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.

    Hezbollah, which has the 9M133 Kornet, believes that they are not enough to defeat a modern tank with anti-missile systems ( http://www.jpost.com/Defense/Article.aspx?id=210366 ).

    Hezbollah now trains several teams to work together to peel the defenses of a tank. The first teams to attack use recoilless guns (B-10/B-11/SPG-82/SPG-9) and RPGs to destroy anti-missile systems and reactive armor. When those teams start to hit the tank, then teams with missiles attack. This was reported in the book, Hezbollah Warriors of God, by Nicholas Blanford.

    Another idea is that when tanks can detect lasers and jam or intercept modern SACLOS anti-tank missiles ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SACLOS ), you have to think about taking old MCLOS AT-3 Saggers and replacing the guidance wire with fiber-optic cable (wire acts like an antenna for jammers). Since they are much cheaper but less accurate than modern missiles, you must fire a volley of several Saggers. A volley of 5 or 6 old missiles is now better than one modern missile when fighting a modern tank.

    So, before the tank defenses are gone no missile will work, and after the defenses are gone any missile will work. Old weapons used in new ways with good communication between special teams. There is nothing more important than to be clever, disciplined, take initiative, and work together.
    Interesting thoughts. Though the second idea doesn't sound very practical, since you need more manpower and time per tank in an intense battlefield.
    We really need to stock up on as much ATGMs as possible, also improve supply lines from Armenia.
    the great merkava had a rough time in mountainous terrain in a guerrilla war , who didn't have regular uniform. It'll be interesting to see how T-90 and Altay(korean copycat) fair in Artsakh, provided they even get there. My bet is on T-90 since it's much lighter and maneuverable.

    IMHO, most of the next war will happen in their desert plains, which will give those T-90 and altays a run for their money, which is why they're acquiring them in the first place.

                    Air defence force of Russia military base begins muster in Armenia

                    YEREVAN March 16


                    The air defence force of the Russian military base in Armenia began a
                    muster at the highland training centre Alagyaz, Capt. Kirill Kiselev,
                    who is an officer of the press service in the Southern Military
                    District in Gyumri, where the major facilities of the military base
                    are deployed, told Itar-Tass on Friday.

                    Russian servicemen passed a 100-kilometer march to the fire training
                    range. The field muster, which will last more than a month, will end
                    with special exercises and live fire drills from the air defence
                    self-propelled system Shilka, the air defence system Strela-10 and the
                    mobile air defence system Igla.

                    At the tactical exercises the air defence troops will drill the tasks
                    of a defensive battle in the highlands, when the enemy uses high
                    precision weapons and electronic countermeasures, Kiselev said.

                    As part of scheduled drills the servicemen will have live fire drills
                    on air targets in the conditions, which are very close to combat
                    conditions, from reinforced positions and at a brief stop in the
                    movement of the military convoy.

                    More than 200 servicemen, about 30 pieces of weapons and military
                    hardware are involved in the field exercises.

                    The staff of the air defence units at the Russian military base that
                    are on combat duty in the CIS united air defence system will show the
                    level of their skills at fire drills at the Kapustin Yar fire range in
                    the Astrakhan Region this spring.

                    The Russian military base is deployed in Armenia under the
                    Russian-Armenian interstate agreement. The republican authorities
                    consider the deployment of the Russian military base in the country
                    along with Russian border guards as an important component of Armenian
                    national security.

                      it's unfortunate that they (and armenian forces on turkish border) mostly train defensive maneuvers, we should train attacking maneuvers too for hayastan's sake!
                      what's the point of repelling an attack, if turks can regroup, replace their troops, and send them again? we should be planning to make strategic depth inside their territories, so it'll be harder for them to attack. sigh.
