Georgia to receive military equipment from US and Israel

"Georgia is taking important steps to strengthen air defense systems," Defense Minister Juansher Burchuladze said during his speech in parliament in the format of "minister's hour".

He noted that Israel is actively cooperating with Rafael, a major military-industrial company: "By the end of this year, we will have an air defense system of this company. It is also planned to purchase a modern self-propelled anti-aircraft missile system."

Burchuladze stressed that the United States also plans to supply a consignment of Javelin anti-tank missiles.
