Brief off topic.
I'm 67 now. When I was 23 or 24 I used to jump off mountains with an old "ragalow" (sp ?) wing hang glider.
The peacefulness of flying was similar to the ocean and desert experience. Lots of room and quiet.

Had to check what it was ... It is "Rogallo".
We should build them with non-radar detecting material for covert operations.

Thanks burjuin.

The Soviet Union doesn't have a monopoly on star symbols, neither does it own that particular style of hat. US Marines wear the same hat with black and white colors.

True. But I would much rather see them incorporate the Eternity Symbol instead. That symbol has so many meanings tied to Armenia and Armenianness


and its unquestionably ours

Politically we may be on a slippery slope.

Ապրիլի սկզբին Արցախում ոչնչացված ադրբեջանի զինված ուժերի հատուկ նշանակության զորքերի հագին եղել է տակտիկական քողարկաներկված համազգեստ, որը արտադրվել է իսրայելական Fibrotex ընկերության կողմից։ Fightex Combat Uniform անվանումը կրող համազգեստի փորձարկումները նշված ընկերությունը սկսել է 2012թվականին ։
Ընկերությունը գովազդում էր , որ իբր երկկողմանի համազգեստը թույլ է տալիս հիանալի քողարկվել կանաչապատ և անապատային գոտիներում, այն դիմացկուն և անտեսանելի է գիշերային տեսողության սարքերի համար:
Ադրբեջանի հետ համագործակցող իսրայելական Fibrotex ընկերությանը խորհուրդ ենք տալիս գովազդի համար ընտրել մարտունակ բանակ, քանի որ ադրբեջանական հանցավոր ղեկավարության «բլիցկրիգը» տապալած հատուկ ջոկատայինները, քառօրյա ռազմական գործողությունների ժամանակ ապացուցեցին ,որ Fightex Combat Uniform համազգեստի գովազդը չի համապատասխանում իրականությանը...
Այս լուսանկարներն էլ դրան ապացույց...https://www.facebook.com/archakh.arm...15486201870993

Turks thought they were going to a fashion show I really don't see how this is significant enough for it to be mentioned. Its just a shirt and combat pants. There are at least a dozen other companies that sell that kind of wear, I think the fact that it is Israeli is just a coincidence.

Royally, thanks.
Read the article. Mostly accurate but I thought one mistake was made.
I flew an old "prone" ragallo wing. As stated in article, if one pushed the bar left or right, that meant you were putting your weight opposite of the bar. To turn left, you moved the bar to the right, thereby your weight was on the left and you turned left, etc. however, the author of this article got it wrong about to the forward or back. Weight to the front or rear did --- not --- change the up or down pitch. You literally had to push the nose up or you uncontrollably went down faster and faster.
I fly an original death trap. Many died. I had to throw my body weight forcefully into the bar to get the nose pitch to rise.
Although you might make one less radar visible, the size is tough to hide visibly.
Still, we need to look at all ideas in our search.

Armenian Army uniforms do need a slight change. I think maybe teaching some of the veterans not to wear shoes but boots and that today's issue is the only one they should wear. I sometimes see pictures , shirt out no boots pants not tucked in the boot or into socks, beards and so on. Every soldier needs to wear his uniform with pride. It's not a clothing you just wear to your corner store.

The veterans that volunteered to fight did not technically join the army - They are officially militia, similar to the territorial defense battalions of Ukraine.

Again once for all if we can put it to rest.

1500m x 2000m = 3000000 Sq meter = 300 hectares for only to the hill. Look at the border maps if it extends to the eastern trenches that is at least double and it will be 600+ hectares. Overall it is a small area.
As for 600 sq meters that is a joke of a size that is equal of 6 American home lots.

Azad you have to take into account mountain terrain. In hilly areas acreage sometime does not equal to distance. Because territory is on slopes you might be standing on one hill top and looking to another just 200 meters away but having 600 hectares of land surface between those two points.
Also, 1 square meter is equal to 10.7 square feet. So 600 square meters is equal to 6450 square feet. An average home lot in USA starts from 7000 square feet.
So what 600 square feel is a small sized househould land (one only).
