Dealing with our scenario, chances are our tanks will never be at close RPG range. The only scenario will be in taking back territory if captured by the enemy on the first pace. It will be nice to have, like many other things. Our priority has been defensive, since we do not need to advance anytime soon. Investing into explosive reactive armor is the way to go with advances long-rang missiles like the one Armnuke posted of the Metis-M. That is one kick vor system that grilled many Markava tanks. Was a major humiliation for pisrael.

Don't you think that such fence system will at least protect tops of tanks from kamikaze UAVs?

A while ago I wrote about Armenias Howitzers and we currently have about 28 2KS Akatsiyas but are out gunned by Azerbaijan which have 18 of them . The Russians have recently paraded the new 2S35 Koalitsiya-SV . Maximum distnce is 70 km with a maximum rate of fire at 20 rounds per minute . Now this is really a deadly Howitzer. The derived chassis at the moment well at the Victory Parade was T-90 but will eventually be the T14 Armata . If thats the case shouldn't we be trying to make a deal for those T-90 Variants. No one will be getting the T14 for a few years and the Russians will probably will sell some of the T90 variants of the 2S35 . Anyways its an idea, our recent build up of fire power would absolutely be topped off by such a purchase. The question is if the Smerch and Iskander were in our Arsenal for the last 3 years , what exactly did we purchase with the 200 Mil Loan .
Another thing was the TOS-1A . Are they in our Arsenal ?

As far as I know we have 18 2S3's, but I might be wrong. What's your source?

It's unconfirmed. We possibly got/getting Kornet-EM. This is the variant that's mounted on the Gaz Tigr with a total of 8 missiles.
We also got the EW weapons. Add to that the TOS-1A.

Would be great to get Msta-S SPH from Russia.

It will definitely work for the cheap Pizralekami UAVs. They will have to build them high to avoid hatches and turret movement. If the azeris will fly them toys with radio control they will be taken down with radar jamming. If they fly them without radio control the software doesn’t seams to be very smart. It is constantly checking for aerial shapes with contrast in its data bank, reason why it targeted a WHITE van (contrasted with the environment). With the new camo and a secondary metal framing they will be UAV proof. Better yet, placing inflatable tanks with higher contrast around the border will make them toys obsolete.

There are lots of new gadgets coming in the market for the lone sniper. The problem they have not been used in the real world yet to have feedbacks if they really work. We have some decent sniper rifles but they are not the top of the line for the long-range.

Work overload with increased stress.
2 man team is the best.

The azeris are building and using massive sniper rifles with turkish help and licensing. I do not believe they are very accurate, but they definitely have massive fire power for distance. The best retaliation is heavy mortars so they will think twice before venturing in the future.

Retaliation is after the damage is done.
All them mortars for one sniper? That is if you even know in which vicinity the gunfire came from. Silencer?

Hakop has it right on and I agree fully that we do not have a effective up to date snipers and training. Decades behind.

People you can say what you wanna say sorry if the truth hurts.

The ambassador recalled that the Government and the Ministry of Defense of Armenia have decided that Russia will be upgrading the military tanks of Armenia.

“Of course, we accepted this [decision] with regret, but with understanding,” stated Nowakowski.

Armenia and Russia have launched a large-scale program of upgrading the main battle tanks of the Armed Forces of Armenia.

Before entering into a respective contract with Russia, however, Armenia was planning to carry out this program with a Polish company.

They both are for deflecting small RPG rounds. The front is heavy rubber mats to direct the round downwards. The sides are for outside detonations, instead of the actual armor. Will they work? Eh maybe in Afghanistan ... Primitive, for small anti tank rounds.

Well thats a good answer and how much are they to include on every of our T-72A tanks in fact one of our guys said it takes about 100k to upgrade them why can't we spend like 2 million dollars on upgrading them because our T-72A's are way too old to use so we might as well upgrade all of them to this new variant in fact if this was upgraded by our guys and no other country has this variant can we call it our own variant?
