Georgian officials signed an agreement on September 11, in Tbilisi, with representatives from the defense concern Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, a limited liability company of the Israeli Ministry of Defense. Specific details of the deal were not released, however. Georgian Air Force and Army have acquired early version of the Spyder SAM mounted aboard Czech TATRA trucks. It may be assumed that the current order comprises the advanced radar/BVR version Spyder.
