        A SECRET AIRPLANE FLEW TO EREBUNI
        by Svetlana Gamova, Sokhbet Mamedov

        Nezavisimaya Gazeta
        October 14, 2011
        Russia

        HIGHLIGHT: AZERBAIJAN DEMANDS INVESTIGATION INTO THE CASE OF SUPPLY
        OF MOLDOVAN MISSILES TO ARMENIA; Baku proposed the Baltic Assembly to
        investigate into the case of sale of Moldovan weapons through a Latvian
        company to Armenia. The weapons were loaded into the airplane that flew
        to Chisinau from Benghazi and departed, like it turned out, to Erebuni.

        Baku proposed the Baltic Assembly to investigate into the case of
        sale of Moldovan weapons through a Latvian company to Armenia. The
        weapons were loaded into the airplane that flew to Chisinau from
        Benghazi and departed, like it turned out, to Erebuni.

        Recently, Elchin Guseinli, second secretary of the department of
        security problems of the Foreign Ministry of Azerbaijan announced at
        the international conference "Establishment of relations across the
        borders" of GUAM and Baltic Assembly in Baku that Latvian company
        Latspeceksports was involved into sale of weapons to Armenia. Along
        with this, the representative of the Foreign Ministry called on the
        parliament members of the Baltic Assembly participating in work of
        the conference to investigate into this issue. Right after this the
        Foreign Ministry of Latvia denied this information saying that not
        a single Latvian company received a license for striking of the deal
        with Moldovan weapons.

        In turn, one of the presumed participants of this armament deal
        unpleasant for Chisinau, Deputy Prime Minister Valery Lazer, chair
        of the governmental commission for sale of assets of the national
        army of Moldova, reported to OMEGA agency that the Latvian company
        that bought 60 tons of Moldovan armament acted without a license.

        This circumstance caused questions of the parliament that organized an
        investigations commission. On the same day OMEGA published the response
        of Transport Minister Anatol Salaru to the parliament members that
        said that armament from Moldova was delivered to Erebuni (Armenia)
        by Armenian air company AYK AVIA.

        Sources in Moldova pointed out that according to the sale-purchase
        of armament the buyer was supplied with 23 multiple rocket launcher
        systems Uragan
        , 27 self-propelled antitank missile systems Shturm-S,
        1,000 missiles and rockets. According to Azerbaijani military experts,
        rockets for Uragan systems could be supplied from the Russian
        ammunition depots in Trans-Dniester Republic.

        This is all but logical:
        How can an airplane, make space for such an arsenal.
        An airplane can at best charge 50-60 tons... but if we add this arsenal, we are welle above the 600 tons, at least, even if we consider that the ZIL trucks of the Uragans are abandoned, only the launchers are transported..
        Each Uragan 20T x 23=460 T
        Each shell 360 Kg, without its wooden box... that is, only 1000 shells, give 360 Tons..., let alone the rest
        Plus, the truck of the Uragan, is rather specific, not like the Grad... you can not fix it on the average Ural...

              Here is the numbers I got for AN-225

              Max T/O weight: 1,332,750 Lbs (605,796 Kg)
              Max Payload: 551,150 Lbs (250,523 Kg) which is about 275.5 Tons of cargo (each ton is 2000 Lbs)

              Vrej is right, there is no way to carry that much cargo even with the AN-225 in a single shot.

                  Does anyone know if the Armenian snipers still operate alone or are they now provided with backup (a spotter) when engaged in the field?

                  Is this range finder used by our snipers, or is it not practical in that application?
