You know is other thing army and its preparedness vs politicians and there statements ...
I believe quick war gains blitzkrieg should be uses by armenians (since the inventor of the tactic is armenian)...look what j'ews has gain from it...

Guderian was not Armenian. Some Armenians like to claim him because he has an "ian" on his last name but he is of German descent.

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.

These are a few ideas:

1. Set-up an decoy/soft target for the Azeris to attack and lay ambush. For instance, in one of the frontline trenches, pull out all detachments for a short period of time. The Azeris may send a some troops forward and then Armenians can barrage them with mortar/artillery fire and counterattack. The Azeris will suffer heavy losses and we may capture a number of invaders. This tactic worked during the war. The Azeri were often suckered into an attack only to find themselves surrounded and decimated.

2. Intensify sniping. Remember, it was the Armenians who offered an agreement to the Azeris to disengage from using snipers to try and create goodwill. In a bluster, the Azeris refused. Suit yourself Azerbaijan; the Armenians seems to have highly effective snipers and should intensify their activities.

3. The Armenians hold the high ground and the water source for much of lowland Azerbaijan....use your imagination.

4. I assume the Armenians have specialized units that can penetrate piecemeal into Azeri held territory and lay mines on roads, etc.

5. In northern regions around Artsakh held territory such as Shahumian and north of the Mrav mountains, Armenian snipers or small special forces detachments can easily move into the porous border defenses of the Azeris and sabotage roads, bridges, lay mines, snipe officers, etc

Option number 1 seems it would be particularly effective given how the Azeris have been getting more adventursome lately.

It's a shame some Armenians show Azerbaboon like behavior, those responsible should be severly punished and sentenced to life in prison as this is a matter of national security and concerns the entire Armenian people.

It is a shame. The bullying in the ranks has to stop. Let's not kid ourselves, the Armenian military has the same problems in the ranks as Azerbaijan although it seems much more acute in Azerbaijan. It also seems the Armenian officer corps is never punished.

And that's where we need to liberate more of our lands, occupied Northern Artsakh and Utik. The historic Armenian city of Gandzak is awaiting us. It would not be bad if we reach the Russian border as well...

you always nail it with your strategy........love number 5.

What is sickening in all of this is the pathetically weak response from Russia, USA, and France to this latest violation that literally gives the green light to Aliyev to keep doing this again. Are they giving us the green light as well with this attitude?

My azz is not there on the frontline so I have no right to yell from behind the computer "trow an uppercut" but damn

Armenia must somehow increase its weapons manufacturing industry for the future.

Press Release
The business visit of the delegation headed by the RA Minister of Defence to the Islamic State of Afghanistan from the 24th till 26th of July, 2010





I like General Petraeus....

Our defence Minister also visited Iran's top military leader (I think you posted those already) in regards to regional issues.........Iran can be counted on to help Armenia in case of renewed war. They have had just about enough of Azerbaijanis influence in northern Iran (Tabriz) against the Irani Azeris and Persian sovereignty.

Patraeus will be leading the next war against Iran and will later take political office. He is one of the chosen ones to lead the central bankers' domination of the world.
