Things are heating up between Armenia and Azerbaijan again, with Azerbaijan shooting down an Armenian Mi-35 helicopter gunship: bloomberg.com/news/2014-11-12/azerbaijan-says-armenian-helicopter-shot-down-in-conflict-zone.html

Wait. I thought the Armenians were the Good Guys. Why do they have Russian helicopters?
Deadone	12 Nov 2014 8:11 p.m. PST
They all have Russian helicopters. Even Brazil brought Hinds. Even Canada used Russian helicopters in Afghanistan as the Mil CH-178 ( casr.ca/101-af-ch178-mil.htm. Who the hell can afford American or European gear these days.

Seems like an awful lot of flashpoints going on around the globe, lately.
Jakar Nilson	12 Nov 2014 10:10 p.m. PST
Wow. That's the first I've ever heard of the CH-178.

Didn't the US Army have a squadron or two of Hinds for a while? Not used in combat, but as OPFOR?
Deadone	13 Nov 2014 3:18 p.m. PST
Lion, that's what I heard too. Apparently there's Mi-8. and AN-2 biplanes as well. USAF operated quite a few MiGs as well – these were MiG-17s, MiG-21s and MiG-23s. They flew test and evaluation and also aggressor training as part of the 4477th Test and Evaluation Squadron (Red Eagles) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4477th_Test_and_Evaluation_Squadron 4477reaa.com area51specialprojects.com/migs.html

Armenians good guys! They were in with the Nazis during WW2 and quite a few were involved in the Holocaust too. Sad for a nation that had genocide practised against them as well. No not 'good guys' just so called 'us' as opposed to 'them' depending who you believe or want to believe. Cheers
