Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan

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

Eddo, Id like to ask you another silly question

I play alot of mil sims...(Arma for example)

And I like to fly CAS alot
One thing I noticed is..the SU25s in many of the mil sims I play can automatically lock on with FABs when I hit the targeting key. This only happens when my nose is pointed towards the target.
The A10s GBUs however cannot do that and require laser designation from either a UAV or a JTAC team.
Why is this? Does it have something to do with the ordnance that is being used or the aircraft itself?

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

I am not familiar with Mil sims but it sounds like fun.....I have been in real simulators but that is a different story.

As far as I can guess (obviously I am not a SU-25 or A-10 pilot) all of SU-25 targeting systems like laser guided, TV guided, and most importantly the electro optic system is in the nose area of the aircraft (a close up look will show the optics and the rest is in the nose radom/cone).....so the aircraft must be facing the target to get a good lock.
when a laser designation missile is used like on the A-10 the internal guidance system of the missile/rocket is controlled by a ground team or a UAV so the aircraft nose can be pointed in any direction when launcing the weapon since the ordinance will home in on the laser spot and its more accurate.

Armenia developing new UAV for Singapore Police Force.
sorry i couldn't find article on english, use translate.

Министр обороны Армении Сейран Оганян заявил 24 июля журналисту радио «Азатутюн» (Свобода), что сегодня на этапе испытаний находятся отечественные устройства пограничной безопасности.

«Несомненно, мы сотрудничаем со всеми теми структурами, которые либо делают нам предложения, либо также выполняют наши заказы, в особенности мы сотрудничаем с предприятиями сферы информационных технологий. Мы множество раз проводили испытания, и в результате испытаний, наверное, мы придём к соответствующему выводу и потихоньку внедрим», - заявил Сейран Оганян.

Исполнительный директор Союза предприятий информационных технологий Армении Карен Варданян не считает достаточным сотрудничество оборонного ведомства с компаниями технологической сферы.

«Есть очень хорошие отношения с министерством обороны, они приходят, смотрят наши технологические выставки и др., но нет стратегического подхода. Сегодня в Армении разрабатываются технологии, которые могли бы служить безопасности границ. Более того, эти технологии Армения экспортирует. Скажу больше, ряд компаний работают на военно-промышленные комплексы иных стран. Сейчас одна из компаний, например, по заказу полиции Сингапура разрабатывает беспилотные летательные аппараты, которые будут наблюдать за водным пространством Сингапура. То есть, по существу, это военный заказ», - заявил исполнительный директор Союза предприятий информационных технологий Армении.

Карен Варданян перечисляет те разрабатываемые в Армении технологии, которые могут способствовать безопасности границ:

«У нас есть технологии, которые могут нам позволить, например, обнаружить снайперов, после обнаружения передать данные автоматическим огневым точкам, постройку которых мы также имеем возможность осуществить, чтобы они уничтожили этих снайперов. У нас есть возможность обнаружить этих снайперов в радиодиапазоне, оптическом, то есть видимом диапазоне, инфракрасном диапазоне и в других диапазонах».

Перечень возможностей не ограничивается стольким. Карен Варданян с болью констатирует, что сегодня Министерство обороны использует только 0,1% от их возможностей.

Does this give any clues?
Originally from a burjuin post.

.

Ours has wheels on it which is good since it can be towed across the airfield while operating. I have heard of these machines before but they use some type of chemical that causes a change in temp. For fog to form temperature and dew point must be the same and low winds. There are many types of fog and how they can form.
The Armenian design uses sound waves to achieve this if I am not wrong. amazing science here.

brotherhood my **s. No need to be a genius to know none of these countries would come to our aid if xxxx hits the fan, maybe russia, which i have my doubts about also. But I guess for Russia it's nice to have these exercises once a year,
to show NATO, "look i also have my own backyard, with countries which like me etc etc."

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

Do we agree to help these countries? For example, against China or Afghanistan?
Are we ready to shed our blood for them?

Its always good to work with a other military from a different country. You can learn stuff you didnt know, techniques that could help you in combat, and best of all you can learn about different weapons, how they work. Other than learning and sharing experience its pretty much a show put on by Russia.

Also, quick question: Does Seyran Ohanyan have a prosthetic leg? In the wiki it says he had to have his leg amputated?
