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.

      Using aircrafts in modern warfare is a suicide in these days. Aircrafts are definitely losing their importance. The war in Ukraine is a very good exemple of that.

      The only thing our army needs are long rage ballistic missiles.

        I would say ballistic missiles is weapon of last resort, both militarily as well as politically.

        I also think depriving air superiority is just as important as air superiority.
        Shooting down one or two aircraft when the time warrants should establish that.

        It can also be achieved by targeting runways, specially the closest ones.

        .

        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

          Owning the sky is like owning the center square on a chess board . If you can't own the sky as we can't , then we absolutely have to stop them from utilizing the sky against us .
          As I said in previous post , against baboonistan we can "get by" without a major airforce upgrade . I mean we can defend ourselves successfully from the turcs to our east . Our air defense , especially with modest addition can hold the line .
          We can keep them out of the sky closest to our strategic values . However , by not controlling the sky beyond that allows them to operate in those areas . If we don't allow them to operate in the sky because we control it , they are greatly weakened and will not be able to retreat to ANY safe place .
          We simply cannot afford a proper airforce . We can hold the line without one .
          But a proper , well balanced airforce is really where it's at.
          I dought you could find a military expert anywhere that doesn't agree to the extreme importance of a capable airforce .

              You are wrong, even if you had a fleet of A-10s, its not going to be a turkey shoot...

              Armored columns, specifically designated as combined armor, always have anti-aircraft systems driving along with them

              That could be Pantsir, Osa, Tunguska, or Shilka..

              It can even be advanced MANPADs

              In Ukraine, SU-25s were shot down with Iglas quite a bit..


              Also, any counter offensive would most likely occur after their airforce is decimated by Artsakh anti-air systems...

              A crippled force is nothing to be afraid of.
              Armenian colony of Glendale will conquer all of California!

                  Armenia owes over $700B to Azerbaijan
                  Fri 01 May 2015 04:04 GMT | -3:04 Local Time

                  The damage caused by Armenia during the years of occupation of Azerbaijani lands amounts to at least $700 billion.
                  The statement came from member of the working group on assessment of the damage caused to Azerbaijan as a result of the aggressive policy of Armenia Nusret Ibrahimov who spoke to Trend on April 30.

                  He said that the working group still continues its work to assess the damage inflicted. These figures are minimal so far, said Ibrahimov.

                  “We have completed nearly 70 percent of the work,” he said. “The damage to historical monuments, natural resources has been evaluated, the damage to environment has been partly calculated.”

                  Ibrahimov said foreign specialists, who will assist in this work, are expected to arrive in the near future.

                  A working group of 15 people is operating under the state commission for rehabilitation and reconstruction of Azerbaijan’s territories occupied as a result of military operations and affected in connection with this.

                  The Azerbaijani presidential administration, the deputy prime minister, the chairman of the State Committee for Refugees and IDPs, Ali Hasanov, and a number of ministries and committees contribute to the group’s work.

                  The objective here is to calculate the inflicted damage, with the participation of international organizations and in line with international standards.

                  The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. As a result of the ensuing war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.

                  The two countries signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the US are currently holding peace negotiations. Armenia has not yet implemented the UN Security Council's four resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions
                  lol so in that case, turkey owes us over 15 trillion dollars

                    Umm.. just because you have air superiority does not mean you're going to win a fight. Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan, The Vietnam war etc. Even in the US invasion of Afghanistan, the United states with it's overwhelming air superiority has yet to defeat the Taliban. Your statement is wrong.

                      Those are wars of occupations, and wars of attempted regime change. Wars of asymmetrical warfare. Where you have a group hiding in the population and fighting you indirectly, in guerrilla hit and run tactics. Where you have to take special care to avoid civilians when you attack armed groups that blend in the population. That's a totally different scenario than what will take place in a potential next war in Artsakh. It will be a conventional war when two conventional armies go head to head in clearly drawn out front lines, and air superiority is a lot more valuable in such a scenario.
