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.

    Armenian army among best in post-Soviet area, expert says

    March 02, 2011 | 14:31

    Armenia has a very good army. The armies of Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh are copies of the Soviet army with its best traditions, Igor Korotchenko, a member of the Public Council, Russian Ministry of Defense, Editor-in-Chief of the National Defense magazine, said in an interview with Golos Rossii (Voice of Russia) radio. As regards the most efficient armies of the former USSR, he also named the armies of Belarus and Kazakhstan.

    Korotchenko stressed that Azerbaijan`s military budget is larger in terms of the budget/GDP ratio now than the Georgia military budget in 2008. However, the Azerbaijani army is inferior to the Armenian army in terms of moral and efficiency despite the fact the Azerbaijani army is technically better equipped.

    A rather risky situation may develop. Baku may resort to a military settlement of the conflict due to the fact that its army is formally better equipped, the expert said.

    As regards the possibility of hostilities in Nagorno-Karabakh, the expert does not rule it out. However, neither Turkey nor NATO, or Russia or the United States needs a military conflict in the region. "We do not need a new Armenian-Azerbaijani war," the expert said.

      I'm thinking of something, it seems we had the S-300 for a while now, what did we get as a secret weapon that we revealed the S-300 to the public. So what weapons do we now have that the Azeris can only dream of.

          That is what I would suggest (want) to counter those 24 mi-35M that will be delivered to Azerbaijan (if not already). The mi-35M has the capability for night ops with new weapons such as Ataka anti-tank missiles (8 of them). Azerbaijan has already added these aircraft to their inventory of attack helicopters in paper.

          A squadron can be as little as 9 aircraft and since our pilots are already proficient in SU-25s there should be an easy transition to the SU-25TM which is the Russian frontline combat aircraft. Not only it is a tank killer but with the kopyo radar and AE/R-77 missiles it can engage aerial targets (such as mi-35). The cost should be less than 24 mi-35Ms given to Azerbaijan, I would think.

            Armenia has several batteries and the Russians have several more stationed in Armenia.

              As our ally Russia should be supplying us only, especially when it comes to sophisticated weapons. Or is Russia also Azerbaijan's ally now? Azerbaijan is not part of CSTO and they get same weapons as we do - what's up with that??

                What if Russia is again playing the divide-and-conquer game they've been practicing for centuries?

                  Money. You're not thinking like a business man. We get things for free. they have to buy them. Who is the sucker here?
                  Besides like Ohanyan said, we do know the S300 weaknesses better. Take into note that, even if they got the S300 by now, it would take them years of training to master the beast.

                    Well we do get weapons much cheaper or even free, but how much cheaper? Especially given Azeri's oil wealth I'm sure the purchases are no problem for them. Just the fact that Russia is offering to sell such sophisticated missiles to Azeris is of concern to me, I understand that they are trying to utilise the "divide and conquer" tactic, but they have formal allies in the region (us) that they need to support the most.

                      All empires use divide and conquer anyway. But we stand to benefit much more from S-300s than the Azeris. Not only are we better trained and exposed to it but we lack a major airforce while the Azeris have a better airforce. When the war starts, we'll be squatting many more flies than they will. It's more useful for us.
