Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan

"Unless progress is made now, more fighting is likely to break out after the international spectacle of Azerbaijan’s much-coveted Formula 1 race in Baku ends in late June. We can only hope that the prospect of more intense fighting in the Caucasus, and its dangerous implications for the region, will concentrate minds on solving a conflict that has been ignored for too long.”

This means they will not be expecting to be attacked during the race. Why not do the unexpected? Attack them during the race instead of sitting back and waiting to be attacked at their convenience. This will shatter the notion of Azerbadjan being a safe country and will make the stupid western nations think twice about holding events there. I believe we need to defend above all else but attacks like the four day war cannot go unpunished. The formula 1 event will give us the perfect opportunity to retaliate in a major way.

Offtopic but I will post it, might be helpful for anyone from our MoD or Army.
T-90 cooked in Syria today by a TOW ATGM.

Fake! Notice the location of the shadow/sun of the guy using the TOW and that of the T-90.

One is around morning or evening sunset, most likely morning cause of the sweater he is wearing evenings in Syria would be warm. The T-90 is between 11:00 to 2:00

Why Russia Postpones Armaments Supply by USD 200 million Loan and when will the Process be Launched?

Why Russia Postpones Armaments Supply by USD 200 million Loan and when will the Process be Launched?
“Russia postpones armaments supply to Armenia out of objective reasons,” Anatoly Tsyganok, head of the Center of Military Prognosis, Russian military expert, told 168.am, touching upon postponing of armaments pursuant the agreement on purchase of armaments by USD 200 million loan from Russia.

Note, throughout the four-day April war it became clear that armaments pursuant USD 200 million loan agreement didn’t reach to Armenia. Moreover, the delegation of Seyran Ohanyan, RA Minister of Defense, left for Moscow to participate in the 5th International Conference on Security to be launched on April 27. After the visit it became clear, that purpose of Armenian delegation was acceleration of armaments supply process.

However, at the same time, these days Azerbaijani websites spread unclarified information, that Russia continues armaments supply to Azerbaijan. It refers Vena 120mm self-propelled guns and BTR-82A armored vehicles, modernized by contemporary electronic systems, in case, when months ago Dmitri Rogozin, RF Deputy PM, then Sergey Shoygu, RF Defense Minister, not giving turn to one another, were leaving for Baku, so that the latter paid for the supplied armaments, as Russian media outlets reported of postponing. After all this it turns out, Russia doesn’t allocate to Armenia the armaments pursuant the loan agreement, meanwhile, essentially, it supplies armaments to Azerbaijan “on credit.”

Tsyganok conditioned postponing of armaments to Armenia by other circumstances. According to him, it’s not Russia, that postpones implementation of its liabilities, but crisis is existent in Russia.

“If we observe the situation in the South Caucasus, we’ll understand, that Azerbaijan owes Russia 5 times much money, than Armenia, by that very accord. I want to attach attention to the following: it doesn’t supply to Azerbaijan, although the latter purchased more armaments pursuant the agreement. Thus, this exclusively is a crisis implication. Whatever Russia does, is being criticized, meanwhile crisis limits Russia. Russia will supply as soon as possible, moreover, on account of the fact, that the accord with Armenia, is an agreement of a military ally. Possibly, it’ll be supplied after mobilization,” Tsyganok said.

Touching upon information circulating in Azerbaijani media outlets, that these days it obtains armaments, he said, he couldn’t clarify that information at that very moment. “However, it seems suspicious to me, as RF Deputy PM Rogozin directly stated in Azerbaijan a month ago, meanwhile the latter didn’t implement its contractual liabilities and hasn’t paid yet; it won’t get armaments. Moreover, Rogozin, who is responsible for the military-industrial field, stated this, and I don’t consider it would be supplied without payments. I don’t think that information is grounded, on account of facts,” he noticed.

To the observation, that the RF embassy official clearly stated, that Russian armaments wasn’t sent to Artsakh, meanwhile it wasn’t recognized by Armenia. What does it mean? He said, that Armenia didn’t recognize Artsakh’s independence, thus, this statement is natural. “Regarding this question the Armenian side is right. Both presidents said it’s not proper, and NKR status should be clarified. OSCE MG documents are in force, Azerbaijan should take into consideration opinions by RA first president,” Tsyganok concluded.

This what i was fearing since day one.they postpone a 200 million deal for "objective reasons"?.i can't trust these russian dudes nowadays.i'm pretty sure that the same guy went to baku and told the reporters how russia is speeding up its arms supplies to azerbaijan and how they are not selling weapons to armenia due to political reasons...even if they are not selling them weapons now,they did back in 2011 and 2014(azeris signed a contract to get a further 12 tos-1A sunshine mlrs,thus expanding the fleet into 18) and that caused us enough damage

Interesting observation.

Is it fact a T-90?

Very fuzzy image of a tank.

I think it needs expert confirmation.

It's not fake, it was confirmed. It's a T-90 that got hit.

Something about this video doesn't add up. How often do we see guys siting on a chair while the tank was is on his site? They should be hiding, being sneaky, prepping the unit. It looks like a propaganda video wanting to discredit the T-90 if it is a T-90.

Also notice how that video's missile (?) is coming down and that of other videos how the TOW moves.

You might be right ... just my observations. I might be wrong.
