Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan
I fully agree on the Migs, it's unacceptable that we have no fighter jets whatsoever disregarding a lone MIG 25 that will probably be never flown again. We have a strong army, but our air force is a disgrace. Relying on Russia to be the fighter jet component is bad, since we have no control over what they do. While I do agree that we need to stop being so close to Russia, we can't drastically cut ties either. We need Russia as a deterrent against possible Turkish agression, or Azerbaijani attacks on the main part of Armenia thanks to CSTO. Otherwise we'll have to devote a large part of our forces to the Turkish border like we did during the first war. Getting discounts on equipment is also very important for us, since we have a small military budget. However, we asolutely need to loosen Russian control in Armenia. While we should be trying to get out assets back, we are only giving them more.
