, big air defense systems like s-300 sa-8, sa-6, etc wont detect them.(radar's line of sight) If they fly in low and at night MANPAD operators and AAA crews wont be able to see them.(unless they use thermals or nightvision, still difficult)
                These bombs are terrifying. Unless fortifications are pressurized and hardened the pressure wave will travel threw any and every crack or opening smashing anyone inside. Im guessing these bombs can kill in 80-100m radius against infantry in the open and concuss infantry hundreds of yards away(ONE BOMB). The pressure wave can/will trigger all types of pressure mines in a large area and also destroy magnetic antitank mines in a smaller radius, clearing a path. Talk about killing two birds with one stone.

                Heres a video of a 1000KG American Fuel Air Explosive.

                That house has to be around 20m wide.

                The bombs the azeris are making are 250kg but i believe a su-25 can carry a dozen or more 250 kg bombs.
                Heres a video of azeri su-25's dropping what looks like to me a full load of 250KG bombs

                  I think we were allowed to buy used Russian Army equipment at really good prices.
