YEREVAN–At the beginning of June, the Armenian Armed Forces made advances and claimed strategic positions and hills at the Armenia-Nakhichevan border.
These positions, measuring some 100 square kilometers, which were uncontrolled due to difficulet geographic and climate conditions, were put under the control of the Armenian Army.
This portion of territory is in Armenia proper, but until recently there were no border or army positions.
Azerbaijan’s defense minister General Zakir Hassanov, on June 25, confirmed the new positions of the Armenian Armed Forces during an interview with ANS news agency in Baku.
With this advancement, the city of Nakhichevan is not 18.6 miles (30 kilometers) away from the Armenian border.
Photographs obtained by razm.info clearly show that the newly-manned Armenian positions are fortified and have a direct view of Azerbaijani border positions in Nakhichevan.
This recent attempt by the Armenian Army to fortify its positions came after two separate attacks by Azerbaijani forces from the Nakhichevan border, which resulted in the deaths of three Armenian soldiers.

Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan

If you read my post you would see I said ... Our military --- TRIES --- to keep track of enemy assets.
Do you disagree?
Above is said ... Do not underestimate the enemy.
How about not underestimating us.
Satellites and/or Russian help (no other way???)
Wrong, but I wouldn't say how on a PUBLIC forum.
As I said before ... You can bet we are trying to keep track of these mlr's.
That is indisputable.

Wasn't trying to dispute your point. I'm arguing that even if our military was trying to keep tabs on their Smerches, in an attempt to hit them before they fire, as far as I know we lacks the resources to conduct surveillance on moving targets, in well defended airspace, 30-50km behind enemy lines. You need surveillance of some sort to achieve an accurate strike. You seem to know something I don't so I was curious as how you were so sure. Ill take your word for it.

I did suggest another way-check my post-informants on the ground.
I don't underestimate our military I believe the complexity of long range counter battery fire is something not to underestimate. In theory it seems straight forward, but in practice its complex to get all the pieces in the right place at the right time.

Հայաստանի (Արցախի) Քարվաճառի ուղղությամբ հակառակորդը ձեռնարկել է հերթական հետախուզադիվերսիոն ներթափանցման փորձը:

As far as help from the Russians the more time passes I am getting more disillusioned with their actions and our treatment.

Russian's grand strategy is to dominate the energy supply field.
It is their only lever of influence that they have.
The countries that can undermine its ambitions in this area are Iran and Azerbaijan.

Currently Russia is trying to bribe Azerbaijan, intention being to dovetail Azerbaijan's resources to its grand strategy.
In the process it is blackmailing Armenia to use Karabagh as its bargaining chip. Its very ominous.

Just because Russia is trying to bribe Azerbaijan to achieve it's geopolitical goals doesn't mean Russia is ready to loose it's only real ally in the area and subsequently its strong grip on the Caucasus. Russia has to pursue its interests, but Artsakh's existence is important for Russia so Azerbaijan stays ineligible for NATO. The situations in South Ossetia and Abkhazia keeps Georgia ineligible.

Russia has a lot to loose if Artsakh falls and I'm sure they understand that very well. I think Russia might make it look like Artsakh is a bargaining chip but I think when you break it down it is all just show. How they are guaranteeing the status quo doesn't change I don't know, but they're not stupid. They just want the whole pie, military dominance in the Caucasus, control over its gas, oil, other recourses and large military contracts. At the end of the day Russia knows which country out of the three in the Caucasus will stick with it, hence the bases and military equipment stationed in Gyumri and Yerevan, weapon donations and discounts.
