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.

      ATS: Anotachou Trchogh Sarg




      The differences between the original and new version of the Krunk are huge. The new version can be classified as an entirely new model.
      The similarities are limited to the twin boom tail and possibly the wings, landing gear and possibly surveillance cameras.
      The fuselages are completely different and the powerplant is "push" versus "pull" layout. Impossible to say how much better is the new one.

      I'll leave it to Eddo's eagle eyes to spot more differences and elaborate on them.

        One question about this:
        Is it supposed to fly, or was it shown as a trophy?
        The camera is absent, wich may indicate recycling of one of the most valuable parts?

        There is a huge difference of volume between this fat trophy, and our Krounks.
        Is the difference in volume essentially a fuel tank (range), or electronics?

          It was shown as a trophy. I don 't think it will fly again.

          The Israeli made UAV is much larger than ours. They are in a different class that is larger, flies further and carries more electronics. Of course, it costs a lot more too. No problem for the Israelis who's entire economy is supported and subsidized by the USA and various Yahoodi groups. Our engineers, designers and technicians are truly doing miracles with the little finances they have. The Krunks and the smaller new UAVs prove there is absolutely no lack of talent on our side.

            Yes, of course!
            Specially that these must be old versions, and we must have better ones, if they show these.

            The 'pocket' , operational UAV-s use catapults and land in a filet?

              We shouldn't underestimate the importance of the Hermes which was shot down over Karabakh. I'm sure our engineers will eventually work to reverse engineer some of its capabilities and encorporate them to our UAVs. The technology that bird carries is very precious for the development of our national weapons program.

                this will take a while though, hermes costs 2 million $. not a few pennies.

                    Thanks for the information, analysis and link to the other article. I guess I jumped the gun a bit, but because of the non-stop Matthew Bryza fiasco and the recent praise showered upon azerbaijan and turkey by Vice President Biden and countless other actions against Armenia's interests I'm immediately suspicious of anyone connected to the US government meddling in Armenian affairs. His only suggestion in that article seemed to be "let turkey mediate because it is so relevant and influential in the South Caucasus", not exactly a direct call for Armenia's subjugation and destruction but still very dangerous and unrealistic. Even the state department currently sticks to the "Minsk group is the only way to go" line and rejects linking Artsakh to Armenia-turkey negotiations or discussing Artsakh in the United Nations.
                    I originally jumped the gun too. After reading a few of him writings, I think that when he suggests involving Turkey, what he means is that the Turks role should be to calm the Azeris down and accept fait accomplis -the loss of Artsakh. This is my reading of it.
