On January 12, the Georgian Ministry of Defense announced that Poland signed a contract for the purchase of the Piorun-M MANPADS from the Polish company MESKO SA.
According to this report, Georgia’s Deputy Minister of Defense and representatives from the Polish company MESKO S.A. engaged in significant discussions highlighting the strategic importance of integrating modern NATO-standard weaponry into Georgia’s defense system. Additionally, both parties deliberated on the future collaborative endeavors between the Georgian Ministry of Defense and MESKO S.A., setting the stage for an enhanced defense partnership.
The defense collaboration between the two countries has been marked by significant developments, such as Georgia’s acquisition, reflecting Georgia’s commitment to modernizing its military in line with NATO standards. This purchase serves to replace the existing stock of 100 GROM-2 units bought by Georgia from Poland in 2007.
