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.

        Yes it is very desirable to have an effective air force.
        No country can be without.

        So would it take to have an effective air force.

        Lets take things from where we are and how does the desire for an effective air force pan out.

        First thing first

        We need planes, maybe 50 –60.
        To buy them we need big bucks.
        At the moment the treat is to Artsakh and If Armenia id attacked we have the Russian Migs......at the moment we really don't need more than 2 or 3 squandrants (say 6 to 8 SU-25 per unit).

        Then we need to prepare pilots.
        Bringing them up to a standard they need many hours of flight time.
        To achieve this you need fuel, ( lots of it) maintenance and wastage.
        More big bucks.
        We do have a good small pool of experienced pilots and flight instructors.
        we can improve there.
        If a person is already a trained pilot (even though he never flew a SU-25) bringing him/her up to speed can happen fairly fast. Aircraft familiarization, procedures, capabilities, avionic, switchaligy, emergency procedure, check list use, learn various weapon systems, You guns familiarization, anti AA system use, etc.... can be done in a simulator. Then you overload the pilot in flight and let him learn the flight control feels, maouevers, targeting your gun......For green pilots they will work themselves up to built hours in trainers. 250 hrs in type is close to being an expert. This includes flying missions like border patrol, night vision activities.

        Additionally you need time, a lot of it.
        Not really....if support and budget its there you be surprised how fast we will improve. Russia knows this and that is why they don't give us Mig or fight jets because they know we will destroy Azerbaijan.

        Do we have the time and money?
        We have to make the time and money.

        On the other hand what does it take to incapacitate the opposition air force.
        All I will say is much much less.

        Secret of winning wars is not to go head to head with the enemy but avoid their strengths and take advantage of their vulnerabilities.
        Whether we like it or not one of the strengths of Azerbaijan, compared to us, they have big bucks.
        Diverting resources to big bucks projects is like fighting Azerbaijan against their strength.
        You just said it......out AA are obsolete within short time and an aircraft you can modify, change, increase its performance, ets...

        Our strengths are our mountains.
        Are we going to leave our mountains and take to the skies?
        Our Eagle in our emblem wants to reclaim her skies......wings over Armenia.

        If there is a war most likely it will quickly evolve into artillery duels with around 20 km strip of dead zone.
        A lot of destruction and loss of life and not much headway. Not in the short term anyway.
        Its important that this destructed zone is in their territory.
        This is why with a small airforce and smart airforce, they will trap, bring them to our AA, shout them down, destroy important infrastructure from command centers to radar site out of our missile range and accuracy.

        If we really want an air force lets invest in a fleet of drones where the pilots can even be grandmas.
        They can support our ground troops and our special forces.
        No, you make a fleet of drones armed with bombs and make Komikazi runs.....you and you dry British jokes.

              YEREVAN. – A delegation from the Royal Norwegian Air Force Academy (RNoAFA) is in Armenia on a regional visit.

              On Tuesday, the delegation was hosted by the Ministry of Defense of Armenia Institute for National Strategic Studies (MOD INSS).

              The objective of this visit was to get familiarized with the INSS development prospects, and to explore the avenues for scientific and educational cooperation.

              INSS Deputy Head Beniamin Poghosyan briefed the Norwegian colleagues on the institute’s accomplishments, and the project of establishing—with the transformation of the INSS—the National Research University of Defense in Armenia.

              The interlocutors also discussed several other matters of mutual interest.

              The guests, for their part, presented the RNoAFA activities in education and research.
