looks like things are heating up again and they be killin each other again.
in the last war in 1988-94.. Armenia kicked the derriere of Azerbaijan big time, they’re like baby Israels.
Armenia slaughtered Azeri MiG-25s, MiG-21’s, and Su-25s.
Armenia only lost 1 mig-21 and some Mi-24s.
But things have changed
Azerbaijan’s GDP is now $94 billion, its per capita income is over $10000
its military budget in 2011 is $4 billion
Armenia is not even half of that. GDP is $16 billion, per capita income $5000
military budget, $386 million
Since then, Azeri’s bought late models S-300’s, more MiG-29s, upgraded Mi-24’s by south Africa, and in the process of getting T-84’s from Ukraine, Namer IFV from Israel, JF-17s from Chinastan, and Israeli upgraded T-72s
but they retired their MiG-25s which are easy targets.
in contrast Armenia got some S-300s..and that’s about it.
could perhaps the Ottoman Jrs finally defeat the land of Agassi, Mikoyan, and the Kardashians?
Will the Russians come save the Armenians? will Turkey help Azerbaijan?
Will Georgia use this time to spank Ossetia with the distraction?
