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.

    We can setup cheap drones carrying high explosives and fly it into the target kamikaze style.....if need be.

      Nagorno Karabakh

      History of Minelaying and Cluster Munition Bombing Minelaying in Nagorno Karabakh, by both Azeri and pro-Karabakhi forces, took place during the 1992-1994 war.

      A combination of anti-personnel (AP), anti-tank (AT) and anti-group (AG) mines was used to protect positions and deny freedom of movement. The mines laid were of Soviet design and manufacture and due to the nature of the conflict certain areas were mined several times by both sides. Tens of thousands of cluster munitions were also dropped from the air by Azerbaijani forces.

      The Problem

      Nagorno Karabakh has one of the world’s highest per capita rates of accidents caused by mines, cluster munitions and other explosive remnants of war (ERW). Despite the clear humanitarian need for the clearance of ERW, the international isolation that impoverishes the people of Karabakh also makes it difficult for HALO to raise funds to work in the region, and the funds that are raised often have territorial restrictions placed upon them. Funding is desperately needed to prevent Karabakh’s communities being blighted by mines and cluster munitions for decades to come.

      Mines were used in all regions of Nagorno Karabakh during the war with minefields covering a total area of more than 50km² of land. A particular feature of the war was the extensive use of anti-tank (AT) mines to prevent the movements of vehicles and armour. The AT mines were used on roads, tracks and on verges and they have caused many accidents and deaths since the war. Even more devastating was the use of AT minefields in the open, fertile valleys of Karabakh. Though generally sparsely laid, these mines have denied access to thousands of hectares of land that was traditionally used for cultivating wheat, maize and vines. When farmers attempted to cultivate the mined land they inevitably struck mines with the loss of valuable tractors for the lucky ones and their lives for the less fortunate.

      Anti-personnel (AP) mines were also widely used during the fighting to protect military positions. These minefields were laid on the hills that Karabakh’s pastoralist communities use to graze their sheep and cattle, and in the woods where unsuspecting hunters and foragers can tread on them.

      More than 180km² of land was also contaminated with unexploded ordnance (UXO), principally cluster munitions.Nagorno Karabakh’s ERW problem has had profound impacts on the day-to-day lives of rural communities, limiting the incomes of thousands of poor families and killing or injuring hundreds.

      The Solution

      Since 2000 HALO has been the sole provider of mines and cluster munitions clearance and the disposal of unexploded ordnance (UXO). We have set up a Mine Action Centre (MAC) to collate all information about mines, explosive remnants of war (ERW) and safe routes, and to share that information with stakeholders and other actors as requested.

      HALO has to date cleared hundreds of square kilometres of formerly-contaminated land in Nagorno Karabakh, destroying thousands of mines and tens of thousands of cluster munitions and other items of explosive ordnance. As a consequence the annual accident rate has dropped dramatically and thousands of hectares of land have been returned to safe, productive use.

      Both manual and mechanical landmine clearance is carried out. Cluster munition strikes are cleared by our Battle Area Clearance (BAC) teams while other items of UXO are cleared by our Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) teams. This clearance programme is complemented by Survey and Mines Risk Education (MRE) teams, with MRE fully incorporated into the school curriculum. The programme is managed by one expatriate, while all other senior management positions are filled by locally recruited and trained staff. As with all other HALO programmes our policy is to build a substantial local capacity.

      Requirement for Continued Clearance

      We are the only mineclearance organisation operating in Nagorno Karabakh and development, reconstruction, resettlement and other humanitarian aid is dependent on our programme continuing.

      Mineclearance is also essential to reduce the number of accidents caused by mines and unexploded ordnance (UXO) from its current unacceptable per capita rate, which is amongst the highest in the world. With shrinking funding and territorial restrictions placed upon this funding, HALO desperately needs new sources of

        I don't really think it's possible. Drones can't take that much weight.

            Azerbaijani Defense Ministry has got a finger in ... Armenian drone

            January 29 all the Azerbaijani media spread an official statement of the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan, which stated that in the area 14:00 Azerbaijani askers knocked Armenian drone. In confirmation of this news press service Azerbaijani Defense Ministry, headed by V. dynegolovym Dyargyahly, posted video footage "from the scene." Here is a video shown on all TV channels in Azerbaijan.

            Watch Video

            In turn, a spokesman for the Armenian Defense Minister Artsrun Hovhannisyan suggested that the Azerbaijani askernya has lined his own drone, as the Armenian side of aircraft is not lost.

            Portal Voskanapat.info, spending a little online investigation, found the original video that Azerbaijani generals led by the mentally deficient defense minister of education Zakir Hasanov decided to use to lift the spirits of the population of Azerbaijan. Note that since the beginning of the year the Azerbaijani side, take dozens of attempts reconnaissance and sabotage attacks, lost 100 soldiers killed - askers. This circumstance led to the decadent and even the mood of mourning among the population of Azerbaijan and mass attempts to evade military service.

            Hastily invented in the bowels of the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry was a lie as a sad end for the agency that attempts elite askers - Special Forces to conduct sabotage on the territory of the Armenian states.
            Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry has got a finger in ... Armenian drone.




            In other words, they posted a video of them supposedly shooting down the drone. After doing research, Voskanapat found out the video is actually of a Russian drone being shot down by Ukrainians.
            Guys they changed the video now and uploaded a new one.



            They also uploaded some pictures of the "wreckage". Apparently this used to be our drone

                  Politics is not about the pursuit of morality nor what's right or wrong
                  Its about self interest at personal and national level often at odds with the above.
                  Great politicians pursue the National interest and small politicians personal interests

                    number one that says that it's fake: the voice level when shot the explosion in air is too low. Covering talk in diffrent language? like russian or iranian?
                    Number two: I doubt that any part of Krunk would be numbered as 150183, given what picture shows looks like a fuselage part. There just is not that much quantities or parts quantities built.
                    Besides, I doubt that parts for domestic market would be serialed that way.

                      Those photos are probably of a Russian UAV



                      I wont be surprised if these are pictures from a downed Russian UAV by Ukrainians again.

                      Edit: I like how in the video they do not show any of the footage and in the pictures you do not see the faces of the people.
