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.

      we understand how much it costs to have an efficient air force, Belgium a state that is so much richer than Armenia has a couple of working planes. It's better for now to concentrate on anti-air weaponry especially when fighting in Artsakh then to waste money on airplanes.

        Armenia will gradually be able to upgrade and enhance its Air Force but it will be a slow process and have to be done little by little due to the size of Armenia's budget. This is not a loser mentality but a stark reality. The purchase, maintenance, spare parts, advanced training required for just a squadron of say MiG 29's or SU-25's is very costly. Not too mention that many aircraft currently in use (most of which came on-line in the 1970's-1980's) will become quite obsolete as an effective tool of warfare as anti-aircraft weapons are gaining increased effectiveness are relatively cheap, available, and easier to use, maintain, upgrade, etc. Armenia can continue to buy surface to air missiles and other anti-aircraft weaponry and create enough of a barrier to prevent an Azeri attack or easily thwart one (this process is well under way)---additionally, purchasing long range surface to surface missiles and long range heavy artillery should also be a focus. Once this is done, Armenia can then focus on air strike capabilities. Defend the front-lines and airspace, counter with long range missiles and artillery, and then launch counterstrikes.

          Funny how when it comes the Air force the Budget is a big issue but anything else we are happy as lamps that we get all these weapons at reduced price and even free of charge from Russia.

          Not so for additional SU-25s and upgrades this will not be a problem at all and can be achieved with minimum budget.
          Aircraft and parts, price 2Mil max (10Mil for Mig-29) each without Russian discount. Parts are widely available and the aircraft is built very well with a high reliability factor as a safe and dependable bird. Armenian pilots are already proficient and fully checked out in SU-25s and can transition easily to more advance version of SU-25s due to their prior training and flight time experience.

          The Su-25 is a ground support aircraft (unless you get the Russian attack model), which has little to do with air defense systems of sorties in enemy territory. The aircraft stays within max 20 km of ground forces and may also be under the command of a ground officer pointing targets. In essence the aircraft becomes part of the Army, not Air Force.

          It is soldiers best friend from above.

            So let's assume Armenia were to go shopping for more aircrafts, what would be best for us as a purchase with a total defense budget of 400$ million a year? Take into consideration what we already have and do not have http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armenia...orce#Equipment

              It will depend on the mission Federate.

              It might not be a bad idea to also have Funds allocated for the creation of indigenous strike UAVs
