Varustust oli rohkem kui Balti riikidesGeorgian military expenditures grew dramatically from 2004 to 2008. SIPRI data, using constant U.S. dollars (2016) places it at $74 million in 2003, before Saakashvili’s arrival, to a peak of $923 million in 2007, and $876 million in 2008. The share of GDP spent on defense went from 1.1 percent in 2003 to 9.2 percent in 2007. Georgia imported a host of weaponry from Israel, Turkey, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, and Ukraine, as well as small arms and enabling technologies from various other countries. U.S. financial assistance, focused on counter-terrorism and stability operations, also expanded once Saakashvili came to power.
Iisraeli Gruusiast ei saanud.Georgia was no great military power, but for a tiny nation it was well-armed, far beyond anything currently fielded by the Baltic states
The perpetual dream of such states is to become the Israel of their region
