Armenia took a week or two to adopt camoflague netting for their vehicle positions. How much longer to enforce spacing for their troops in the open? Yikes.

They had 30 years to prepare. Did they never get
a Serbian advisor involved? The Armenians had something like 3 OSA decoys. The Serbs had decoys of all manner of equipment. In the intervening years the Russians and others have dreveloped inflatable visual decoys with thermal profiles that mimic the engine signature.

The Serbs anti aircraft batteries had good radar emissions discipline and shot down an F-117.

Did Armenia figure this territory would not be in question again? I get that they lack the oil money of Azerbaijan, but absolutely failing in the anti aircraft/ UAV game is bizarre. Engage the drone AN-2s with long range heat seeking missiles if you must.

Are you debating yourself SS? ;)

Talking about something I know and I'll play along.

Armenia hit a populated area with a ballistic missile, killing at least 5. Azerbaijan special forces exectued two POWs. Everything is going great.

The object is not territory. The object is revenge. Its correcting a 25 year old grievance.

Tit for tat ethnic cleansing is largely emotional. Reason doesn't really factor in.

I'm curious if the US ever held cross training events with either country. I certainly hope not.

Armenia keeps on losing significant amounts of materiel. Those dudes that stay in their tanks or MLRS or SAM systems knowing how lopsided the air superiority is... balls of steel.

It probably won't do much to change the outcome of the war though, unfortunately.

Agreed and yet despite the ever increasing evidence, more and more educated people support Socialism. WTH?

There are millions put in poverty in SA by Socialist policies who would love a bite of anything.

To be fair, American ignorance of South American politics, history, geography, culture, and society is not limited by political orientation. None of us know anything

Speak for yourselves, but just a quick note that MAS's (by all accounts) landslide electoral victory this week was powered by their largely poor, rural, and indigenous voting block.
