THE GEORGIAN ARMY HAS NOT RE-ARMED
ქართული ჯარი არ გადაიარაღებულა
¶3. © Russian claims that Georgia has more military
capability now than in August 2008,or that it has been
steadily re-arming its forces, are false. During the August
2008 conflict, Georgia lost extensive capabilities, including
30 percent of its armored vehicles, 40 percent of
U.S.-produced AR-15 rifles, and at least 60 percent of its
air defense capability. These have not been replaced. We
are aware of only two deliveries of lethal military equipment
since the war: Ejder armored personnel carriers from a
Turkish firm, based on a pre-war contract; and 16 armored
HMMWVs for the Special Forces Brigade under a program begun
in 2007. The latter were purchased using Coalition Support
Funds, the case was processed before the August war, and the
vehicles would be used in such coalition operations as those
in Afghanistan. The U.S. and other NATO partners have moved
cautiously since the war. Bilateral military-to-military
events between NATO partners and Georgia have been reduced,
Qevents between NATO partners and Georgia have been reduced,
suspended, even terminated. The U.S. in particular has yet
to renew a capacity-building program begun months ago, and we
have not executed a single kinetic event since August,
despite Georgian desires for more tactical training. The
NATO PfP Lancer/Longbow exercises, publicly used by Russia
against the Alliance and Georgia, were planned more than a
year in advance with full Russian knowledge and possibility
for participation.
რეზუმე: რუსეთის პრეტენზიები იმის თაობაზე, რომ აგვისტოს ომის შემდეგ მიმდინარეობს ქართული ჯარის ინტენსიური გადაიარაღება - არ შეესაბამება სიმართლეს. ჩვენს ხელთ არსებული ინფორმაციით მოხდა მხოლოდ ორი სახეობის "ლეტალური" (?) აღჭურვილობის შეძენა: Ejder-ის და HMMWV-ის. რაც შეეხება ტაქტიკურ წვრთნებს, მიუხედავათ ქართველების დიდი სურვილისა, არცერთი ქმედითი ნაბიჯი არ გადაგვიდგამს ამ მხრივო....
