Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan

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

Azerbaijan has been lacking in the airlift transport aircraft scene for a while. Their air force only has one Ill-76. Perhaps this acquisition might have something to do with nakhichevan?

ATGM systems mounted on armored vehicles is already a thing in the Armenian Armed Forces. The Army has Konkurs mounted on UAZs and the anti-tank variant of the BRDM-2.

The Russians have had an anti-tank variant of the GAZ-Tigr for a while now, armed with Kornet ATGMs. The Army could simply have their Tigrs upgraded or purchase this variant from Russia. Theres no need to start manufacturing technicals with ATGM systems on them when you have armored alternatives already existing in the army inventory.

Hitler could not have said it in that way., if he said anything like that at all. The word genocide did not exist in 1939.

Well he said Annihilation but I used Genocide because it is what it is. How would you describe it ? We are living in the 21 st century , 2016. So would you not rephrase the word annihilation to Genocide as they both have meanings. If the word Genocide existed, Hitler would of used it to describe the event

This is why I always say ground attack vehicles, tanks, etc end up as scrap metal in no time due to better stuff coming out.........and you guys put down having a proper Airforce.
Aircraft do not end up as scrape metal.......they get upgraded.
S-300/400 whatever bet you be out of action in few years while that Mig or that SU-25 or our choppers keep trucking.

Never mind how many Armenian soldiers lives they will save in battle. The soldiers will beg for air support and you thing its not needed.

You're exaggerating armored vehicles lifespans and are putting them on a level similar to the level of computer components. Soviet-era and Cold-War era equipment have been in effective use well past their lifetime in the CIS and NATO states.

Aircraft do not end up as scrape metal.......they get upgraded.

So do armored vehicles. In fact, they get upgraded alot more often, with new variants of the T72 being designed in dozens of different countries every couple of years.

"The U.S. Air Force May Have Just Built Its Last Fighter Jet

In other words, more and more countries are getting fighters, radars, and surface-to-air missiles that can reliably shoot down American planes.
In the direst scenario, Air Force fighters simply won’t survive over enemy territory long enough to make any difference during a major war. In that case, the penetrating counterair system, or PCA, might not be a fighter jet as we currently understand it.
Instead, it could be a radar-evading drone whose main job is to slip undetected into enemy air space and use sophisticated sensors to detect enemy planes ..."

Hey, I've heard that there are rumors that Armenia possesses MIG-23 fighters, is there any truth to this?

We are small country, with a proper Airforce and Armenian Army joining Artsakh we will destroy Azeri military.
In the big picture comparing US stealth planes, yes but in our case NO

Longer we play defense only sooner we will be in big danger.

The only reason we don't have a proper Airforce its not money, its not equipment, its not air to air missiles of the enemy..........its freaking Russia. They know we will destroy Fake stalin's Azerbaijan. That is not good business for Russia. So people don't come up with excuses to justify we can't effort an Airforce.

Not true.

AAF has Su-25s, and there was some news about negotiations for Su-30SM a couple of months ago.
