How is demanding that soldiers keep dying in the war that is already lost not attack on the soldiers?

But they would have done their part for the country, instead of demanding from the safety of the capital that the guys on the frontline should keep dying in the war that is already lost.

They have conscription army, so unless they dodged the service, most of the protesters would be reservists. If they felt so much about the honor of their country they could have volunteered for active service anytime during the last six weeks, it's not like the army was turning back folks.

Unsurprisingly there are many military age men who oppose the end of the war by violently protesting far from the frontlines.

And Kosovo technically belonged to Serbia, until USA decided it doesn't. But yeah, Armenian leadership messed up.

British drawn borders in India were very much done with ''playing different ethnicities against each other'' in mind

This reminds me of an event during the fluid phase of Donbass War, when a buss carrying replacement shift for Right Sector battalion checkpoint took a wrong turn and got to separatist checkpoint, where it was shot up. As they are checking the dead, on of the phones ring and one of the...

That government is even less independent than those two in Donbass, it is just a fig leaf for Erevan, before the international community. They are just as pro-Russian as the current Armenian government. No he is not, he is simply doing realpolitik. Quid pro quo is a thing you know.

What promises? Can you show me where he promised to defend Karabakh against Azerbeijan, because I can't find anything on the internet. No they are not, they are Armenia supporters and Armenia pivoted West.

There is nothing about it in the Koran

Weight of the round is not the same, 7,62*39 are lighter, it's the 7,62*54 (used in PK and SVD) that has roughly the same weight of the bullet as 7,62*51.

That was more or less a curbstomp, Sharon's folly notwithstanding.

Most of Azeri IFVs are BMP-1&2 and ERA is useless on them. ERA doesn't fully disperse the cumulative stream, so you still need certain amount of armor to stop it and BMP armor is not thick enough. Worse, detonation of ERA block could also cause spalling and crack the vehicle hull, as the Syrian...

Armored vehicles lack situational awareness in such enviroments, that's why you need supporting infantry. Depending on the type, RPG warheads arm at 10-15 meters.

They did the same a few days ago. It's not an uncommon maneuver, send your forces to the border in order to compel the side you don't like to dilute their fighting force by keeping some of their forces on your border. Turkey is doing the same to Armenia.

That's their oil money in action.

And that is why Erdo will keep causing trouble, as he needs to distract his people.

Turks used them effectively in Syria and Libya, Armenian AA defenses are outdated, they took down some UAVs but also lost some Osa systems. It seems Russia is sending the additional AA systems through Iran.

Erdo first tried to invoke the Article 5 when Syrians shot down recon F-4. It's basically considered that if you go looking for trouble abroad then Article 5 isn't valid.

He tried to invoke it in Syria, he was told it doesn't count.
