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.

        Is this UAV compatible with a munitions mayload, or is it strictly for observation/data collection.

        If its the latter, then it won't be very useful in a conflict (but nonetheless congratualtions is due to our engineers and defense industry).

        IMO, we need to attain air superiority fighters (MiG 29, Su-30) to get the edge. On that note, would Russia object to military cooperation between Armenia and China? I've looked into into, and the Shenyang J-11 is essentially a reverse-engineered Su-27.

          Forget the Chinese junk.
          It seems the only way Armenia will ever get air superiority fighter like a Mig-29 is to make it themselves. I gave up

            Armenia can hardly afford to "forget the Chinese junk." J-11s are better than nothing.

            Neither will Armenia be able to produce MiGs in time for a conflict with Azerbaijan. Unless we find other markets, Armenia will lose the arms race.

              apart from the helicopters, it seems to be an airplane, or may be a pair in the back, next to the parliament dome, right side.
              is it so?
              what type of airplanes are those ?
              Su 25?
              Edo, what's in the air in this photo.
              If it were jets, why did they flew during training, and not during parade?

                Armenia will get the Mig-29s at erebuni when russians decide they're too old.

                  You're right arakeretzig, but the MiG-29 is arguably the one of the best fighters in the world right now (even when compared to the F-16 and F-22 on some counts). It will be a long time before they become outdated.

                  Besides, whether Armenia gets MiGs from Russia is contingent upon whether the Russians believe it is in their best interest. Nabucco and BTC are essentially finished, so I really don't see what Russia's hesitation is in creating conflict.

                      Russia won't be weaker, but if Armenia has air superiority it will upset the status quo (which apparently is in Russia's best interest.)

                      Well BTC is up and running, supplying the recipients with ~1 million barrels of oil per day. For Nabucco, I meant that planning is finished. Most likely, it will outcompete Russia's Southern Stream, and Russia is not about to give up its energy dominance.
