Israeli military experts aiding Georgia in war with Russia


"OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- Israeli military experts are actively aiding Georgian forces battling Russian-backed rebels in the Caucasus.

Israeli sources said former “IDF” officers were giving “military advice” to Georgian troops seeking to seize the southern breakaway autonomous of South Ossetia.

The sources added that “Georgia’s Israeli connections” was apparent in the “successes of the Georgian army” in repulsing Russian forces.

Georgia said its forces downed 10 Russian combat warplanes and destroyed more than 40 Russian tanks.

Many of the weapon systems used by the Georgian army against the Russians are Israeli-made and Israeli technicians were reportedly deployed to Tiblisi to train Georgians.

On Saturday, Russian diplomats in Israel formally protested Israeli military support to Georgia......

Israeli-made arms sold to Georgia include laser-guided anti-tank missiles, military drones as well as infra-red night-vision equipment."
