Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan
For use on vehicles has been developed variant KPVT (tank, Index SAU - 56-P-562T).
Mounted on the BTR-60, -70, -80, BRDM-1, -2. In this photo KPVT mounted on a tripod
In Armenia, upgraded sight TOV-M for SAM Osa
Yesterday, 16:07
Scientific-Production Enterprise Jamhar-DD (Ashtarak city, Armenia) developed and began production of the modernized electro-optic sight TOV-M for mobile anti-aircraft missile complexes 9K33 "Osa".
Complex testing of equipment were carried out earlier.
TOV-M can operate in two modes - with a wide and narrow field of view. When working in color sensitivity of 0.01 lux and increased to 0,001 lux in monochrome mode. The device can be fitted with lenses of two samples:
150 mm ensure 4,11-fold increase,
500 mm - 13.8-fold increase.
Originally installed a television camera is replaced by a new day / night digital video camera with a charge-coupled devices at a resolution of 600x500 pixels. It provides better resolution and contrast in standard conditions and in low light.
Previously installed television indicators CPG-44 (55) were replaced by modern vosmidyuymovym LCD display, which enables high-quality playback received a new camera image of the target at long range.
Burjuin, you may have mentioned this before and I apologize for pestering you it you have but can you tell us anything about Armenia's developments in laser defense technology. I remember as far back as 1994 learning about two Armenian brothers from California's Silicon Valley who created a laser weapon that was tested rather effectively on the battlefield against Azerbaijan. My father actually remembers vaguely meeting them and discussing it. At the time, the Armenian military was very excited about this new weapon(s). Thanks!
General Antranik (1865-1927): “I am not a nationalist. I recognize only one nation, the nation of the oppressed.”
So Azerbaboons seems to have aquired up to 30 MiG-29s(while only a two dozen seems to be in service so far), since 2007. They already had MiG-25s in the previous war. How important do you think these aircraft could be in the next war?
As far as i know Armenia only has a MiG-25 of its own, and a bunch of russian MiG-29s protecting the airspace.
Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan
It were not Armenians from California, the technology is much ''older'' than 1994 and the first ''laser weapons'' developed were by Armenian scientists in the Soviet Union (who later spread the technology in other countries, including USA when they went to live there). Armenia, ofcourse, also obtained (and build) these weapons and used them (although in very rare cases) during the war. Armenians are very strong in physics (and hopefully, we will be in the future).
