Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan

Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan

I am thinking of a possibility of Azeris using us at a possible scenario of even destroying those oil rigs and getting invaluable publicity and international support against us.
So it is a big question if those rockets can actually curb an outcome of total war between us and Baku.
In any case, they should be used only for command centers, arms depots, bridges and airports in realistic scenario. Unless we want an international scandal in unimaginable proportions and very little strategic value (destruction of oil rigs will not effect immediate military actions while war is on, but only Azery economy in long run) we will be stupid to use them on oil rigs. Just talking this scenario is misleading and gives us false sense of security.
The only deterrence we got for Azeris is the guaranteed of military defeat on ground and loss of territories. That possibility will also put Azeri population against the war circles. We have to make Azeris understand and believe that war will cost their society too heavily.
Their cities will be bombed and all around Artsakh their territory in big depth will turn into desert.

I think hitting their energi infrastructure is an added bonus, which will signal to the west to pressure Azerbaijan not to start new wars, or their oil wont flow and will be a big fsck you to turkey too. It's time to play hardball with these barbarians, only thing they understand.

I think we are relying too heavily on those islanders ...

There are (7+-) main bridges that separates the Kur river south of the reservoir all the way to the Caspian Sea . If we use smart, precision guided munition in an event of war, that should drastically slow them down for days if not weeks.

I dislike Armenia adopting foreign custom of forcing soldiers to shave. Anybody who has ever seen a picture of an Armenian soldier/fedayi before 1994 knows that this is foreign to us. The army should at least allow a short, well groomed beard.

Start from 09:46 and pay attention to what he's saying about taking 'Strategic heights'

14:10 ??? Did they mess up the numbers ? Even Meydan tv ( azeri media ) says there are ( at least ) over 100 deaths while they say 88 for azerbaijan ?

I have to disagree with the video on one major point. I don't think the aim of the 4 day war was to start a war of attrition. From all that has been said and is known about it, I believe they wanted immediate results.

And as far as taking heights are concerned, I have said this here before, over the last 2 decades, both sides have taken, lost, retaken heights and posts. The line of contact has always been dynamic.

I agree , that's what I was saying that they had wrong points.

Watching it again and I now see better that it's really biased. I first tought it was good because it told simple things and explained the overall geopolitics but rewatching really shows that it's azeri based website
