Georgia is planning to replace its entire fleet of attack aircraft with drones, the country's chief of general staff, Brig. Gen. Vladimer Chachibaia said, EurasiaNet reported March 7. The country currently operates around a dozen Su-25 ground attack aircraft, but only one of the planes has been able to fly recently, Chachibaia said. Speaking frankly, he went on to downplay the role the Su-25s could play in the face of potential Russian aggression. Instead, Georgia will begin placing an emphasis on drones, which can serve multiple uses, Chachibaia added. Georgia has been struggling since its 2008 war with Russia to enhance its air and seashore defenses.
