    They are probably talking about the Turkish made COBRAs. Case of mistaken identity.

    We have seen at least a couple of them captured by the S. Ossetians and being put to use in their own army.

    Further to calimero's post identifying the equipment in the first video. I could see in this second video a BTR-80, some D-30 guns as well as various small arms, RPGs, ammunition etc.

    I could not identify the mortars.
    I believe the machine gun was a Uytes.

    That's correct: in one of the footages, a Cobra was shown while the Russian officer presented it as "American BRDM (recce vehicle) Scorpion".

    The Georgians have some pretty good equipment... but, their tanks are lacking (I think they're using T-55s), and, they have no designated fighters, just ground attack and CAS aircraft.

    Those are some awesome pictures of the Russian Army!
