Photos: Georgian Losses in the War
During the five-day conflict, the Georgian army has lost dozens of MBTs, APCs, trucks, self-propelled artillery and other vehicles. Georgia also lost most of its Navy and Air Force. Majority of Georgian air defense assets were destroyed. Most of the equipment lost by Georgia was not not destroyed but rather abandoned by the Georgian army during its speedy retreat.

I suppose one can expect the Georgians to abandon their vehicles. Georgia didn’t make (and almost definitely) didn’t pay for its weapons. Their imminent destruction become a given as the Russian counter-attack progressed.
The US experienced much the same thing when invading Iraq. Nothing is more vulnerable than a good tank operated by a fifth rate enemy – so the crew gets out of the hatch and runs away – to fight another day – perhaps in a different way.

Venik,
Pictures speak a thousand words! Many thanks for posting them.
Question. Since many are bringing Georgia war in connection with Iran, while some are denying there is a smoking gun, what do you make of this?
Any chance that Croatian S-300 PMU1 that it received from Ukraine, preparing for its Operation “Storm” in 1995 may have ended up in Iran (according to Jerusalem Post, “Website: Croatia has sold S300 to Iran”
http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1220802297507&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FPrinter ). Considering Croatia has been one of the most servile US lapdogs, probably the second best following Georgia I find it hard to believe, unless this is some elaborate scheme?
I thought Croatian S-300 was dispatched to the US so they can study the system extensively? There were even some reports to that effect back in the 90-ies, probably by you too? Maybe they know how to suppress it and want Iranians to believe they’ve got something, so that they grow bold and opt for confrontation? Or maybe it is just a plain disinformation? An interesting topic that you might like to comment on when you find time?

Despite all the money Saakashvili spent on his army, his soldiers ran at the first rumor of approaching Russian tanks. Pathetic and very un-Georgian-like to run from a fight.
