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.

    PanARMENIAN.Net - Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili said on Monday, April 9, he will attend Tuesday’s test of Georgia’s first unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), RIA Novosti reported.

                Georgia Tests Domestically Produced Drone
                Civil Georgia, Tbilisi / 10 Apr.'12 / 19:58




                A screengrab from Rustavi 2 TV showing a Georgian-produced drone, April 10.

                Georgia unveiled a domestically produced, catapult-launched surveillance unmanned aerial vehicle during a test flight on April 10, observed by President Saakashvili.

                According to the Georgian Ministry of Defense drone can stay aloft for 8 hours and can fly up to 3,000 meters above the ground and reach a top speed of 160 km/h.

                MoD said the drone with its dual camera gimbal, photo and infrared camera, can be used for reconnaissance, surveillance, coast guard and border patrol missions, as well as for civilian purposes.

                The UAV has a parachute system for landing and an airbag to prevent damage on impact, according to MoD.

                Georgia made drone acquisitions from Israeli defense electronics company Elbit Systems under the contract signed in 2007. President Saakashvili said in April, 2008 that Georgia had about 40 drones, among them medium size Hermes 450, which has endurance of about 20 hours.

                But the deal went wrong; in April, 2011 Elbit Systems said it had filed a lawsuit against the Georgian government in the amount of about USD 100 million. In late December, 2011 Elbit Systems and Georgia settled the dispute and signed a deal according to which Georgia agreed to pay USD 35 million and to return to Elbit “certain equipment and sub-systems” bought from the company.

                “When you make procurement from abroad a seller may not give you a full technology or may share technology [bought] by you to your adversary,” Saakashvili said at a presentation of the drone. “No one will share this [pointing to the Georgian-made drone] with others; it’s ours… We no longer depend on others.”

                This is the second time when President Saakashvili touches upon the risk of sensitive data being shared. When presenting a Georgian-manufactured multiple rocket launcher in early March, Saakashvili said by having local military production “you do not depend on others, that someone may cheat you or share data with others”.

                Although in neither of these instances Saakashvili gave any specific cases, but both of these remarks seem to be echoing allegation, which has emerged after WikiLeaks started releasing emails snatched by hackers from a U.S.-based global security analysis company Stratfor.

                According to one such email from February 2009, a source allegedly told a Stratfor senior analyst, that surveillance drones, which Georgia bought from Israel were compromised after Israel and Russia “made a swap – Israel gave Russia the 'data link' code for those specific UAVs [unmanned aerial vehicle]; in return, Russia gave Israel the codes for Iran's Tor-M1” missile systems.

                Speaking at the presentation of the Georgian-made drone, Saakashvili said that Georgian engineers had been developing it for last 18 months and the drone would be further improved within next year and a half.
