All peace and prosperity. Are you Hardaster! In connection with the sad news that the frozen conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia over the disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh began to gain new strength, I decided to do some research and find out which of the parties has the most powerful army. After all, as we know, we have to compare. Go Let's start with the army of Azerbaijan. The main source of arms for the country is imported. Azerbaijan last few years led the bulk purchases of military equipment in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Israel, Turkey, South Africa. In addition, its own military-industrial complex from scratch has been created, which is engaged in the licensed assembly of armored vehicles and MLRS, the production of small arms. On the Azerbaijani armed around 350 tanks, including T-72 and T-90S. Some 700 armored personnel carriers and armored cars, such as the BTR-70, BTR-80A, Turkish "Cobra", it is curious that the South African armored car "Matador" and "Marauder" produced under license in Azerbaijan. Surface air defense includes S-300PM, "BUK" and other Soviet-made systems. 450 artillery pieces. This includes 150 self-propelled artillery, Including "MSTA-S", "Acacia" and 2S7 "Pion". At the same time a lot of attention paid to the development of rocket artillery. At present Azerbaijan has Soviet MLRS "Grad" and "Smerch" as well as the Turkish caliber 122 and 300 mm (Sakarya) Russian ognemёtnye system TOS-1A, the Israeli multikalibernye «Lynx». Also, Azerbaijan has about 300 towed guns, over 100 mortars and 12 "Tochka" tactical missile systems. At the Air Force has about 150 units. technology, including five Su-24 bombers, 33 Su-25 and 15 MiG-29 fighters. Of the total number of relatively modern are only MiG-29 and Su-25. The combat readiness of other aircraft - is questionable. There are 26 combat helicopters Mi-24 and Mi-35M 24ed, 20 multi-purpose Mi-17. Mainly consist of Azerbaijani Navy ships and boats, inherited from the Soviet Caspian Flotilla, complemented by Turkish and American patrol boats. Today the fleet in quantity and quality is in the penultimate place in the Caspian Sea, ahead of only Turkmenistan Navy. There are about 64 units. art. Among them are four missile patrol boats, a submarine, four minesweepers and other vessels for various purposes. Interesting facts about the Azerbaijani Army In January 1992, President Ayaz Mutalibov has concluded an agreement on military cooperation with Turkey. In 2004, Azerbaijan joined NATO's Operational Concept and Action uchuvstvuet in the program "Partnership for Peace". Azerbaijani armed forces are reformed by the standards of the North Atlantic alliance. In addition to the reforms Azerbaijan provides support to the NATO-led operations in Afghanistan and until 2008 in Kosovo. Now let's look at the Armed Forces of Armenia A characteristic feature of the Armenian Armed Forces is their rapid mobilization in nature, focused on the deployment of mass armies in case of war with Azerbaijan, considered as the main enemy. Technical equipment of the armed forces of Armenia and Azerbaijan are almost identical, but in contrast to the army of Azerbaijan, the Armenian army has ballistic missiles. On arms it has 145 tanks, which are based on the T-72. As well as 240 armored vehicles of different types, including armored personnel carriers and 80 Russian-made armored car "Tiger". Artillery includes 38 self-propelled artillery pieces, including "Carnation" and "Acacia". About 60 units of multiple launch rocket systems, which are based on "Grad", note the 4th unit of Chinese WM-80. 147 towed guns and 80 mortars. Armenian defense significantly exceeds the number on his rival and includes S-300, S-75, S-125 air defense missile systems and "Circle". Armed with the Air Force has only 15 Su-25. 12 combat helicopters Mi-8 and a small amount of the Mi-24. Interesting facts about the Armenian Army During the war years of 1991-1994 Armenia defeated Azerbaijan, retaining control not only over the entire territory of Nagorno-Karabakh, but also over the surrounding territories of Azerbaijan, twice as large in area, although it could not keep the previously populated mostly by Armenians Shahumyan region. Currently occupied Azerbaijani districts are called "security zones" and controlled by a special military administration. Since 1992, Armenia is in a military alliance with Russia as part of CSTO. In 1997, the country entered into a long-term friendship treaty, which shall provide mutual assistance in the event of a military threat to either party and allows Russian border guards to patrol Armenia's borders with Turkey and Iran. The Russian presence in the country has about 5,000 troops of all specializations. Armenia is not a member of NATO, however, take part in its program "Partnership for Peace". Currently, Armenia is taking part in the peacekeeping mission in Kosovo, and the Armenian peacekeepers are involved in the NATO mission in Afghanistan. Now we can conclude. In general, the potential of the Armed Forces of Armenia and the Nagorno Karabakh Republic in view of the high combat qualities of a soldier Shot provides a reflection on the part of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces. Nevertheless, the trends are unfavorable for Armenia. Azerbaijan economic opportunities above due to high revenues from oil exports. He now has an overwhelming superiority in the air that is offset by Armenia and Karabakh strong defense. Azerbaijan created their own patterns of small arms, started licensed production of armored vehicles and MLRS Turkish, Israeli drones, the South African armored personnel carriers. Today, the Azerbaijani defense industry in its capabilities went into the top five in the post-Soviet space. Armenia is developing its armed forces with the help of Russia. Russian troops also assist in protecting the country's borders. Despite this, Armenia is slowly develops and its defense industry, producing drones, launchers, communications equipment and small arms. It is worth noting a higher level of combat readiness and national identity of the Armenian army personnel, who in every way to neutralize Azerbaijan purchases equipment and the most advanced military hardware. None of the parties is not strong enough to guarantee a quick victory. Azerbaijani Army quantitatively superior, but to achieve indecisive success can only in the event of a complete surprise, to ensure that it is practically impossible. Because most profitable for both parties is an option - to provoke the opponent to attack first. The situation can be reversed if the support of Azerbaijan in the conflict, Turkey will take. And given the fact that Gyumri is the 102nd Russian military base, a new war between Armenia and Azerbaijan can very easily escalate into armed conflict between Russia and Turkey. Given that currently there remains the likelihood of armed conflict between Moscow and Ankara in northern Syria. The advantages of one of the parties in the conflict initiated is not visible yet. It is necessary to hope for sanity leaders of the two countries and hope for a peaceful resolution of the territorial dispute. For this is that all.
