The war in South Ossetia.

Auto-translated
However, it’s not worth exaggerating the capabilities of domestic technology. The T-72 is a tank from the 70s, a reliable and powerful machine, no doubt, but any main battle tank of developed European countries, for example, one made in the 90s, will surpass it in tactical and technical characteristics. The T-90 is a completely different story, but Georgia doesn’t have many of those :)

Georgia did indeed purchase NATO equipment. Also, Georgian soldiers were trained by American instructors, and very recently, the USA and Georgia held joint combat exercises, which, again, indirectly confirms the involvement of the USA in this problem and that it was a carefully planned operation.
O God of Earth and Altar,
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
Take away our pride.


G.K. Chesterton: English Hymnal
