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.

    I know what they are, what I meant is that Armenian, Russian and Azeri media have been talking all these two last weeks about the possibility of Azerbaijan being sold some of those systems by Russia (which it seems, as of today, to be true). I know it would be negative for our air force effectiveness, I also heard Armenia has no such aircraft this system can target, and I thought we didn't have these system in our territory. But then I read ArmeniaR1 post that we indeed have many of these systems, and Federate told me that they are in power of the Russian base in Gyumri...and I just wanted to know, if we have them too, then what it's the problem? People speaks about that Azerbaijan's acquirement of the S-300 will give them superiority over us, and will change the balance in the regions military. Yet if we also have some of these in our territory and since we have an agree with Russia on security we can use them if the case is given, then this only means Azerbaijan's purchase of S-300 would only give them some of the systems we already have
    Yes a very interesting situation may arise.

    If as was said the Armenian S-300s are controlled by Russians surly the Azeri S-300s will also be controlled by Russians.
    What a farce that would be.

    The S-300s are located in our territory but not sure whether they cover any of Karabagh territory.

    My understanding is that the S-300 can target most flying objects.
    I remember a reference where they were being compared with the Patriot ( antimissile) system.

      S-300s placed in Azerbajian can target any of our military aircraft within range regardless of size, performance, and speed. It can also track and shoot down missiles. If this turns out true, the location of the S-300s will say what it is really there for.

      Also there are many types of S-300s
      Effectively what you are saying is that in case of hostilities with Azerbaijan
      they will have S-300 in their armory, while Armenia will not have any.

            I just read here that we indeed have S-300 in our armory, but they are Soviet era ones with a range of 90km, while the ones Russia's selling Azerbaijan have a range of 200km.

                2010-08-03Arthur Baghdasaryan says military and military political cooperation between RA and RF on the highest level
                YEREVAN, AUGUST 3, ARMENPRESS. The military and military political cooperation between Armenia and Russia are on the highest level, secretary of the Armenian National Security Council Arthur Baghdasaryan told today the reporters, pointing out that the two countries initiated a number of big programs in the military sphere which are being effectively carried out. “Ten days ago heads of Russian military-industrial enterprises visited Armenia. Concrete agreements have been reached on creation of joint ventures in the military-industrial sphere. In near future visit of the Russian President Dmitry Medvedev to Armenia is expected, afterwards the summit of the CSTO will take place in Yerevan. We may clearly state that the military-political cooperation is effectively developing,” Baghdasaryan said.

                    Imagine the US providing Armenia with some of its best weapons it has and then
                    making an identical statement but the text changed such that Armenia is replaced by Turkey or Azerbaijan ....

                    Hopefully the results of this cooperation will not be sold to Azerbaijan ..... except of course if the price is right.

                      Azerbaijan to buy target drones from Turkey?

                      06 August 2010 [16:24] - Today.Az

                      Azerbaijan will buy Turna target drones from Turkey. APA reports quoting the military sources in Turkey that discussions are being held on this issue. Azerbaijani servicemen visited Turkey several times and learned the usage and technical maintenance of the target drones. These target drones have been created to increase the air defense skills. Turkey’s TAI company is producing the drones. Turna is used to pursue radar, optical, remote controlled weapons.
