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.

    T-72B3M is very close to the T-90. Actually the T-90 was going to be named T-72BU, but they named it T-90 to attract more sales from idiots like the Azeris.



    B3M vs T-90

    From what I've seen the majority of our tanks are T-72B, yes.

    The best IFV would be a heavily armored one on a T-55 chassis.

    The Azeris have not received a large part of their BMP-3s because of debts. Razm.info has an article on this.

    You cannot do much when your entire defense budget is $500 million.
    i feel like tank modernization should be our thing. Its a nice economic boost, and the quick tank repairs from the April war showed how skillful we can get.

        azeri's desperation is apparent.

        "NATO Energy Security Threatened By Karabakh Conflict

        The periodic escalation of violence in and around the separatist Azerbaijani territory of Karabakh routinely raises concerns about this conflict’s threat to regional energy security and pipeline infrastructure. However, few commentaries analyze this issue’s broader geopolitical implications in any detail. The intense fighting between the armed forces of Armenia and Azerbaijan along the Line of Contact last month—often referred to as the “Four Days War” (April 2–5)—had serious humanitarian repercussions. But the violence also notably underscored the vulnerability of regional energy infrastructure located on Europe’s and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s (NATO) strategic southeastern flank—namely, the Baku-Supsa and Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) oil pipelines, the South Caucasus Natural Gas Pipeline, and nearby oil and gas terminals.

        On April 5, the “defense ministry” of the self-proclaimed Nagorno-Karabakh Republic warned that it was prepared to carry out offensive strikes against Azerbaijan’s oil facilities using Iskander, Scud-B and Tochka-U systems (Newsarmenia.am, April 5). It is no secret that Armenia has already deployed anti-aircraft, air-defense and missile-defense systems in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan and has held military exercises in Karabakh to simulate possible attacks and air strike scenarios on Azerbaijan’s oil and gas infrastructure (Azatutyun.am, October 15, 2012). Moreover, former prime minister of Armenia and current member of parliament Hrant Bagratyan, along with retired Armenian Major General Arkady Ter-Tadevosyan, threatened Azerbaijan with the use of nuclear weapons and dirty bombs by the Armenian side (Armtoday.info, April 29; Rusarminfo.ru, May 3)."

        You can read the rest of the BS of poor me

        The four day war between Azerbaijan and Armenia last month highlighted the vulnerability of regional energy infrastructure along NATO’s strategic southeastern flank

            Ժիրայր Սէֆիլյանի հայտարարությունը. Եթե «Ֆորմուլա 1»-ի առիթը չօգտագործվի, ուրեմն այս ամենը դավադրություն է
            Lragir.am
            Քաղաքականություն - 28 Մայիսի 2016


            Այս օրերին Ադրբեջանը հարաբերական անդորր է պահպանում իր երկրում հունիսին անցկացվող «Ֆորմուլա 1» Եվրոպական մրցարշավը չձախողելու նպատակով, այլ ոչ թե միջազգային հանրության ջանքերի շնորհիվ: Այդ մրցարշավն անցկացնելուց հետո նա վերսկսելու է սողացող պատերազմի մարտավարությունը, որը ենթադրում է նաև «ապրիլյան» տիպի լարվածության ալիքներ:

            Դժվար է պատկերացնել, որ երբևէ Ադրբեջանի ձեռքերն այսպես կապված կլինեն: Ուստի մինչ մրցարշավի մեկնարկը հայկական կողմը աննախադեպ հնարավորություն ունի անգամ առանց կրակոցի հետ բերելու կորցրած տարածքները: Եթե Երևանը կամ Ստեփանակերտը դրանք հետ վերադարձնելու հստակ պահանջ ներկայացնեն Բաքվին՝ հակառակ դեպքում սպառնալով ուժով վերականգնելու Արցախի տարածքային ամբողջականությունը, ապա Ադրբեջանը, ամենայն հավանականությամբ, հետ կքաշվի մինչև ապրիլի 1-ի բնագծերը:

            Նման ազդեցություն կարող է ունենալ նաև հարձակման նպատակով մեր զորքերի ցուցադրաբար կուտակումը համապատասխան ելման դիրքերում: Բնականաբար՝ այս երկու քայլի համադրումն ավելի արդյունավետ կլինի: Անշուշտ, գոնե տեսականորեն պետք չէ բացառել նաև այն սցենարը, որ Ադրբեջանը միանգամից չի կատարելու հայկական կողմի պահանջը, ինչի պարագայում նա ստիպված է լինելու այդ տարածքները հանձնել մեր փոքրածավալ ռազմական գործողությանը լուրջ դիմադրություն ցույց չտալով և նահանջելով: Երկրորդ դեպքում տարածքների ազատագրման գործողությունը պետք է կատարվի արդեն սերունդ տված միջին տարիքի կամավորների ուժերով:

            Այս երկու սցենարների դեպքում էլ կարող ենք վստահ լինել, որ Ադրբեջանը լայնածավալ գործողություններ չի ձեռնարկելու և, ի վերջո՝ զիջելու է գրաված տարածքները: Իսկ եթե այս օրերի բացառիկ հնարավորությունը չօգտագործվի, ուրեմն այս ամենը՝ Ադրբեջանի ապրիլյան ագրեսիան, Արցախի Պաշտպանական բանակի անպատրաստ վիճակը, մեր հակահարձակման կասեցումը, տարածքների կորուստը թաքցնելու միտումը և դրանց հետևած մյուս բոլոր գործողությունները դավադրություն է, որին մասնակցում է նաև Սերժ Սարգսյանը:

                I think our air defense network and forces have more or less negated the Azerbaijani air force, especially their MiG-29s. (Which are most susceptible to our air defense systems like the S300, Kub, Pechora). The actual gap between our air force and theirs is not very big either. Due to our small size, our air defense is also heavily concentrated Leaving them little room to maneuver and operate.

                The separatists/Russian Army in Donbass have been able to entirely ground the Ukrainian Air Force in the East using Pantsir-S1 and Buk systems. The Ukrainian Air Force is much larger and formidable than Azerbaijan's, however poorly maintained. When the Ukies were flying around Donetsk in early summer 2014, they were getting shot down like with just MANPADs.

                Armenia

                MiG-29s: 0

                SU-25: 11-13

                Mi-24: 15-19

                Mi-8/17: 20-25

                Azerbaijan

                MiG-29: 13

                SU-25: 11

                Mi-24: 17

                Mi8/17: 50


                As you can see, there isn't much of a difference. They have one squadron of MiG-29s, most I am sure would be shot down if they attempted to use them.

                I know your a flyboy Eddo, and your knowledge is invaluable. Based off what I have read, you are very experienced and knowledgeable of aviation. However, it is not a priority that Armenia purchases any more aircraft other than, perhaps, attack helicopters. It would be nice if we were to modernize our SU-25s to an acceptable standard, many of them look like they are begging for re


                Something I saw NO ONE address: Their drone fleet. How much of it did they lose in April?

                They have 34 drones total. How many did they lose in April, and how much of that can we verify?

                I suspect they may have lost the majority of their fleet, or at the very least half of it.



                Yes, we have plenty of tanks but the quality is severely lacking. We could have the best crewmen in the world, modern tanks still provide clear advantages.
                The baboons have su-24's and modernized mi-24's and mi-35's :/

                    The Mi-24 and the Mi-35 are the same thing. Mi-35 is just the export designation for the Mi-24V. They have SU-24s, but they are far from serviceable.
