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.

Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan

Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan
Well, independence day is just around the corner......Maybe they will suprise us with an early parade? Its been almost 2-3 years since the last one
And Armenia's population increased by almost 8-10 thousand in 2013. After years of very slow decline, its a positive, although minuscule, change. And I hear the amount of people leaving the country decreased by almost 13,000 people. (Official numbers).Unlike our neighbor Georgia, which experienced a very small decrease compared to other years... So, positive stuff...I guess. We also gotta remember the Armenians in Artsakh, Javakh, and the rest of Georgia.

Looks like MoD has finally purchased new helmets for the infantry. We saw it slightly going into effect in July-Early August. Now it seems as if it is slowly becoming the norm. I predict by 2015, these new helmets are gonna be full supplied to combat units and reserved!

Originally posted by Chubs View PostSpeaking of fighters. Eddo, do you know of any modernization programs for the MiG-25?
Armenia has one that has been sitting outside for many years. Alot of steel was used in the construction of the airframe (instead of aluminum, carbon fiber, titanium, etc) and I bet ours is beyond restoration let alone modernization.
Our Mig25 = scrap metal
We need upgraded SU-25s, more combat helicopters, and some Mig-29s for our fledgling Airforce to give it some teeth.B0zkurt Hunter

Its also too bad Mikoyan died before he could even see the MiG-25 in its glory.
gokorik, do you have any idea how much modern Russian helmets cost (6b26, and other variants) when purchased in bulk? I can't seem to find a source, all I see is a bunch of Russian ex-military selling their stuff on ebay
If you could find out the cost per helmet that would be great. I am interested in how much Armenia is spending on this.Last edited by Chubs; 09-18-2014, 08:28 PM.Armenian colony of Glendale will conquer all of California!
