reports of a flood of Armenian volunteers into recruitment centers, Azerbi MLRS being used near the town of Terter.
Azerbi forces have made gains near Karabahk and have begun to fortify the positions.
Fighting ongoing near the Armeni controlled town of Martakert
>>29469060
nevermind, turns out it was an Mi-24
Turks stirring shit again, same as last time
more info: Armeni artillery is being mobilized, with sightings of SKAD rocket artillery (ballistic missile with range of 180km) being seen near the Armenian town of Vardenis, moving towards the front lines.

On paper the Azerbaijani military is more advanced, they have mig 29s and more mi-24s, they have bmp-3s and t90s and about a 2:1 size differential in tanks, ifvs and aircraft.

Daily reminder
>>29469234
But they suck ass at fighting.
>>29469234
Azerbi forces have a clear advantage with regards to artillery (they got TOS-1's, Smerch, T-155's, ATMOS 2000's and Msta's). Which they will use over their air assets as they don't have the equipment to spare (still have an aerial advantage over Armenia as Armeni only got 11 SU-25's) and Armenia has a decent amount of AA equipment.
>>29469263
holy shit that is hilarious, im going to start following him now on twatter
>>29469288
that was in the 90's. I wouldn't say they suck now considering the Azerbi government has sunk money into modernizing and training their armed forces.
In addition, there might be the possibility that they've learnt from their mistakes. Im not saying they're amazing, but to state that they still suck is a bit presumptuous. We'll see how good they are soon enough.
>>29468928
The Armenians kicked the shit out of the Azeris during the breakup of the USSR, but the Azeris have used the interim period to buy an assload of newer equipment and gear. The Armenians still have extensive dug in positions and the combined NKR-Armenian army, so I believe it would still be a close affair if the war heated up again. Would also be interesting to see how Russia, Turkey, and Iran react.

Fuck me this is more serious than I thought. How many are dead on each side?
>>29469321
i always get confused when one source calls it SCAD and the other one calls it SKAD
>>29469326
about 18 deaths reported on the Armenian side with 35 wounded as of 4 hours ago with Azerbi reporting 12 of their own dead 8 hours ago.

Azerbi forces captured what they call an Armeni saboteur, no details on where or when he got captured.

>>29469408
no idea, these are just government reports. Though Azerbi GRAD's have been reported firing on Armenian positions, so a few fatalities could have been from that.

The only thing is that the territory is claimed by both countries. It isn't an attack on Armenian but an attack on "The independent republic of Karbakh" (which is under Armenian protection).

So who is a good guy? Armenia seems to be a Russian puppet.
>>29469758
There is no good guy and bad guy in an ethnic war, let alone, war in general. Azerbaijin is aTurkish puppet but also a part of Russian influence.
>>29469787
>Azerbaijin is aTurkish puppet but also a part of Russian influence
That confusing. It's look like Azerbaijan have a lot of modern Russian weapons and a bit of Turkish weapons too. Armenia doesn't have shit.
>>29469810
Armenia have a Russian military base. That's all what you need to know.
>>29469810
>Armenia doesn't have shit
That's were you're wrong. Armenia has always been supplied and backed by Russia. Even to having a defense pact. The geopolitical situation with Russia and the two is that Putin doesn't want the two to escalate, otherwise he'll be forced to lose influence with Azerbaijin and aid defenses from Armenia.
>>29469758
Armeni are mostly Christian, Azeris are overwhelmingly Muslim. That settles it for me.
>>29469758
My family from my father's side lives in Armenia. During the war in the 90s, both countries commited acts of ethnic cleansing. Neither of us are clean, but I don't care, I'd do anythinf to ensure their survival. I regret being unable to get the dual citizenship, might as well get one now.

Turkey is doubtless looking for any possible way to drag NATO in
>>29470620
NATO is only obliged to act defensively for its own members, none of which are involved yet, and even if Turkey did it would be their own aggressive act and not affect article 5 in any way.
>>29470620
not gonna happen. not aftr the recent tensions.
also, regarding azerbaijan, how likely is it their military suffers from the same problems the arabs have, i.e. good equipment but poor training, poor organisation and an overboarding bureaucracy with no delegation? Their situation seems comparable, they are both rich in resources, ruled by a de-facto dictator who has to live in constant fear of a coup, and their muslims and therefore bring similar cultural prepositions into the equation.
>>29470672
>>29470656
It's not going to happen, but the Turks will probably try some false flags or something.
>>29469060
Super HIND or Mi-24 PU1
>>29470672
They are probably not up to western standards but they are probably up to Russian ones. Same level as the Armenians. The Azaris also have a relationship with Israelis so they might have received some training from there too. They might be Muslim but saying that that determines military competence would be like claiming French soldiers have same competence as Congolese ones. Arab military incompetence is due to a long list of cultural and political factors, Islam plays a rather small role in technical competence and a rather large one in moral.
But Armenians are fighting for survival, lose NK and they are done. Armenians have a good relationship with Iran, a counter balance to Baku-Ankara. Loosing NK means loosing that life line. So they will fight, just like in the past with much grater moral and the courage of a desperate men.
If it does escalate into a real war, the question will be will the Armenians be able to survive until Russia resolves the issues, by any of the means available to it.
>>29470656
Im pretty sure turkey would be left to dry no matter what.
>>29470803
the weird thing is that there is this kind of triangle unfolding right now. The West(tm), Russia and Turkey in some kind of mexican standoff, they are all beginning to dislike each other right now. If you ask me it's going to be a question of who of these three will ally with whom.
>>29470818
Pretty sure you need to lay off the vodka.
>>29470818
Good, they should be. Edrogan's regime deserves everything bad that happens to it.
>>29470803
Ive got an increadibly basic understanding of this whole situation, so firgive me if Im wrong but a few minutes of googling tellsme that Azerbaijan is 85% Shia muslim, wouldnt this all line up Azerbaijan closer to Iran than Azerbaijan to Ankara?
This is the first time Ive ever really looked at NK, Armenia and Azerbaijan in detail, so its all a bit foreign.
>>29470893
The portion of the west that makes up the actual forces of NATO would not, at this particular juncture, decide to possibly start WWIII over a majority Muslim country whose government appears to have actively been trying to agitate some kind of conflict for a while now. Sorry. Not going to happen. Even if it kills NATO or it gets Turkey kicked out they aren't going to mobilize troops to help, ESPECIALLY American troops.
>>29470922
This.
>>29470949
Yeah, I don't think anybody is in a big giant hurry to defend Turkey. They're sliding back into the pit Ataturk dug them out of in an awful hurry.
>>29470929
Azeris are very secular, they were Soviets at one point. They're also ethnically much closer to Turks than to Persians.
update:
Armenian Totchka U and Smerch spotted near the town of Xankendi
Azerbi GRAD's spotted in Karabakh
sorry for the hiatus, was at the gym
Does Armenia have any way to counter the T-90S?
>>29470982
near**** not in Karabakh
>>29470986
determination
>>29470986
they got Konkurs and Shturm as well as a few Milans for their infantry for long range contacts.
They got T80's (20 of them i believe) and about 200 T72's though only a few are confirmed to be T72 BA/3's. Don't know what the other variants are
So its Armenia vs Azerbaijan
but Armenia is a Russian puppet and Azerbaijan is influenced by Russia and Turkey?
>>29470978
They are, but they're very blood thorsty against us Armenians. We literally hate each other, the last conflict ended up with the both of us attempting erhnic cleansing in the region. We've managed around 700 Azerbaijanis removed and their invasion force killed off approximately 1,200 Armenians. If they did it once, they'll do it again. I'm not gonna risk my family to falling into their hands.
>>29471042
Azerbaijin is a puppet of Turkey, but Russia has been recently trying to get them out of Turkeys influence and into theirs for a much stronger buffer zone and field of influence in the Caucus. So far, its not working
>>29471120
*Are* you getting any support from the Russians? I don't grudge it a bit if you are, mind.
>>29470922
Let's be honest.
Ergodan is to Saudi Arabia what Putin is to the Soviet Union.
A decade plus long game of "I'm not touching you."
They're both wankers.
>>29471042
Azerbijan has gotten closer to the west (and through that Turkey), hell the Azerbi president was in DC recently lobbying the Americans for broader and deeper security relations.
>>29471134
Putin is in a bind, if he supports Armenia, he'll loose Azerbijan to the Turks and to the west. That's why he's been more or less neutral and is asking for a ceasefire.
>>29471134
Yes. We're very dependent on Russian trade and commernce in our military. Most of our equipment and indigenous firearms were highly influenced on them. If Azerbaijan were to go on a full offensive, then Russia is to fully cooperate with the defense pact and aid us directly with boots on the ground for our defense
>>29471145
>Saudi Arabia

gr8 b8 m8
>>29469474
Azerbaijan inflates its spending numbers.
Their fighting force is shit and last time they fought Armenian volunteers (not even professional soldiers) they lost 5:1 casualties
>>29469736
Nope, that video was posten in 2011
>>29470929
They are also Turkic, but more importantly there is a large Azari population in the north west Iran and they make a large majority of population in the region around Tabriz. So from Iranian point, if NK falls, so falls Armenia and than the Azaris could come for Iranian territory, and there already is a conflict there,primarily political but it could escalate. And short term, Iran and Turkey are competing in the same region for dominance, Ankara is brother to Baku to Tehran has to be a cousin to Armenia to keep the balance and presence.
>>29470876
For a period now Turkey has been growing and as such has sought to expand its influence on its region. And that brings it in conflict with Russia on more than one front. Russia has been in decline and is looking for a way to reverse that and that means they have to strengthen their power in their region.
The West falls into two camps, US is willing to fight and contest even in serious situations, such as with Russia, but lacks resources to be everywhere. The shift to East Asia is the issue of US national security and takes precedence over contesting East Europe and the Caucuses from Russia so US is and will look for local allays, say like Poland and Turkey to counter Russia, they will do it for their interests but the overall result falls in line with US strategy. While the EU countries have no desire to challenge anyone, and are willing to exercise might only on people who can't strike back.
If it come to blows, US will help Turkey and EU will moan and bitch but do nothing until winner is known.
>>29471156
Aliyev visiting Washington is irrelevant, as Armenia's president was also in Washington just two days ago. Also, even though Russia wants to look like they have a neutral stance, they give free shit to Armenia and charge Azerbaijan for military hardware.
>>29471200
They 'give free shit' only cuz they border turkey and russia wants s-300s and s-400s as close to Turkey as possible.
Armenia does pay for a large amount of hardware.
Russia has 3000 troops in Armenia and more on regular exercizes.
>>29471168
not really, the budget looks inflated because it includes procurement of new equipment.
>>29471200
>irrelevant
Azerbijan has been spending millions lobbying the US for better relations.
http://foreignpolicy.com/2015/06/11/how-azerbaijan-and-its-lobbyists-spin-congress/
also, that's because Azerbi ground equipment tends to be newer than Armenian equipment.
For example: Azerbijan has 100 t-90's, the Kornet and BMP3's and Smerch's and TOS-1's while Armenia has t-80's, Konkurs and BMP 2's and other older equipment.
Update :
Armenian Casualties : 18 dead, 35 injured
Azerbaijan Casualties : 200 + - dead, 2 Mig-24 shot down, 2 Israeli made UAV shot down, & 9 tanks eliminated
>>29471272
with all due respect that smells like propaganda. Thus far the Azeri gov has only confirmed 12 deaths and no wounded.
Got any info on the reports? the Nagoro-Karbakh government has previously made reports of massive enemy casualties that turned out to be false, so that makes me skeptical.
>>29471258
>>Azerbaijan has newer hardware
kek
That hasn't hrlped them before, also, Mig-24 isn't shit compared to the super HIND, which is what Armenia has, as a pose to the Mig-24. So try harder mehmet
>>29471272
I wouldn't believe casualty reports like that even if the equipment advantage was switched. And I assume you mean Mi-24.
>>29471331
history repeats itself.
>>29471322
>thinking im a turk
and here I thought it was going to be a decent thread. Im just here to look at non biased facts.
Kornet's and T-90's ARE newer than the T-80's and Konkurs. That's a fact, nothing more, and Armenia have the latter.
>that hasn't helped them before
they might have adapted, might not have. Who knows, I just wanna see how both sides do.
>>29471272
>9 tanks eliminated
Fuck me that sounds like a lot.

>>29471308
The tanks sound reasonable, as for the dead troops, both sides are bullshitting.
>>29471642
kinda. The fact that they've shown dead Azeri troops but no downed tanks doesn't necessarily raise suspicion, but I have yet to see any pics of those. And considering the Armenians have been quick to show off pictures of dead enemy combatants and destroyed equipment, Im left wondering if its just that they haven't been uploaded yet or they are bullshitting. Plus no reports of Azerbi tanks in use (as of yet).
All im saying is im waiting to hear more on the info the Armenian guy has brought up.
>>29470986
>Does Armenia have any way to counter the T-90S?
Kornets.
>>29470803
>They are probably not up to western standards but they are probably up to Russian ones. Same level as the Armenians.
This meme again. Which western forces are we talking about? US, French, and British are definitely head and shoulders above but compared to say Germany and they are there with it.
Also Russians have showed themselves time and time again to be a peer force with the big 3 of NATO if only in skill(equipment is getting there with the rearmament efforts), even before the reforms that have improved them they handily stomped the Georgians who are actually in a very similar status with regards to skill with the Azerbaijans- having recieved training and advice from Western-leaning militaries.
>>29471685
There are a few issues with with. The Armenian side doesn't allow any footage to be shot, it doesn't even want people uploading the movement of military hardware within the country. Now the funny thing is, Azerbaijan denied the downing of a helicopter, until Armenia released the footage, so I'll just leave you to ponder at that.
>>29471685
>kinda. The fact that they've shown dead Azeri troops but no downed tanks doesn't necessarily raise suspicion,
Knocked out tanks doesn't mean its destroyed.
Knock out anything flying and its certainly destroyed when it inevitably crashes.

only states that have signed the Ottawa treaty "can't" (wont) use land mines. And at most you could be taken to the ICC for using them after signing onto the treaty. But they aren't banned under the geneva convention and you can always opt out of the treaty before using them.
TLDR: states ethically opt out and it isn't illegal under international law

Raw amount of money does not mean much. Take Japan and their crazy high overall costs or Brazil and personnel costs as examples.
No one is else is going to be involved, they'll want the status quo to continue and push for peace. The conflict is solely integral to the belligerents, there is no proxy involved here regarding Nagorno-Karabakh and no other nation wants to be involved in a territorial dispute that doesn't concern them.
You're better off just discussing Armenia/NGK and Azerbaijan's military actions.
>>29473116
Perhaps they will help overthrow Aliyev with limited troops and will concentrate on sending guns and advisors to the kurds to help ousting Erdogan and will let Armenia and Russia take care of Erdogan if he is not down after the defeat of Azerbaijan. A total military victory over him would not even be necessary,just enough to oust him.
The persian dominance over the south caucasus would be fortified and the turkish kurds would be best friends with iran in the aftermath and perhaps we will even see a kurdish state arise.
How much of Azerbaijan's infrastructure do you guys think relies on the internet? Could a DDOS attack help Armenia?

You say that now, but Georgia might jump in with Armenia if they get tons of fleeing Christian refugees.

>>29474409
>Christian refugees.
Huntington pls, Azerbijan can't do more than take all of Nagoro-Karabakh and even then the Christina refugees would just settle in Armenia. For them to make the trek all the way to Georgia would be stupid.
Even then, Georgia wouldn't intervene in either side because they still want to play the middle man now that they've left Russia's sphere of influence. They got luke warm relations with both countries so it seems illogical to think they'll come to the aid of Russia's key ally in the Caucasus.
>>29470803
Wait, so the Armenians, a past Soviet state that is overwhelmingly Christian is allied with Iran, a muslim nation, while the Azi's, a muslim nation are allied with the Turks and Jewish Israelis?
Jesus Christ this is going to be a goat rope, isn't it? This is a convoluted pre-WW1 mess again.

Armenian pictures of dead Azeri soldiers in Karabakh
>>29471744
That's a smart policy. To be honest, they whole thing about the Syrian War making for good footage has a lot to do with syrians apparently being completely fucking stupid and telling the entire world what they're doing and when and where and how and with what strength.
Ukraine footage is mostly either strait propaganda, or doesn't seem authorized. Just posted by volunteers.
The Georgian War, iirc, had very little media coverage during the war, especially after RUAF bombed a BBC camera crew (which of course is legitimate. operational secrecy and all that)
Most of the neat pictures we saw came out after the war.
Fighting has resumed after a lull during the night in which Armeni artillery was reported.
Now an Azeri offensive is taking place in the south of Karabakh and so far APC's and artillery have been reported.
Armeni hackers have reportedly taken down Azerbi government websites.

not really, Azeri forces took mount lalyatyapa prior to renewing attacks in Southern Karabakh. My guess is that they want to push as far as possible so as to whither away the defenders before more reinforcements from Armenia arrive.
Now Azeri have announced a unilateral ceasefire.

It was EU/USA actually. After they saw their UA friends being slaughtered by separatists they called for peace. Russia is still pretending that she has nothing to do with the conflict, just a concerned observer
>>29476205
I was referring to the Donbass region. But you are right there was no Russians there. Just oppressed Russian civilians who decided to rebels against dictators from Kiev and took with their tanks onto the streets.

But they haven't claimed lands as they did Crimea there, yet.

>and took with their tanks onto the streets.
Now let's be fair here, they didn't have tanks at first. A few surrounded ukranian armed divisions abandoned their tanks and ran over russian border, and only then separatists aquired some tanks. I believe it was russian term, we let you save your lifes, you live your vechicles intact for rebels to grab. (Maybe Russia gave them a few tanks after that, nobody was counting).

So Azerbaijan has lost a bunch of T-90S's?
>>29477665
Acording to Armenia they lost some tanks (but no proof as of now) but it wasnt said which ones.
I bet the Donovians were behind this!
>>29468966

Turkey, Belarus and Pakistan have offered military aid to Azerbijan.
A few mortars landed on the Iranian side of the border, prompting the Iranian border guards to issue a warning to both the Azeri and Armeni forces.
More artillery fire from both sides.
Ukraine becoming involved by asking the OSCE Minsk Group to activate talks on the Karabakh conflict.

Azerbijani news has reported it

The Belorussian president called his Azerbijani counterpart to express concern and the "Foreign Ministry of Belarus has expressed a clear position supporting the inviolability of the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan."

Their offensive has ground to a halt. Can't tell if it's political pressure, Armenian reinforcements finally arriving to the front lines of their general incompetency.
Most likely the first two as Azerbaijan is under political pressure to end the fighting and is having go face Armenian reinforcements arriving from Yerevan. Though they've held their ground thus far against counter attacks (reportedly).
Who knows, only time will tell
>>29480865
Or***
During the first war between 1988-94, Azerbaijani military was under command of a journalist and a plumber. Azerbaijanis were discriminated during Soviet rule so they didn't have much high ranking officers. Their military organisation was in a huge mess.
Armenian military was under command of a four star Soviet General.
In last 20 years Azerbaijan organised their military well. This time they will most likely crush armenians but probably right now they stopped the assault due to political pressure. Still they got some of their stolen land back.
On paper Nagorno-Karabakh belongs to Azerbaijan. So a limited war shouldn't trigger Putin but nobody knows what this corrupt dictator will do. Also he will have a hard time due to Panama documents and his $2 billion in off-shore accounts, so he might use this as a smoke screen.

$2bn? That huge demoting from previous $100bn claims. Putin just got trouble sleeping from these revelations, lol, sure.
>>29483657
Are you an Armenian or Azerbaijani ?
>>29483808
Look at how badly the Armenian weaponry is inferior to the Azerbaijani.
MiG-29s,T-90 .
Just bring nukes to the table,Russia won't even have to fire a shot to bring the Azerbaijanis to ceasefire
>>29469036
If this were one of the cancerous boards, I'd bet my intestines we'd see a US flag pretending he's Armenian.
>>29483808
Oh please, you guys eat up the trade deals with Turkey and the West. Hell, even your government is lobbying for further relations with the US. Russia only gave you those weapons because:
a.) Putin wants to remove Western influence from your country by having a neutral stance in the conflict and making trade deals with your government
b.) Putin wants reinforcement with the buffer zones in the Caucus and influence in the region, thus needing your government and Armenia's to cooperate otherwise he's forced to attack your government if they ever invade Armenia
c.) Armenia at the time was attempting to start relations with the EU, the deal was also contributed to Armenia's loyalty with Russia, and guess what? It worked, Armenia immediately stopped and joined Russia's economic pact.
Either way, we're not handing you NK, that has always been our land ever since the founding of our kingdom.
>>29483989
I'm half Armenian, my father was adopted. I'm still trying to get a dual citizenship. So far, I'm having trouble finding sources to see what the Azerbaijanis claim on their side. Any help would be grateful, since both sides have been bullshitting with their reports.

I'm russian, not armenian though.

>>29479697
Azeris are Shia.
The Iranian - Azeri conflict has nothing to do with the Shia-Sunni conflict, but stems from the fact that Iran sees Azerbaijan as their land.
Iran backed Armenia back in the 90's in the original Azeri-Armenian conflict, which was seen as a betrayal by the Azeris and created the hostilities.
This was later cemented by the Azeri supporting Azeri separatist movements inside Iran (southern Azerbaijan).
>>29479720
Russia is yet to take sides, plus it could be a misquote... they could just be offering to sale them some equipment.
>>29481875
>This time they will most likely crush Armenians
a military without fighting experience crushing in a mountain/high hills combat... doubt it.
Furthermore, the Armenians are fighting for their lives, or at the very least they believe they do, while the Azeris are fighting an offensive/expansionist war that they have started. Such things directly effect moral and so the quality of the troops.
The Azeris may win, but I'd doubt it will be easy.
>>29484234
1,700 square miles or 4,400 square kilometers for metric users. Population is a majority of ethnic Armenians. Tbe Azerbaijanis tried tk change the demographivs in the region to gain claim of the land during the Soviet Union, we're not allowing those criminals from cleansing our people again.
>>29484431
Of course we're fighting for our lives. The Azeris has always tried to change the demographics during the Soviet Union era and have attempted ethnic cleansing during the war in the 90s. The moment the Azeris step into Armenian soil is the moment Russia steps in to stop them due to our defense pact (Just like the US defense pact with Japan). We acquired that territory fair and square during the first war amd we're not going to allow them from taking it from us. Otherwise, they'll genocide the people either violently or demographically.
>>29484535
Well that's too much land to giveaway.
>>29484600
>We acquired that territory fair and square during the first war
that sentence is a bit of a conundrum considering they're "regaining the land lost".
>genocide our people
that makes more sense
>>29484632
We'll we're still basically at war with Azerbaijin since we haven't signed any peace treaties afterwards, we only signed a ceasefire compliance. Thus we're still at war, although it has gotten a bit cold until now. I still recognize that occupied land as my people as it has been in the past and in the future. The problem is that the Azeris have the West on their backs, and Turkey is a large player. The Turks hate our guts, and they're more than willing to aid Azerbaijin if the conflict goes South
>>29484601
It really isn't when the land is composed of ethnic Armenians in the Nargono Karabakh Republic to be annex with Armenia. Not to mention that territory was acquired theough the first war and will remain so. We can't compromise anything with the Azeris since they'll refuse anything unless all of it is theirs. Not to mention the land acquired is approximately a meager 13% compred to the whole country. The capture of NK to Azerbaijan is the death of my people living in that region

Seems to me it's just better to offer up this: Armenia evacuates all Armenians in NK to Armenian territory, gives up the majority of NK.
Meanwhile Azerbaijan gives up Nakhchivan to Armenia and takes most of NK, the amount of land traded is a fair and even split. Anyone in Nakhchivan who wants to go to Azerbaijan may do so freely during this switch.
Seem fair?
more arty being fired by Azeri troops. Armenian troops claim to have recaptured large swathes of land in the north.
Because of conflicting reports between the Azeri and Armenian governments, its difficult to know if the reports are true.
Oh god I hope this escalates, finally something interesting going on. I mean can you truly say that you're living if you're not for total kebab removal?

>>29468928
>tfw you will never operate with a battle-priest

>>29487253
as much as people on 4chan like to meme about t*rks, Turkey is a more valuable partner in NATO than most other member nations. They just need to boot Erdogan before his Ottoman revivalist fantasies send him over the deep end.
In all honesty, there will probably be conflict in Turkey pretty soon. Erdogan is tremendously unpopular with most of the country, and the old secularists he removed from command in the military still command a lot of respect among enlisted men.
>>29487309
I thought Erdogan was popular with Islamists and nationalists who are still a majority there.
>>29487335
Islamists, yes. Nationalists can go either way. All the secularists would have to do is conjure up shades of Ataturk and mount a relatively united political front and Nationalists would flock to them in droves.
The main issue is that Erdogan has almost complete control over the national police force and the media a la Yanukovych. Erdogan's starting to step on a lot of toes, though, including the US. If he gets to uppity I'm sure a more direct leadership change wouldn't be out of the question.

Turkey is a lynchpin for the Mediterranean and the US would never let it fall.
Not to meantion they are a nuclear shareing state.
Armeni MoD reports 3 enemy tanks knocked out during morning clashes, no indication as to where or when it happened (apart from happening this morning).
Old news but apparently Armenia has lost ten tanks yesterday against Azeri forces (same source for both reports, plus its from a "neutral" i.e. Russian news source)
>>29487471
They also reported a grad
so it sums up to around 16 vs 12 tank kill count in favor to Armenia...
