US Department of State approved the delivery of Javelin ATGM to Georgia

The US State Department approved a document providing for the delivery of a lethal weapons Georgia We are talking about the possibility of selling Javelin anti-tank missile systems worth 75 million dollars. This was reported in the American media with reference to officials in the US State Department and the Pentagon.

Earlier, Georgia requested deliveries from the USA of more than Javelin 400 ATGMs. In addition, the possible contract provided for the training of personnel of the armed forces of Georgia on the use of American anti-tank complexes.



US Department of State approved the delivery of Javelin ATGM to Georgia


If we consider that the price of one Javelin ATGM currently amounts to about 250 thousand US dollars, then we can say that the USA sent less complexes to Georgia than was requested by Georgia. Or we are talking about "used" systems.

The Pentagon says that the future supplies of the ATGM of the Georgian army will allow it not only to better prepare the material and technical base for NATO standards, but also increase the possibility of Georgia’s defense. Also added that the supply of Javelin ATGMs "will not upset the balance of power in the region."

If we consider that Georgia is actively selling various weapons to Ukraine, it is quite possible to assume that in the event that Javelin is delivered to Tbilisi after some time, part of the party will move in the Ukrainian direction. Recall that Ukraine which year has been trying to bargain with the United States for the supply of anti-tank systems to further unleash a new round of civil war in the Donbas.

        It will be so. Moreover, such a "partnership" between the United States, Georgia and Ukraine "run in" on the eve of the war on 08.08.08/XNUMX/XNUMX.
        At that time, overseas “well-wishers” paid for arms deliveries to Georgia, from a number of countries, including the non-profitable ones.

          Then Urkain delivered Buki to Georgia with Urkain calculations that shot down Russian planes. Most likely this batch of anti-tank systems is intended for urkaina, but it is shipped through Georgia so as not to annoy Moscow.

        This is when it was scotsiko to the Americans, someone to supply weapons? In various ways, insolently, secretly, as you wish, but they will deliver. Even if they know that everyone knows everything. They wanted to spit. I am interested in another question, that everyone is so worn with these "jewels", is that some kind of mantra? The whole world wedged together on these "Jewels"? Introducing the dialogue:
        - Give up.
        - Give up yourself.
        - Do you have a Jewel?
        - We don’t have any jewels.

            Only the "Javelin":
            1) a relatively short range;
            2) long preparation for firing - until the GOS cools down, the enemy tank will have time to leave the shelter, shoot and hide back;
            3) poor penetration.
            For the "death of armored vehicles and helicopters" it must be able to be very accurately and correctly applied. This is not a “Cornet”, from which it is possible to peel from a maximum distance and where it will go. If the "Javelin" did not get into the upper hemisphere - he only scratched the paint tank. The only advantage of the FGM-148 is the ability to leave the place immediately after launch, which is partially offset by long preparation and short range.

But seriously, about the "death" of armored vehicles and helicopters, then judging by the hype, this is more like ordinary American self-promotion, which states have no equal.

    We have Ukrainian anti-aircraft missile systems “Skif” (more precisely, not purely Ukrainian like “Stugna”, but a version with a Belarusian aiming sight). Great news for the Georgian army. "Scythians" in the role of a long arm (hit at 5.5km), javelins in reserve. The mechanized units of the alleged enemy in a big asshole ... although do not think that we are going to fight, not at all. The current government, unlike Saakashvili, is pragmatic. We are working in a purely defensive direction, at least from the 2012 of the year there are no aggressive rhetoric on our part. Air defense was also bought in France, the first deliveries should be from 2018 of the year.


    And on the account of deliveries of these ATGMs to Ukraine - it is ridiculous! We have nothing else to do and supply them! Lol!
