They forgot to mention about KUB. We got them from Russian base few months ago

Agreed...we do have them!! I think in addition to updating these systems and maintaining them we should Focus on more mobile systems as Tors or Buks! Mobility is of great importance, as immobille units and radars could be easy targets for their missile atracks! Strelas, iglas and Sa-6s are good...i was glad to see the gophers as well...that gives us 6 types of mobile aa systems (if u add shilkas and osa-akasas well)...
Briefly said: our immobile aa defense systems are pretty good...portable systems are pretty good as well...but we can focus more on the mobile systems..substituting sa-6s and gophers, even the old krugs and sa-3s with buks or tors can be a great step forward...

In any case considering the structure of the azeri airforce...i think our systems for now should be able to handle them efficiently...

I was just looking at some pics of the unity 2014 military exercise and I have to say, the new uniforms and helmets look awesome. Are they manufactured by the polish-armenian company?

I'm not going to dispute on who's land the helicopter fell on, that has been acknowledged by both sides. I'm just going to quote this article..
http://news.am/eng/news/239254.html

20 METERS! Although the helicopter fell on our side it was flying either right on the front line or was on no mans land. I'm not trying to justify what the azeris did. It is a much graver provocation to shoot down a helicopter, that to fly that close to the adversary, but why would the orders have been, to send a Strategic asset of our people right onto, or past a "HOT" front line. We all saw the video and saw how close the point of missile impact was to the point of contact with earth, so my point is why were they ordered to do such a thing. In order to fly a strategic asset on a mission like this, a order has to come from VERY high up. No Armenian pilot is going on any joy ride. I'm just curious what minister or political figurehead lives in La La land, and whether they will be calling the shots during the next war. I feel it's reasonable to ask that question. All this BS about it being a training mission is irritating. There's plenty of land to conduct "training missions" elsewhere. It was meant as a sign of "strength" and "courage", but someone's miscalculations resulted in the loss of three lives and a strategic asset of ALL ARMENIANS. Screw azeris for what they did but I can't blame them either. If an Azeri heli flew that close to a section of trench I was in charge of, I would order a shoot down as well.
I just hope our leadership isn't as reckless when the time comes...

You're right when you say it was a sign of taunting the enemy but was it a mistake? Debatable. Like I mentioned earlier, this is not the first time we do such flyovers. Azerbaijan does them too during military exercises. The difference this time is that Azeris struck us when we weren't expecting them to because no side has shot down anything (besides that drone in 2011) in 20 years. We were all surprised ourselves. Perhaps we should have expected they would eventually shoot one down since they are, after all, much more likely to start a new war and do reckless things. But alas, it's done now. From now on, you can bet both sides will be more cautious with taunting exercises.

I expect our side to shoot down a few helicopters or shoot down a jet in retaliation. All this emphasis on our anti-air systems is pointing towards it. It's imperative that we retaliate just enough to not let this go unpunished & to deter future attacks but not as severe a retaliation to spark an accidental war.

Those helmets are fairly new, I noticed them appearing in service around December of last year, and looks like they are more widespread now. The Army is making a transition.

I had no idea you had contacts at Lubawa Armenia, and that you were keeping tabs on their manufacturing deadlines




Ill just leave this here, let you guys decide:
