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.

    can you elaborate?

      Assuming same pilot abilities (which would be a grave mistake) the current Iranian F-14s have longer missile range intersept, flies faster, can fly slower maintaing control, is more manoeuverable in close range engagements, can stay airborn longer, and has a rear (second crewmember, navigator/weapons officer).

        Turkey has made several versions of the F-16 and we do not know which version they would be allowed to sell to Azerbaijan, if any:

        http://www.f-16.net/f-16_users_article21.html

        What does the F-16 purchase do for the turks?

        1) NATO interoperability. The Azeris can now send F-16s to NATO missions like the war against Libya and be best friends with NATO.

        2) A separate chain of resupply. Turkey (and Israel) can supply equipment to the turks so if Russia ever cuts them off they still have another source of weapons.

        3) New weapons. Russia is well known for only selling less capable versions of its weapons. Maybe Turkey and Israel will sell better weapons if the turks buy an aircraft that can launch them.

        4) Unknown systems. Armenia knows Russian weapons like the MiG-29 very well, but not so much about NATO weapons. Countermeasures are harder to design.

        Maybe Turkey will sell only a basic fighter to the Azeris, like the F-16C, and then after the USA approves and the planes are transferred Israel will sell an upgrade package with ground-attack systems. We can hope that friends in the USA or Europe stop this sale.

        There are some rules..that there should be a military balance in kovkas but when they will permit to sell F-16 to Azerbaijan then soon we will buy Su-27..
        now that we don't have Su-27 it doesn't mean that we cannot afford to buy them..that's absolutely wrong...we are not buying them since there is rules..If this rules are broken new weapons you will see in Armenia soon.

          Dear all,

          I've been following your posts for the past 3 years. I never became a member mostly because I don't have time to post on a regular basis. I still don't, but I wanted to get the chance to participate in your discussions from time to time. That's why I registered. I want to start my 1st post with 2 ideas on the topic that's being discussed.

          1. http://milaz.info/en/news.php?id=7373 This link shows the Azeri Defense minister denying the issue of the F-16 sale to his country

          2. I'm no military expert, but I'm pretty sure that the US military regulations require the selling procedure of any American weapon (in this case the F-16s) by a secondary party (in this case turkey) to a third party (in this case azerbaijan) to be approved 1st by the US congress. To make it simple, Turkey cannot sell a single bullet that reads "made in the US" unless the congress approves it. So, I don't see how azerbaijan can recieve US made weapons from turkey or from anyone else, unless there's an OK from washington. Which in this case I don't see it to be realistic.

            if a country like Jordan with a GDP of just 36B$ can have 104 fighters (F-16, Mirage F1, F5-E), then armenia can do it too. If there's a real need for it, it will happen.

                Its not that they are selling US weapons..Now F-16s are produced in Turkey...but anyhow it is not allowed to sell powerful weapons to Middle-east countries.

                      Yeah that is why Saudi-Arabia is driving around with Abrahams and T90's, so don't know where you got the notion that it isn't allowed to sell powerful weapons to Middle-Eastern countries?
