Forbes: Georgian missiles to be ready to 'bloody' Russian air force
The Republic of Georgia's deal with Israeli firm Rafael to upgrade the country's air-defense systems testifies to Tbilisi's plans to restore the country's defense system, according to military expert David Axe.
He noted that the air-defense system of the Georgian army inherited from the former Soviet Union was outdated. In the case of the hypothetical military conflict with Russia, Russia's aerospace forces would be superior, RIA Novosti reports, citing Forbes.
The expert believes that after updating the air-defense systems as part of the contract with Israel, the Georgian army could 'bloody' the Russian air force.
NEWS.ru reported earlier that Georgian PM's Special Representative in Relations with Russia Zurab Abashidze said Tbilisi was interested in restoring air communication with Russia. He reminded that the flights were halted on Russia's initiative.
