Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

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

    Hey guys, I've been off for a while after all the April mayhem, but I'm really excited to see the massively upgraded military position we now have. I think it's correct to believe this buys us about 5 years of peace in the "mainland" as well as Stepanakert and Shoushi. Hit a major city, and it's mutually assured destruction. It doesn't do anything about the border cities, and you can bet the Israeli-Azeri menace will be working overtime to provide what they will claim are Iskander-defeating technologies (and mark my words, it will be PR fluff, that missile is HARD TO STOP).

    Our key at this point will be upgrading our border defenses and local skirmish capabilities. For one, we need a no-fly zone for drones over Artsakh.

    The net result will be more years of stalemate, which I suppose is good and bad. An Azeri grunt-rush grab of Artsakh would obviously trigger a devastating war at this point, so it will be more sniping, more 'intelligence raids' and ever-more idiotic meetings between the OSCE countries. Somewhat amusing that after spending so many billions on their military, Azerbaijan is in no tangibly better situation vis-a-vis Nagorno than 20 years ago.

      If oil prices will stay under $50 for couple years, the country will go back to the stone ages.
      They are in so much trouble I doubt it if they will be able to buy even ammunitions/supplies for the existing armaments.
      Aliyev is even preparing his sheep with his speeches.

      “As everyone knows, in connection with the fall in the price of oil in the world, our revenues have contracted,” he said. “If the [oil] price has fallen by 75 percent, then our revenues contract by 75 percent.”
      Aliyev did not criticize the government for its handling of the economy. Instead, he bemoaned the vagaries of market economics."

      Just a moment...

      Oil prices never fell 75%, they fell around 60% at worse the other 15% is his family's pocket money.

        I cannot imagine that there can be any difference betwenn T-72 and T-90 regarding travelling up hills or muddy fields. T-90 A has some advantages compared to the newest versions of the T-72 (Shtora, welded turret, motor etc.). The point is that the advantages of the T-90 don't justify the costs. So the T-72 B3 is the best option for Armenia in my opinion.

          There's even a newer T-72 now, the T-72B3M designed for the Russia paratroopers (VDV). It's extremely close to the T-90A and costs around 10 times less.

            Btw I forgot to tell you guys that I took a close look at our 9P148 BRDM-2 tank destroyers at the day of the parade, and they have been armed with upgraded Konkurs-M missiles instead of the regular Konkurs.

                AT3 Sagger (NATO designation) or 9M14 Malyutka is one of the most successful ATGMs ever made. They can used on BMP-1s. These are still effective, but not the main ATGM in use in our army.

                  An NKR soldier has been shot and killed in Southern NKR by Azeri fire.

                  I hope they get the proper answer for this crime.
