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

A big war is becoming more and more of a possibility in our region. Scary things are happening and much scarier things can come of it all. Turkey is not what scares me. I think Iraq backed by Iran and Russia will make quick work of the ugly birds. The scary part is USA. As USA sees its influence decline and that of BRICS increase, it may decide to trigger a new world war to change that trajectory. This could have huge negative consequences for all involved even a nuclear war may not be out of the question.

You know something...I'm sick and tired of some Armenians always casting doubt about everything in Armenia. And now some of you are questioning the authenticity of these videos. WOW! great job! with citizens like you, I don't think our people is in need of any external enemies! Come to your senses! These are mortar rounds going down, and if you notice closely, many of the rounds are hitting sand covered ground. What damage exactly are you expecting? Moreover, have you ever seen a mortar round exploding? I have..A mortar is not a high explosive weapon, neither it is something coming out of an American Action movie where huge explosions are associated with any type of weapons. I know some of you always expect a huge fireball to be associated with any military operation (that's how you see it in the movies) but frankly, most weapons do not cause such exaggerated imaginary explosions that you expect, unless they are coming from thermobaric warheads. Add this to the fact that the video is being shot from UAV from a certain altitude diagonally and you would understand your own disappointment of these explosions.

If the explosions are animated...than what about the soldiers running in perfect sequence with the timings of the explosions? What about that? animated too? So this is all a theatrical show prepared by our defense ministry? Wow! amazing! hats off to some of you! and we're still questioning why Armenia isn't a forward thinking nation? Frankly, the woes of Armenia are not only due to its inadequate governance. It's equally due to a national mentality of living through conspiracy theories, fairy tales and blaming everyone else for our own failures. As long as this mentality dominates in our population, Armenia will remain in this situation whether governed by the best of people or the worst.

Sorry if anyone feels offended...but I'm tired of this mentality!

Here, here!!! Agree

I am no expert in computer tricks so no comments there expect burjuin's video looks very real to me.

One thing I can comment on is that the slow flying UAV looks to be at 5000ft to 6000ft at airspeeds bellow 60 knots. At one point the UAV comes to a what seem to be a hover (airspeed 0) so my guess would be that a Heli UAV was used in this special ops.
From those altitudes craters created by bombs are hard to see (on video) when you are at an angle and the terrain is already dugged up trenches.

Defense Ministry: Escalation on frontline grows dramatically
Thu 10 December 2015 09:52 GMT | 1:52 Local Time

Escalation has grown dramatically on the contact line of Azerbaijani and Armenian troops.
This escalation is created by Armenia, said spokesman for the Defense Ministry of Azerbaijan, colonel Vagif Dergahli, Oxu.Az reports citing Milli.Az.

He said the cases of ceasefire violation and use of mortars have become frequent on the frontline.
"Armenians have lost dozens of soldiers but report of single victims. Today they have spread the information about the loss of one soldier, saying he was killed by a sniper. But they do not indicate where it happened. Azerbaijani side does not fix their losses," he said.
The spokesman could not cite the reason of the increased tensions.
"We cannot associate it with anything because Armenians frequently violate stability and escalate the situation on the front. This all has to do with the military and political leadership of Armenia, Defense Minister Seyran Ohanian and President Serzh Sargdsyan. The criminal regime and the military and political leadership of Armenia are to be blamed for the response actions of the Azerbaijani army," Dergagli said.

Armenian drone DJI Inspire1 Quadcopter

I knew that would be a DJI from its fix position with gimbal. Those are cheaper than one shell.
Keep them up in the sky for less than $1000 with camera.
I am not sure how the azeris can take them down ... they are around a foot in diameter hundreds feet in the air.
If we see the video, means it returned back and was not destroyed. You can view a low res. quality on your phone/tablet for flying while the hi res. is recorded on an sd card.

They just got their asses handed to them.......never seen baboon run that fast from their post.

Payback is a biatch.....lying about civilian deaths I won't be surprised if they shot their own or just plain BS. How low can you get you no good toonbar (baggy pants) wearing crybabies.

All those toys Aerbaijan has been buying will be ours after we confiscate them.
