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.

    If u talk about our T55 than we have only 12 of them in service, and they are not for war but only trainings, when azeris got 100 of them, but again, not in service.
    We dont have T80s
    It is from the same source as the 300 tank thing. I wonder where they got those numbers...Also, is this not a T80? Doesnt look like its a T72A....Click image for larger version

      The number 12 is what is declared by the government. We all know what the government declares is probably the exact opposite of the truth in regards to quantity of military equipment, but I am speculating. Again what I'm saying about the t-55's is a speculation but I really doubt we throw anything useful away and I've seen many videos during the war of T-55's. A lot of them.

      About the T-80. This post is three years old.

      The T-80 in the picture is a BV variant. Also the list of arms shipped from Moldova to us a year ago showed the 9M112 Kobra on it. Unless were operating T-64's as well why would we buy it.
      The International Institute for Strategic Studies report for 2010 mentions Armenia possessing 20 T-80's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armenian_Army
      Scroll down to the vehicle list.

        The Bug Pit Armenia Azerbaijan Nagorno Karabakh
        The Armenia-Azerbaijan military balance is getting a lot of scrutiny these days, and Jane's Intelligence Review has just published a good reported analysis (subscription required) by Emil Sanamyan that has a lot of interesting points. Among them:

        -- "Upon closer inspection, Azerbaijan's purported 'military budget' incorporates not just the paramilitary forces outside the Ministry of Defence but also state prosecutors and even courts, with an apparent intention to inflate the overall figure for propaganda effect."

        -- "The combined Armenian and Nagorno-Karabakh defence army total is estimated by Jane's to be around 300 T-72s, considerably larger than the 110 officially declared by Yerevan. Azerbaijan is thought to maintain around 350 to 400 T-72s... Baku has declared only 217 tanks, although it it likely that this figure was designed to appear under the Conventional Forces in Europe (CFE) treaty ceiling of 220."

        I cant tell if it's a T-80 or not but my guess will be a T-72B without the ERA.

          Well, its nice to know we have T80BVs...I guess we can also add 1 T90 to that list lol


          I think now I know why we dont invest so heavily in tanks. I guess, for now, we have plenty. We also have the possible PT-72U (Or, was that just a silly rumor???) upgrades. I guess its time to start heavily investing more into our infantry. Helmets, drop pouches, kneepads...(Trust me, you need kneepads..It may sound silly and unnecessary, but in combat, especially with 400+ meter engagements, you do alot of crouching, and laying down. In Artsakh, that will be killer on our boy's knees and elbows.) maybe even better body armor. What do you guys think our boy's use? Steel? I doubt we use anything fancy.

            Haha I guess one is better than none.

            The PT-72 seemed like it was about to happen, but once Armenia announced it would not be joining the European trade block Poland quickly announced the deal was just a romor. It seems it was a bargaining chip or bait for Armenia not to join the Russain led Eurasian Economic Union.

            I couldn't agree more with the importance to kneepads and I'm still amazed at why they haven't been introduced. Imagine how cheap you could get them from China in bulk. Another extremely cheap but important gear that hasn't been introduced is goggles. With the amount of artillery that going to be used, there's going to be a lot of dust and gravel flying around. I almost want to get a pot going with all the wealthy Armenians that live in my area, I'm sure we could get enough money together for thousands of goggles, kneepads and elbow pads. I don't know were to start, or if anyone would take me seriously. So cheap...

            I'm not sure on plates. I think there was a post with someone mentioning a plant was going to be organized to produce ceramic plates but I can remember. I have no info on what is being used now. Burjuin might know, seems like he is in the military. Maybe he's not at liberty to say.

              Agreed, goggles are important, but Id see that as a secondary priority. As not all AOs are going to be filled with dust and debris...What I think we will be seeing ,especially in a renewed war..is volunteer battalions. Similar to the Ukrainian ones...just not filled with nutty fascists...Perhaps we could be seeing a Dashnak battalion, or something along those lines.
              Knee pads are pretty cheap, even American ones. 20-25 dollars a pair. Even cheaper if bought from Russia or China. Around 100 thousand pairs of the aforementioned price would only cost about 2.5 million dollars. That could be included in the maintenance sub-budget for the military. Helmets are extremely important as well..We are already seeing more and more Russian helmets with regular units. I dont think Ive seen a soviet era tin pot on an Armenian soldier for a while now...Looks like Russo-Georgian war era helmets we seem to be getting, but I cant properly ID em. Our own helmets? Who knows. I also heard about a proposal made to the government, that suggests the investment in and the creation of a military manufacturing sector. IT would create tons of jobs, new service rifles, equipment, uniforms. We would become less dependent on free Russian-Soviet stuff. Can't seem to remember where I saw it..
