BAE Inc in the US, a subsidy of BAE Systems Ltd, will supply anti-tank weapons to the Georgian army. The weapons that will be supplied is Bill 2 ATGW, the NLAW light anti-tank weapon and the anti-tank artilly shells, Bonus and Excalibur. The anti tank weapons are to delivered to the Georgian army during the 4th quarter 2008. The commander of the Georgian Land Forces, LTC Alexander Osepaishvili, says that "the new anti tank weapons will significantly increase the capabilities of the Georgian army. The new weapons are for self defence only and are not to be regarded as offensive". An obstacle has been that the weapons are developed and produced in Sweden by BAE Systems AB Bofors and Saab Systems AB, but by supplying the anti tank weapons through BAE Inc in the US, the Swedish government approves to the sales.

I think that the Excalibur and Bonus in conjunction with the Israeli supplied UAVs will be an extremely lethal weapon system.

Just a couple of vacuum bombs to drop and all of thsoe georgians will drop their weapons, including anti-tank ones, and rush home.

Georgians are brave gyus to talk, when it comes to serious fight they just drop weapons and run.

With these weapons, the muscovites doesn´t stand a chance. The muscovites doesn´t even have something similar. The Georgians will be able to take out muscovie armour from a distanve of more than 30 km. Without armour, the muscovites are outnumbered. And we all know that the muscovite sissys fight bad...

It has been 300 years since Sweden was a significant power thanks to Peter the Great and you are still so angry, dont be so bitter. In 1765 Russia, Prussia and Denmark were actively discussing the partition of Sweden, good thing they could not agree on it, then you would really be angry now.

This year Denmark mourned the 350th anniversery of the loss of "East Deanmark"... Prussia/Germany - ask a German what "Swedish cirtains" are... it´s jail bars... At Poltava, we attacked a muscovite contongent of 49 000 with an own army of 17 000 men, and we lost. At Narva, a few years earlier, a Swedish army of 8000 men crushed a muscovite contingent of 35000... Finland finished off 1 million muscoviyes with 26 662 soldiers in own caualties. You are big mouthed but muscovy never wins when being less or equal in numbers. There is no, have never been and will never be any "bravery" in the muscovite army. Only an idiot can bragg over defeating the Georgian army. When it comes to weapons, then Sweden is in a class of it's own. Vest in the world in:
* anti tank technology http://www.youtube.com/watch... http://www.youtube.com/watch...
* MICV http://www.youtube.com/watch... http://www.youtube.com/watch...
* Conventional submarines http://www.youtube.com/watch...
Artilley shells http://www.youtube.com/watch... http://www.youtube.com/watch...

World class in:
Corvettes http://www.youtube.com/watch...
Fighter aircraft http://www.youtube.com/watch...
Missile technology http://www.youtube.com/watch... http://www.youtube.com/watch... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MBDA_Meteor
Radar technology http://www.youtube.com/watch... http://www.youtube.com/watch... http://www.youtube.com/watch...
Artillery technology http://www.youtube.com/watch... http://www.youtube.com/watch...

We have an arsenal that is really impressive... In Europe, Sweden dominates the MICV market with the CV90 - countries that operates CV90 - Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, Switzerland...

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!! We have weapons you muscovites never want to experience... but, wvy not? Come on, sissys!!!

Ah, Swedish_Viking.

Be a man, admit obvious facts.
Any weapon is useless peace of metall in the hand of a monkey.
Read reports from Gori where brave georgian army just left a lot of expensive modern weapons without even trying to protect their city.

Georgians lost all the air force, air defence and navy, all significant military stores.
Basically they sent the 1bln americans spent on their weapons down the toliet.
So i don't think there's a weapon in the world that can help them.

This forces were supplied with this weapons by Americans, they were trained by hundreds of American instructors during last 5 years. And what result they achieved? Georgia army with 30000 people was completely destroyed by 10000 Russian army in 5 days. There was huge amount of weapons that Russian forces simply taken away after Georgian forces run away and left it. Yesterday and today all the work of Russian forces was the evacuating of dozens of tanks, artillery systems, and more, more, more... So many weapons and they simply left it and run.

There was only poor civilians in Georgian city of Gori, all the troops left it, all the administration left it too. City's outskirts full of left artillery systems. Georgian city civilians asked Russian forces to help them and give them some food, because Georgia simply forget about this city and it's needs. And Russian forces had given them food...

That's so funny to read that after only one week. Now part of this weapons are destroyed, and other part are evacuating by Russian troops. Our soldiers doing loader's work now, instead of fighting. LOL

Maybe? But the idiot questioned Swedens ability and as you saw - not many armies in this world have the type of arms Sweden has. So forget about the bull shit that we haven´t been in war for centuries, we know how to develop weapons - no one questions that and we of course know how to use them. Also, it might be that we sometimes loose against a numeriacally superior adversary but never have Swedish troops been accused of being cowards.

They didn´t have this weapons - if they had, thing would have been very different. Sweden have these weapons - we made them.

Those russian and ossetian troops were robbing and killing. A witness described like a group of russian soldiers stopped a car, took all their valuables and then stole the car.

Perhaps they should employ the exploding Swedish/Albanian_Viking. Tie some bombs around yourself and take on a Russian tank.
Make sure the news media is there so we can all watch.

Is there a reason why foreign press is not allowed into russia controlled areas? Why are cameras taken away from reporters by russian/ossetian troops?
