Hahaaha these Azeris are desperate

Azerbaijan to increase defense spending

https://news.am/eng/news/357741.html

Its quiet ironic to see these news sources happening in a hour difference. Oh so much human development lost to military desperation, I wonder if there will be a Syrian civil war like scenario in the future or better have it's military budget take 20℅ of the Azerbaijani GDP.

Now the factor of unavoidable expenditures will take a bigger bite from their military budget.
More equipment they buy more maintenance and upgrading expenditures they will have just to keep all those toys from becoming pile of junk.
While Soviet Union was known for producing armaments that needed incredibly minimal maintenance and upgrades, compared to western countries, we cannot say the same for modern Russia.
Russians are trying to match west with increasingly fancy and sophisticated equipment.
Add to it all the crazy mix of Israeli, Turkish, Pakistani, Chinese coctail that Aliev got ( the quantity propaganda of binge buying), it becomes clear that Azeris have created a logistics black hole that is going to suck in larger and larger sum of manats to keep it functioning.
This will only get worse as equipment gets older.

Azerbaijan army budget to amount to $745 mln in 2017

Wow that's a huge blow for them. From 4(?)bln to less than 800million ?
Now they 'only' have double the budget of Armenia. I hope oil prices don't go up and this stays like this.

Now they 'only' have double the budget of Armenia.

At the rate they buy useless shekel toys at premium prices vs what we get for almost nothing, looks like our budget is 10 folds higher.

Iskander-M systems in Armenia belong to Russia?
Baku, Azerbaijan, Nov. 17

By Elmira Tariverdiyeva – Trend:

A long-lasting intrigue related to appearance of the Iskander-M missile systems in Armenia was revealed by the country’s President Serzh Sargsyan.

In an interview with RIA Novosti news agency, Sargsyan admitted that the deployment of Russian Iskander-M missile systems in the Armenian territory was a necessary measure aimed at preserving stability in the region.

The word “deployment” has finally explained why these missile systems appeared on a military parade in Armenia. Russia simply deployed the missile systems on the base in Gyumri city but didn’t sell or grant them to Armenia. In his interview, Sargsyan confessed that Armenia would simply be financially unable to purchase the Iskander-M missile systems.

“It is no secret that Azerbaijan has been regularly purchasing the latest weapons over the last few years,” President Sargsyan said in an interview with Dmitry Kiselyov, director general of Russia Today news agency.

“We do not have such opportunities as Azerbaijan. I mean financial resources, but we are always trying to balance the situation, by finding the antidote. I think that in this case, Iskander missiles are such an antidote."

Here Sargsyan was cunning. Russia’s Iskander missiles, located on the territory of Armenia, do not impact on the balance of power in the region.

Yerevan can not use those missiles. Azerbaijan understands that in case of the operation to liberate the country’s territories occupied by Armenia and within the international law, the Russian armed forces will do nothing to stop the operation.

However, Russian Iskander missiles are as sedative for the Armenians, living in the country, as they give at least an illusion of protection.

However, only the most dimwitted Armenian inhabitant can be deceived like that, because a person, versed in the state affairs, understands that Iskander missile systems, which were given to Yerevan to be used for one day, can’t protect the occupation regime of Sargsyan from the fair settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

Another question is that why there was this ridiculous intrigue, if Moscow eventually forced Sargsyan to admit, who mysteriously has been keeping silence for two months after the parade and strongly supporting the rumors about the purchase of Iskander systems by Armenia that Iskander systems haven’t been sold and are on the balance of the Russian armed forces, is not clear. This farce only provoked new tensions in already difficult process of negotiations over the Nagorno-Karabakh. However, it is also possible that it was the ultimate goal of the show called "Iskander in Armenia.”

They REALLY really are scared of our Iskanders . They are literally xxxxting their pants , trying to calm the population with xxxxty Iron Domes and news like this.
Man I wouldn't like to be Aliev right now

It's just difficult for them to accept the reality that we have Iskander's without even paying for it. Especially if we consider the fact of how much money in the last years they gave to Russia for buying weapons
