Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan
Yes I know, Western soldiers are not only fighting against ex soviet republics, or militia/militarys that use Ak-47s. The Armenian/Azerbaijani service rifle is an AK-74/Ak-74M. It uses a smaller round. 5.45x39. While it does have penetrating power it does not really penetrate body armor as well as an AKM (AKM uses 7.62x39). The M16s round tumbles on impact, increasing damage when it hits the target. It has much better stopping power than a Ak-74. Having a proper helmet and body can greatly reduce causalities when fighting against an army that uses NATO/Ak-74 weapons. AK weapons are also slightly inaccurate, there is a different way you actually have to aim an AK to get it to hit on target, while with NATO weapons you aim the normal way anyone would aim a gun. Armenia is seriously losing this arms race unfortunately, AzerBaboon is using its precious oil money to fuel its military. The very least Armenia can do is provide their soldiers with decent protection,
