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

No modern military can win a war without a proper Airforce.........some Armenians are stuck in defense only mentality. In that case yes, you guys don't need an Airforce. Dig in deep and keep.

Others know the reality of modern warfare and an Airforce is a must. Airstrikes and special ops come before tanks start rolling and soldiers start marching.

One need look no further than the accomplishments of the Syrian army with the enhancement of the small Russian airforce introduction to see the truth of Eddo's post.
Steroids for ground force is spelled ... Aircraft.

Guys I totally agree with you, but every-time we are arguing on the same topic "Aircrafts". Yes I would like to see SU-35s flying in our sky but cost perspective we cannot afford these toys. Our budget is so tiny and we cannot afford to pay for the: 1)Repair 2)Maintenance 3)Fuel and if we buy we are not going to be able to buy a squadron of 12. Maximum 4 which is useless.
Yes in Syria they play a huge role since the enemy doesn't have S-300, Igla-S, Krug, Kub, S-75, S-125, Osa, Shilka, and else I mean look at our defense capability Azeries wont dare to fly a single plane near the border! Do you know what it will mean for Azeries if Armenia shoots down 2 or 3 aircrafts during war? -War in Armenias favor! The same thing will mean for us if we lose some aircrafts. So lets not buy and waste money on them. I am crazy to see military aircrafts in Armenia I've uploaded a video once about our toys ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNFK__h0X4U ) I even wanted to apply Khamperiants Institute but...

«Հրապարակ» թերթը գրում է. «Անկախության 25-ամյակի կապակցությամբ հայրենի իշխանությունները ծրագրել են աննախադեպ շքերթ անցկացնել, հիմիկվանից արդեն նախապատրաստական աշխատանքներ են ընթանում։ Խոսակցություններ կան, որ 25-ամյակի շրջանակներում հանրահայտ «դեմքեր» են Հայաստան ժամանելու։

Keep believing.
Our MoD is smart, and I have confidence in their purchases. (Unlike what I've seen all my life in Lebanon)
And, Mig-29S/SMT would be perfect for a start

I thank Azerbaijan MFA clowns for entertaining me everyday

Azerbaijan sends protest letter to Russia for selling of weapons to Armenia

The Azerbaijani Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) has sent a letter of protest to the Russian MFA, in connection with the Russia-Armenia loan agreement which entered into force on February 10, and with respect to selling US$200-million worth military equipment and armament to the Armenian side.

Spokesperson of the Azerbaijan MFA, Hikmet Hajiyev, told the aforesaid to Vesti.Az news agency of the country.

It is noted that the supplying of modern weaponry to Armenia does not contribute to the resolution of the Karabakh conflict, and it leads to an escalation of tension in the region.

Hajiyev added that, in this connection, Azerbaijan awaits guarantees from the exporting country that the sold weapons and military equipment will not be deployed in Nagorno-Karabakh and on the Armenia-Azerbaijan border.
