Georgia’s Defense Minister Juansher Burtchuladze reported to parliament on May 13 that his country would start producing American M4 assault rifles and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in 2022. According to his statement, negotiations are underway with South African, Polish and Israeli companies on joint production of unmanned aerial vehicles, with the first drones produced early next year (EkhoKavkaza, May 13).
Shortly after the announcement, on May 19, the ministry of defense and an undisclosed Israeli company signed a memorandum on the joint production of M4 rifles. The Georgian military production enterprise Delta will manufacture the American weapons (MoD Facebook, May 19). Delta is the military research center under the ministry of defense, which used to produce light armaments for the Georgian-made “Didgori” armored personnel carriers (MoD.gov.ge, October 8, 2020).
