There's a military parade in Georgia on May 26 (tomorrow) for their independence day. They are promising many never before seen surprises.

Rehearsal of their parade:

Georgian home made infantry fighting vehicle "Lazika":

What is the point of this? Almost 1 in 5 people are unemployed in Georgia, and the gov't is concentrating on renovating its military which, no matter how much Saakashvilli spends, will be no match against Russia. They should be spending on industry and stimulating job growth!

Although Armenia faces an unemployment problem too, fixing it is not nearly as easy as for Georgia.

Saka is just a puppet. He's following american/jooish orders. their plan is to slow down the russians as much as they can next time, until NATO decides to intervene to save BTC.

For Russia to destroy the pipeline, it would have to cross all of Georgia (including the capital), which is not something they will be able to justify. If/when BTC is attacked, it will be by Armenia/NKR.

Producing the Lazika, Didgori etc. creates jobs for them in the military industrial field. What is questionable is the military value of these domestic productions. I question Georgia's ability to mass produce these. And even if they can, it would probably be cheaper to buy Russian IFVs and the such from Ukraine and simply upgrade them. Anyway, it is not like the Russians can't obliterate these new toys. This is mostly Misha trying to save face after the humiliation his army suffered in 2008. They want the morale of the country to rise.
