Spanish firm Instalaza has sold a batch of its C-90 reusable anti-tank system to Georgia and last week completed the user training course at the Krtsanisi Training Camp (Tbilisi). The end of the course was attended by the Minister of Defense of the Caucasus country, Juansher Burchuladze, who tested the systems by firing two shots, one with inert ammunition and the other already with war ammunition. After the test, the minister assured that this acquisition “will greatly improve the defense capabilities of the Georgian Armed Forces.”
The Georgian Ministry of Defense has not made public the total number of systems delivered, but it has been stressed that the choice of the C-90 was a logical step for a country that is adapting to its upcoming NATO membership, committed at the Bucharest summit in 2008. In this sense, from the Ministry of Defense it was explained that anti-tank systems are highly appreciated by NATO countries, especially Spanish systems. In fact, the Ministry said that “Spain is one of the leading countries in the production of anti-tank weapons.”
