According to Civil Georgia website, the Government of Georgia said it is working to purchase an additional supply of FGM-148 Javelin man-portable anti-tank missiles from the United States, following the August 2021 decision of the U.S. Department of State to approve a possible Foreign Military Sale to Tbilisi.
The Ministry of Defense of Georgia will address simplified procurement worth USD 26,246,866 million, covered with the amount allocated by the U.S. and, in line with the U.S.-Georgia agreement, with sums transferred from the Georgian state budget. Civil Georgia recalls that the U.S. Embassy in Tbilisi reported in August 2021 that the Georgian Government had requested to buy 82 FGM-148 Javelin Missiles and 46 Javelin Command Launch Units (CLU), as well as Enhanced Producibility Basic Skills Trainers; Missile Simulation Rounds, Security Assistance Management Directorate Technical Assistance, Tactical Aviation and Ground Munitions Project Office Technical Assistance, other associated equipment and services, and other related elements of logistical and program support.
The U.S. first approved Georgia to purchase 410 Javelin missiles and 72 Javelin command launch units in November 2017 for an estimated cost of USD 75 million. The sophisticated weaponry arrived in Georgia in January 2018.
