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.

    Normally Russians hold the title for heavy lift aircraft especially in fixed wing aircraft.

    Twin rotor design cutting edge technology goes to the Boing Osprey...
    Well I was actually asking about fast attack choppers.
    If I got the story right the one rotor above the other rotor that spins in opposite directions is always going to have greater lift for rotor size but also is faster & better maneuverability.
    Thought Russia at one time made attack "contra rotating rotor" & they were the best?

        No, that is not true.....the advantage is lack of a tail rotor. Also their are many aerodynamic problems that come from coaxial rotors (one on top of the other as you say) and its limitations are subject to same gyroscopic/aerodynamic laws that single rotors are subject to.
        I could explain further but this won't be the place.

          Number of foreign tourists to Nagorno-Karabakh grows rapidly

          Aug 14, 2013

          YEREVAN, Armenia - The number of foreign tourists visiting Nagorno-Karabakh is continuing to increase rapidly after substantial growth recorded in recent years, authorities in the Armenian-populated territory said on Monday.

          Official figures released by the unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh Republic’s Tourism Department show a doubling of visitors in the first quarter of this year.

          According to the department, some 16,000 tourists from 86 nations visited Karabakh last year, up by 40 percent from 2011. They spent an estimated $6 million on accommodation, food and services....

            Armenian Military 'Interested' In Acquiring Russian Rocket Artillery

            YEREVAN -- A senior Russian defense industry executive says Armenia wants to acquire Russian rocket artillery systems that have a firing range of up to 90 kilometers.

            Nikolay Dimidyuk of the state-run Rosoboronexport company was quoted this week by the Moscow-based magazine "Voenno-Promyshlenny Kurier" as saying that Armenian officials showed an interest in the BM-30 Smerch multiple-launch rocket systems during a recent international arms exhibition in Minsk.

            Dimidyuk said that Armenian authorities as well as military officials from Kazakhstan held "interesting negotiations" with Rosoboronexport representatives in the Belarusian capital. "These were not mere courtesy visits, we discussed concrete issues," he said.

            "We have not cooperated so closely with members states of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) before," Dimidyuk said.

            The Armenian Defense Ministry declined to confirm or deny this information.

            "Armenia's armed forces are constantly supplied with new and modern weaponry," ministry spokesman Davit Karapetian told RFE/RL's Armenian Service. "It is not expedient to divulge details of our arms purchases."

            A Defense Ministry source, who asked not to be identified, said in that context that the Armenian army already possesses Smerch systems.

            Developed in the early 1980s, Smerch is arguably the most powerful multiple-launch rocket system in the world. It can fire 12 300-milimeter rockets in a single salvo that lasts for less than a minute.

            The truck-mounted systems are estimated to cost $12 million each. It is not clear whether Armenia can acquire them at a lower price or even for free thanks to its membership in the CSTO or according to a Russian-Armenian defense agreement signed last August. The agreement commits Moscow to supplying the Armenian military with "special military hardware."

            A possible purchase of Smerch rockets would highlight Armenia's intensifying arms race with Azerbaijan, whose armed forces reportedly have at least 12 such systems.

            Defense Minister Seyran Ohanian said in February that the Armenian military received "unprecedented" quantities of modern weapons last year and will continue its military build-up in 2011. Ohanian gave no details of those deliveries.

            Yerevan officially confirmed in late December that it possesses Russian S-300 surface-to-air missiles, which are widely regarded as one of the most potent antiaircraft weapons.

            Earlier in December, Armenian President Serzh Sarkisian and his National Security Council approved a five-year plan to modernize the armed forces. It envisages, among other things, the acquisition of long-range, precision-guided weapons.

              Trench life is not pretty, do troops have to do a certain amount of time in service to be eligible to be on the frontline?

                The way it works is that there's a bunch of troops that are assigned to the front, but they don't do it continuously. They do it in two weeks terms,and alternate. So I assume, they spend some time getting some training and preparation before being moved there.

                Also, another thing I heard from a soldier himself at the front lines was that a lot of the guys who are at the fronts are there because they chose to be. That they volunteered and asked for to be placed at that location. This isn't a rumor that I heard, or something that someone told me, but what I heard from soldiers at the 1st line in Marduni in June 2012.

                  thanks for the post
                  that Zvartnots data often gets mentioned to prove the immigration in Armenia in stark contrast of what the government claims
                  good to see that number itself provide some solid news

                      They don't choos to be , but they can choos to go on the frontline . They can't choos not to go if they are assigned there ( without corruption ... )
                      And before going there they have first several months of training ( normally 6 in other army places in armenia or stepanakert) then they go some weeks frontline then come back ...

                      It's a little different from place to place
