We're more than even now. A day or two after the attack, an Azeri private killed about 3 or 4 of his fellow soldiers before killing himself.

Here is a link from July 1, 2010 from a Turkish source

Thanks ninetoyadome. Can you post the link? Also, does anyone have contact with anyone currently serving on the frontline? And if so, would they be able to post something related to current conditions, morale, events, etc? Thanks.

Two more and we'll even the score from the attack that killed four of ours.

It ain't even until we get a 2-1 ratio.....they snipped an experienced Sergeant (won't be suprised if it was with the help of the Turkish special forces, smells like them).
Their moral is down right now with all these in-killings, good time to sink it even further.

You're right. An Armenian soldier =/= an Azerbaboon soldier. In the war, we killed 25,000 of them and lost 5,000 of our own. We'll need to always quintuple their casualties to stay on pace on the battlefield.

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

I just hope that Armenians are not taken by surprise when Azeris do start the war..........since many predict that Azerbaijan will never make war because of, among other reasons, investor’s confidence on the stability of their oil industry and to me this is assuming that they think like we do.
Big mistake. These repeated incursions are proof that they want hostility by provocation. Armenians should counter attack in a special ops without starting an all out war if they are not even going to raise the issue at a international level.

Hit them back hard..........It is the only language they understand. Why would they stop these attacks across the borders if we do nothing at all, not even politically.

That would work good if we were to preempt and quickly take out strategic targets (which right now it would mean to start the war without any international backing).....what I am saying is that we are not even reacting.
Somehow I think the Armenians in the frontline must have a plan for payback without starting an all out war.
