This information was released by the press service of the Georgian Defense Ministry.

For the exercise, the US military delivered equipment by sea from Romania and by air from Germany.

For the first time in all history In the Agile Spirit-2021 exercise, which has been held since 2011, the Georgian troops are using domestically produced Didgori armored vehicles. Two versions of this armored car will take part in the exercise: "Meomari" and "Medevac".

Didgori Meomari presents a 120 mm self-propelled mortar. This armored vehicle, like its other modifications, is based on the Ford Super Duty pickup truck. The body is equipped with four doors. The crew of the armored car includes a commander, a driver and three soldiers who make up the calculation of the mortar.

All modifications of this technique are protected by armor consisting of angled steel plates. It protects the crew and troops from shrapnel and small arms. weapons... Particular attention is paid to the protection of the bottom from mines. Therefore, three layers of armor are installed there.

The windshield is bulletproof.

Meomari and Medevac.

on the basis of the Kolkhida truck!

Probably cool. You just need to know the performance characteristics of this machine, it is even better to buy this machine through intermediaries and fire it at the range from all available anti-tank weapons in order to understand from what and how it can be destroyed quickly and reliably. , I'm not out of spite. NATO exercises on the periphery of our borders take place almost every month.

"Agile Spirit"

Do not you think that these teachings have a very symbolic code name "Agile Spirit". This apparently implies that the Georgian troops, when they see the enemy, so quickly quickly disappear from the battlefield like a ghostly spirit that even their allies will not see this maneuver.

[Walking towards the light]

It seems to me that during a fight these children of the mountains will distract some of our troops on themselves. Many mosquitoes can drink the blood of an elephant.

Even the RPG-7 will open it, this is not a tank, but just an armored vehicle with appropriate armor. So it makes no sense to spend on the left purchase.

[Walking towards the light]

Then why rivet shushpanziri, if you can buy M 113?

[Cananecat]

You can't find enough technology for all the slaves.

[Romario_Argo]

Even RPG-7 will open it

as usual, enough Yakut with PKM

[Cananecat]

Nice photo ... I like it too, only he was not alone there ... and there were no Georgian tanks. ))

[Romario_Argo]

were just about the same buggies

Why does the comparison between Didgori and Colchis appear in a joking manner? Probably because ZIL worked on the project of the latest models of the updated KAZ trucks, the equipment, related infrastructure and housing were not bad at the plant from Kutaisi, but the cars were assembled in such a way that, as in the joke: "you can only lower tangerines from the mountains." Therefore, many people think that collecting a special "cargo" F-series or even a Mercedes X-model, at least on the basis of Ford pickups, will in any way get "Colchis" ...
Didgori was developed in 2011 by the Tbilisi Aviation Production Association in cooperation with the state military scientific and technical center "Delta". Produced at the Tbilisi Tank Repair Plant.
If I am not mistaken, at the moment there are not many such armored vehicles in the Georgian army.

To be honest, it’s no longer funny - when the dancers for the most part are "for the Motherland!" Were you fighters? ..no, not on Soviet films, but in general?

You know, I have a lot of nationalities in my friends, I saw a lot of people in "non-standard" in different parts of the ball ... Even for money - they are not fighters! But! Behind the HOUSE they are handsome !!! Again - if there is someone nearby. I don’t need to throw links to a beautiful film about a father who is looking for a son throughout the war ... when you bring it, you are enemy number one and the whole Gori is screaming that the Russian is alive, and the son is dead. ..this means more to me than statistics!

The Anglo-Saxons in their colonial policy acted simply - the natives were cut down to 12 knees, who were not cut down and sent to cotton plantations. Do you propose to do the same? "" Even if Russia expands its possessions at the expense of neighboring colonies, unlike other colonial powers, it gives this her new acquisitions more than she takes from them. And not because it is driven by some kind of philanthropy or something like that. The original aspirations of all empires differ little, but where a Russian person appears, everything miraculously gets a completely different direction. among the Eastern Slavs, since pre-Christian times, moral norms do not allow a Russian person to violate someone else's conscience and encroach on property that does not rightfully belong to him. Therefore, no matter how victorious the Russian weapon is, in a purely mercantile sense, Russia always remains a loser. " R. Murchison, To be a winner, you have to be no longer human.

the war is not won by heroes. they only correct other people's mistakes with their heroism, the war is won by the average soldier, who won the best

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

There were and are, Bagration for example, besides 91 Georgians - Hero of the Soviet Union.

So that the Georgians know how to fight. And let's not chauvinism.

And there is nothing to laugh about. The United States will use Georgia as one of many staging areas for an attack on Russia, in this case from the south.

And any exercise is training in the transfer of troops and interaction with the local army. Even a small amount will be enough to understand how much and how quickly you can transfer forces and resources.

+ Georgia itself will put up several divisions against us, and here they will already have a majority.

For 10 years we have lost Georgia as an ally and gained another adversary in her person and an ally for the United States.

It is necessary to draw conclusions and make the right decisions, and not stupidly banter past failures.

At every opportunity they water us with slops and yell about Russia's aggression, and I have Georgian wine in any store in Ryazan in Borjomi.

Why are we now giving Georgia the opportunity to earn money in Russia ?!

They beat their drivers working in Yandex.Taxi, and we opened our sales market for them again. Our tourists come there in millions a year, each of them will leave thousands of dollars - billions in the economy of Georgia.

And what are they to us? Maybe they buy Russian cars or planes? No. So why are we feeding them to our detriment?

Probably so that this time Georgia is more thoroughly prepared for an attack on South Ossetia and Abkhazia.

Or maybe someone is hoping that in this way we will buy Georgians by opening our market to them ?!

The experience with Ukraine shows that we will not buy no, but we are strengthening Georgia as an enemy. They are buying more and more weapons, including modern air defense and anti-tank weapons such as Jevilin and a bunch of everything else. And their tankers are already being driven in western tanks.

The fact that Georgia will once again attack Abkhazia and Ossetia or take part in an attack on Russia jointly with the United States is not a question, it is a fact, the only question is when.

[Babay Atasovich]

Listen .... I am a Russian muzzle that is stuck in Asia, a former flyer, no longer suitable for mobilization. IF THERE IS SOMETHING FROM THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION, I am the first to apply even to the infantry as a private! !! Believe me, all "ulcers" and trolls from the USSR-homeland will do the same!

You know. .., my youngest friend from 08/08 has a trophy hanging on the wall of the "super NATO army" .. which it was for him that the special forces represented. And the whole ambush broke down in front of the motorized riflemen! And what can be a conversation for me ??!

[knn54]

Vladimir, based on the Chinese 6x6 Dong-Feng truck.
It looks a lot like the Ukrainian "Shrek".
After 08.08.08 they decided to replace the Turkish "Cobra", which showed itself not from the best side.

[den3080]

I remember when I was young, we drank in a company.
And one Georgian, already barely knitting a bast, got up to say a toast:
Enough for the following: Mi mountains ... burn ours ...
And then he collapsed back into the chair and fell asleep

Quote from Uncle Lee

on the basis of the Kolkhida truck!

An old saying from my uncle: "The chauffeur is not afraid of either the wolf or the lynx, he is only afraid of Colchis - Kutaisi." My uncle told me that they had a floor collapsed. Probably keeping this in mind, they weld 3 layers of armor on the bottom.

[Ros 56]

Even if they use the hippo, it won't help them.

[Ruslan Sulima]

Against the background of this news, the previous one looks interesting, about performances on taming mishiko.
Here are two countries, both are eager to join NATO. But one has put this type on the wanted list, and the second is hiding. Yes, and in the second, not everything is so smooth, then they caress, giving high positions, then they drive over the roofs, then they attract again ...
Storms, damn it.

Quote: Ruslan Sulima

There is also GeorgiaLub on the site!

[Ruslan Sulima]

Who loves whom, that's another question)
I mean that the two countries, which have the same strategic directions of development in the military, and not only units, have such different views on a murky personality ...

Three, Moldavia has been forgotten.

Well, Moldova was with him since, insofar as it was connected, and in these two he held serious positions)

New dances on a rake 08.08.08. The Georgians have completely lost their memory.

[Walking towards the light]

Heavy debts need to be worked off, look at the structure of Georgia's debt ... and this is how they remember everything.)

[Marachuh]

And it is right! It's easier by car than running away from the Russians on foot

[Wahmister 1970]

Ours also transferred something to the Yuri Olifirenko SDK, the loaded one went under the chewing gum

This armored vehicle, like its other modifications, is based on the Ford Super Duty pickup truck.

Gathered with comfort:

[Retvizan 8]

Ha - ha! The "agile spirit" immediately remembered the army.
In the Union they were a privileged republic and a privileged people, and now they have become a non-state and "Agile spirit" is their very definition! The political elite is looking for someone to fall under from the powers that be in this world, just like in Ukraine, and the only thing that they can offer the West is their Russophobia.

[rocket757]

"Agile Spirit".

So they are nimble guys ... they learned to scrape with shement.
I would say that it is possible to learn from them soyuznichki, but there the masters themselves "lubricate the heels"!

[Prisoner]

"Agile Spirit". Yes, the spirit must be agile. How quickly they reached Tbilisi in due time. Therefore, local armored vehicles are used. A-measures, taught by bitter experience, apparently do not risk offering their technique.

[Borisych]

Everything, as it should be in the state - an armored car, thieves in law, and about the agile spirit, Mikhail Yuryevich wrote everything in ancient times.

[JonnyT]

These look solid.
The guys told that 888 Georgian pepelatsy (Toli cobra Toli Didogi I do not remember) beat the SVD through and through. So the Georgians drew conclusions, strengthened

[Ugochaves]

The hedgehogs were crying, but they continued to eat cacti ... The "proud warriors" would have gone too far. Or do they have a national sport - rake jumping?

[Azimuth]

"Didgori" Georgians developed after operating experience OTOKAR Cobra, and later supplied those who had previously purchased a Turkish armored car.
Didgori has long been in service with the Georgians, did not understand what was the point of focusing on them, or these two modifications? Look at any Georgian parade, there are dozens of these armored vehicles.

[hohohol]

"Agile Spirit". Cool, I wonder whoever came up with this name served in the Soviet army? If yes, then this name is very suitable for Georgians.

[Evil 55]

This is the first time I see a medevac going first in a column ... a strange formation. "It protects the crew and troops from shrapnel and small arms" - judging by the text, from blows with the butt of small arms ..

[Sasha from Uralmash]

Yes, even though the Vimans, even though they use Chakramobili! There was once a proud people, but sold for a green piece of paper with giblets!
