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

thats their special forces right? only thing special on them is their expansive eye candy weapons they themselves arent capable of anything

Apparently so, but I wouldnt call them Special Forces
They are just dudes who want to look tacticool...You can find guys like that in every military.
This is what special forces should look like AND thats how they should operate : http://edge.liveleak.com/80281E/ll_a...79af4_sf_3.jpg (Thats ISOF Iraqi Special Operations Forces, believe it or not)
Thats what Special Forces should normally look like. They dont look like cyborgs from a different planet, they dont look like ninjas. They look like guys with the ability to operate in exteme conditions with limited resources. They look like a group of men with a set of skills that can prove useful in operations that regular infantry troops wouldnt be able to accomplish.
Those goofballs, do not look like they would be able to clear rooms properly. Their NVG face gear might get stuck in the doorway...

Do not underestimate the fighting spirit and dedication which cannot be seen in a picture but can only be gauged by results.

so far the only operation were they partially succeeded, and i say partially because they couldn't capture one of ours alive, was a while back when they entered tavush and killed 3 guys in a jeep car and made it back unscathed.
That's one out of dozens of operations. I'd say they're pretty lousy at their job, especially, when you take into account the opposing force they often come into is conscripted 18 year olds.

This issue of 2000km is highly questionable in my opinion...2000kms is not a threat to Armenia. They can hit Armenia is shorter range missiles, but 2000km is a threat to both Iran and Russia...i'm not sure azerbaijan would be allowed to have such missiles..the 1st ppl who will be threathened by such weapons are the iranians and the russians...they rnt gonna be too happy about this!

there is a international convention against missile sales that reach over 400km. Nuclear tip is also BS. Iskander would be used to neutralize s300 that azeris have so scuds can get to their destination.
AZ would never dream of threatening Russian or for that matter Iran, each nation would only require few hours to overrun entire country. So its all speculation not to mention its from AZ site which is all BS on its own.

I believe this is the same style of T72 Azerbaijan operates. He says the biggest problem is that the side armor falls off very easily. (Its normal to see them fall off after combat, but not good when you see them falling off while moving.)

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

What ever happened with the PT-72Us?
Are the Russians upgrading the tanks now? Or are we sticking with the poles?
Even if it were the Russians...what version would they upgrade it to?

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

Look from 1:10 how residents and army start fighting over Karen.
Does anyone know the reason why they were fighting ? Did residents not want to give Karen to them maybe ?
