Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan

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

A T72B already does, the T72B3 is just a T72 on steroids. The chances of T90 usage in a new war is very unlikely, thats if the Azeris are smart enough NOT to use them.

Armenia already has T72B3/As in its inventory, an unknown number of them at least.

Hmm that's interesting. Why is it a bad idea for the Azers to use them? T90s have a secific disadvantage?

Or is it because they're expensive and will be pounded by artillery and ATGMs?

Using tanks in a mountainous environment, specifically in a offensive setting, is beyond a dumb idea. Just ask the Afghans.

Russia is going to withdrawal all t-80 tanks from service this year. I think this is an oppertunity armenia can take advantage of.

T-80s are uselss POS. Gas Turbine engine is terrible logistically, will cost too much to maintain. T72s are better, Armenia needs to purchase a small amount of T14s in 2017 to replace its aging T80s. Armenia could probably get a good deal on T90s that will be put into reserve by 2020.

I am not as familiar with tanks as you guys but I see tanks as offensive weapon.....imagine Armenian tanks with thermal imaging targeting system advancing in the open plains towards Baku taking out the Azeri tanks.

Yea, heres a couple pics:

those are not T72B3 but T72BA, it is same T72B but it got better armor Contact V, we have couple of them just brought from Russia with another T72Bs , we don't have T80 in service, it was just talks as about Su27 in Armenia, our MOD said we will not purchase T90 tanks ever, in my opinion we will modernize all tanks (or at least 50%of them ) by 2020 and after we will buy something new

Armenia has T80s, we already went over this Hyefighter. There is photographic evidence of this. They are probably not shown in exercises due to the fact that maintenance for it is ridiculous.

Armenia would be able to purchase a small number of T90s or T14s after Russia modernizes, to spear head its modernized T72 force. This is not out of the question, and to frank...modernizing just the T72s to have Kontakt-5 ERA is not going to increase their performance by much...

They both have Kontakt-5 ERA, whatt are you talking about? They both have the same optics, and are most likely the same variant.

Hyefighter, there is a reason why I said T72b3/A...They are largely very similar variants, whereas T72BM/3 has newer optics and ERA. The T72B3 is a downgraded version of T72BM which was based on T72BA. The T72BA only lacks new optics, it has the T90 tracks and its ERA.


Su27? The hell are you talking about?

@Moderators of this forum kindly stop this political discussion...I believe this is a military thread

@Those who think Armenia will die away...I suggest you do some historic review and see what the situation of Armenia was in 1918...how is was in the 1940s...how it was in the 1990s and how it has been for the past 1000 years and how we have always survived.

Other than that I suggest you get your facts right about the situation in post communist countries, specially the economic, political and migration rates in Azerbaijan, Georgia, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Belarus to comprehend that Armenia is just another post-soviet country with traditional problems.

Armenians have a disease of dramatizing everything. Please name a single country that ended up being emptied of its people and they closed it down...this is a myth that coincidentially only 2 powers use against Armenia...the turks and the armenian opposition. I am not saying that the Armenian authorities are the best option we have...the time will come these people will rot in prison and more capable people will take the helms of the country...but the nation is greater than authorities and will eventually survive...

Cheers! Going to Armenia in 8 days...

Lmao, I can't believe I just typed all that crap. It was like 4 in the morning where I live, my brain was turned off at the moment. Ignore it. Ill delete it
