Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan
As you all know we will have a military parade this year.
I have some predictions of what kind of new equipment we might see after 4 years.
New things that we will see for sure,
1-2K12 Kub
2-Pachora 2M
3-9K35 Strela-10
4-Milan ATGM
5- Igla-S
--
New things we will probably see,
1-AR1A
2-PT-72U (Polish modernized t-72)
Things we might see,
1-BM-30 Smerch
2- Pantsir S1
3- Iskander M
----
We already know that we are trying to acquire mid/long range balistic missiles from Russia. We even took 200 m. credit for that purpose. Are we really going to buy Iskender? Is it realistic? We will find out the answer after 7 months.
What are your predictions?Comment

As much as I would like to see new stuff, I have a feeling our MOD will stick to its policy, and we will not see too many things on top of what we saw in 2012.Originally posted by AstalaVist View PostAs you all know we will have a military parade this year.

Armenia to purchase SU-30 fighter jets from Russia
Seyran Ohanuyan, Minister of Defense, confirmed the reports that a recent Armenian-Russian inter-governmental session focused on plans for purchasing SU-30 fighter jets from Russia.
Summing up his agency’s 2015 achievements, the minister said that the Armed Forces' development plan envisages proportional efforts towards developing new weapons and buying new supplies. The minister repeated his earlier statement that the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), of which Armenia is a member, is of crucial importance for the country in terms of neutralizing threats from Turkey.
“We are annually increasing our capacities – in terms of both prompt deployment and mobilization readiness,” he added.
Asked about the Ministry’s risk estimates in light of the Turkish-Kurdish clashes close Armenia’s border, Ohanyan replied, “First, as part of the military strategic revision, we have estimated all the security threats, considering also the developments in the neighboring state – on our border. We are carrying out the planning in collaboration with the National Security Service and other bodies.”General Antranik (1865-1927): “I am not a nationalist. I recognize only one nation, the nation of the oppressed.”Comment

Armenia may acquire Russia-made Iskander-M missiles, Su-30 fighters
January 27, 2016 - 12:19 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia continues acquiring long-range and precision-guided weapons for its armed forces thanks to its close military ties with Russia, RFE/RL cited the Defense Minister as saying on Tuesday, January 26. “In the framework of a [Russian-Armenian] agreement signed in 2013, we acquire modern and compatible weaponry, military hardware and long-range and precision-guided systems,” Seyran Ohanyan told a news conference.
Ohanian gave no details of those acquisitions that were apparently discussed last week in Yerevan at a meeting of a Russian-Armenian intergovernmental commission on bilateral military-technical cooperation.
The four-day meeting was co-chaired by Konstantin Biryulin, the deputy head of a Russian government agency overseeing arms deals with foreign states, and Armenian Deputy Defense Minister Alik Mirzabekian. The Armenian Defense Ministry said that the meeting discussed, among other things, Russian arms supplies. But it reported no concrete agreements to that effect.
In June 2015, the Russian government provided Yerevan with a $200 million loan for the purchase of more Russia-made weapons for the Armenian army. Shortly afterwards, a Russian official revealed that the two sides are negotiating on the delivery of advanced Russian Iskander-M missiles to the Armenian army.
With a firing range of up to 500 kilometers, the Iskander-M systems would have significant implications for the military balance in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. They would make Azerbaijan’s vital oil and gas infrastructure even more vulnerable to Armenian missile strikes in the event of a renewed war for Karabakh.
Russia has not exported such missiles to any foreign state so far. Ohanian and other Armenian military officials have been reluctant to comment on the possible Iskander-M deal.
Ohanian on Tuesday did not deny media claims that the Russian-Armenian commission also discussed the possibility of supplying Armenia with advanced Russian Su-30 fighter jets. But he declined to elaborate.
Armenia’s modest Air Force currently consists of more than a dozen older and less sophisticated Su-25 jets that are designed for air-to-ground missions.
The Russian and Armenian Defense Ministers on December 23 signed an agreement on creating a joint regional air defense system in the Caucasus.General Antranik (1865-1927): “I am not a nationalist. I recognize only one nation, the nation of the oppressed.”Comment

Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan
After the last two years the situation isn't same anymore. For maintaining the balance we have to show our capabilities. We don't have the luxury to stick on our old policies. By talking about some secret weapons we can't convince the enemy to stay peaceful. It's not realistic anymore.Originally posted by armnuke View PostComment

Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan
All these large armaments are nice for repelling a major attack. For the rest of the year we should focus on improving our own UAVs and arming them. A small anti armament UAV out of the Igla or RPG 18 launcher as a Kamikaze UAV. Or modify our present UAV by replacing the two tubes with launchers. Primitive but a starting point.

Armenia changes route of gas transportation from Russia
Baku. Agshin Rafigoglu - APA-Economics. Armenia may change the route of gas transportation from Russia through Georgia, said the Deputy Director of Gazprom Armenia Grant Tadevosyan, APA-Economics reports citing to Georgian press.
According to him, 17 km part of the pipeline in Georgia and 3 km part in Armenia passes close by Azerbaijani border: “This region is too instable”.
Along with this, he added that the pipeline was repeatedly damaged due to other reasons and direct gas transportation failed.
“Currently, discussions on change of route are underway. Major part of the works will be carried out in Georgia. Therefore, this issue must be discussed by Foreign and Energy Ministries of the two countries”, he said.
