Tbilisi: American weapons in safe hands - we will buy more

40
Georgia is not going to give up American weapons and will continue to buy military equipment from the United States. This was stated by Defense Minister Levan Izoria during a speech at the International Conference on Defense and Security in Batumi.

Tbilisi: American weapons in safe hands - we will buy more




As the Georgian Minister of Defense explained, Tbilisi and Washington have “good dynamics” and every year their ties only grow stronger. Currently, preparations are under way in Georgia for a meeting of a company of American soldiers who will be trained on the territory of Georgia. In addition, according to Izoria, the transfer of Georgia anti-tank systems Javelin is a very important event.

In a personal conversation, Mr. Mattis told me that decisions on the transfer of Javelin anti-tank systems are made only in respect of countries that have special confidence
- declared Izoria.

The Georgian minister assured the United States that, thanks to their trust and support, Georgia will continue to buy other types of weapons from the United States. He also stated that the rumors that Georgia could transfer the Javelin anti-tank systems to Russia “are not true and Georgia will never agree to that.” American weapons are in safe hands, he added.

        And you friends do not sit down, you are not suitable for musicians .... The fighting qualities of Georgians are known, or rather, their complete absence. Lermontov walked along them for a long time "... as timid Georgians" ...

          The fighting qualities of Georgians are known, or rather, their complete absence.

          One in five Georgian citizens went to the Great Patriotic War — 700 thousand out of 3,5 million people — in fact, every second man of military age, 90 of them were Heroes of the USSR and two were full Knights of the Order of Glory. Is this your complete lack of fighting qualities of Georgians?

            You do not confuse something with something! You recall the time when we were a single state, and the struggle and idea for which the Georgians fought in a particular war was not opposed to our common one! And now they have joined our once common enemies! So don’t wag figs how many heroes they have there! And they are not theirs! And OUR GENERAL!

        Name me at least one "country from the former USSR" that would buy Russian weapons for real money and at market prices. Everything is only in debt. And how will the goods pay? Wine?

          Azerbaijan.
          And what will the goods pay? Wine?

          To be honest, this question is absolutely not interesting for me. I just hinted above that Georgia never acquired weapons from the Russian Federation. Armenia and Azerbaijan acquired, but Georgians did not. And technically they could not buy, for the simple reason that the Russian Federation after the Georgian-Abkhaz conflict in 1994 brought into the zone of confrontation peacekeepers from among the CIS collective forces. For the same reason, the Russian Federation did not have the right to arm the parties to the conflict. And that Soviet military equipment that was in service with Georgia went to the Georgians after the collapse of the USSR hi

      On the one hand, it may be so, but the growing desire of the United States to stuff the borders with Russia with a variety of weapons, as well as familiarizing the Americans with a probable theater of war, is literally at our side.

    American weapons in good hands
    Of course, they greatly exaggerated about reliable hands. In 2008, how many warehouses with American weapons were exported to our territory, incl. and technology. And how many weapons were thrown by these "reliable hands" when fleeing from South Ossetia? American weapons in the hands of politicians who are not entirely adequate evoke a false sense of superiority and push them to adventures.

    Well, with a budget of $ 300 million (only 2% of GDP) and plus 100 million from the Pentagon, the MO does not really turn around.
    The same budget in Armenia will grow even further in 2019 and will be $ 647 million, i.e. 4.5% of GDP plus they buy weapons in Russia not at international but at domestic prices.

    The events of 8.08.2008 of the year showed how reliable these hands are. The legs rushed at such a speed that behind them there was a noticeable dusty mark and these same legs almost demolished the fences of the borders with Armenia, Azerbaijan and Turkey.

    The commitment to buy American weapons so far indicates that Georgia has lost its independence and officially talks about it. Slaves have no choice and they confirm it

    According to Izoria, the transfer of Javelin anti-tank systems to Georgia is a very important event.

    An expensive toy, provided that possible opponents Turkey (2nd and 3rd PA, from M48 tanks to Leopard-2 of old modifications) and the Russian Federation (58th OA, all types of T-72), are armed with older weapons (tanks) than the Western European countries of NATO and the United States ...
    With this money, the Georgian Army had enough to buy (it is better to localize production) older, but reliable and battle-tested, and most importantly cheaper - ATGM TOU -1 and - 2, "Kalr Gustav", "Milan" .... and so sufficient Georgia will not buy the ATGM stock for the Javelin anyway ....
