Well, only 2 days left to the parade itself so .....
Nope, one of the earliest equipment since 2001.
I wonder why Russian sources are totaly inacurate regarding Georgian military equipment. Looks like MIA is doing quite a good job ....
I can afford a joke, that’s it.
On serious note:
- Is Georgia mass producing antitank mines?
- Is Georgian infantry (on platoon level) trained to use antitank mines?
P.S. what the hell is that “Chapayevskaja tachanka” concept with 2 MG in the rear (0:48 parade trailer)?
Would it make sence to you if there was only one mine ......... ?
There are allways at least one, sometimes two engineer/pioneer platoon specialized on explosives, anti-tank warfare, mine-clearing etc as support in an infantry company. Rifle platoons are allways equipped with RPGs and some do also have explosives specialists.
Yea that Didgori-3(?) looks realy strange. It would have been better, if it had a mortar platform there instead.
some side info: For anyone who wonders where the Georgian army gets it's uniforms and material from:
Georgia currently produces it's own fabricates and makes whole uniform sets starting with the combat boots, to the cloth up to boonies. All Made in Georgia only.

Ok, some MOD info about controversal military formations. This will help to divide them as many though all were part of Special Forces.
http://mod.gov.ge/NewsFiles/ywlqwldhcpfnyfoeng.pdf
This is not 1st or 13th LIB. This is some kind of light infantry with special role, like peacekeeping and maritime offensives. You can simply say, it's the marine infantry.Separate Light Infantry Battalion Commander of the Battalion is LTC Jemal Todua. The Battalion is ready to carry out full
range of combat operations. The Battalion personnel can be also used as marine landing
force. The Battalion personnel participated in various peacekeeping operations in the Kosovo
region, Iraq and Afghanistan. For the present moment (since January 2012), one, the platoon
size unit is serving in Kabul, Afghanistan as part of the French military contingent.
This is the Rapid Response Battalion.Separate Mountain--Reconnaissance Battalion --Reconnaissance Battalion The Battalion Commander is LTC Mamuka Abashidze. The Battalion is ready to carry out a

counter-terrorism and non-conventional activities. Furthermore, the unit can execute
psychological, humanitarian and security operations.
Also, list of current military products of TAM

They are:

"Disposable Grenade Launcher" - well, most likely Single-Shot tubes like RPG-22
"Pistol" is probably a Georgian new pistol variant or a copy of Swiss Glock
"Three -Axle Armored Vehicle" is probably the new APC I have heared about, which is not based on any yet existing APC design ....
Yes and I also love the "names" ..... lol

I wonder why Georgia doesnt help to arm the Syrian opposition. They could earn some money and find a first market for their domestic production. In the same move they could harm their arch enemy Russia...
Maybe Georgia already does? Would only be logical from Georigias point of view IMO.
Well first of all that would only work for the small production line. But the main issue is that all this is primarly aimed to equip the GAF in first line and when finished, everything will be put on global market. Well it wouldn't harm the relations to Russia more than it is allready. Even if, I think Georgia atm would care most less what Russian politicians have to brabble. Basicaly that's a good idea and would be very profitable.
I'm serious. The opposition has to buy the weapons somewhere. The Saudis currently tunnel a lot of money towards the opposition so they can buy ammo and weaponry. The Russians sell weapons to Assad, so why shouldn't Georgia sell weapons to the FSA?
I bet the USA would green light that so they don't have to get their hands dirty.
