This wasn't what I imagined though.
BREAKING: Unconfirmed reports that Ankara has ordered 50 x SU-25 Close Air Support Jets from Georgia’s Tbilisi Aircraft Manufacturing group. The Georgian Su-25’s will be built to NATO standards using Turkish subsystems & precision strike weapons.
Turkey is looking for a low cost platform similar to the US A-10 Warthog. The Turkish Su-25 will use Turkish anti-tank missiles. They will be split between bases at Turkish Thrace & Eastern Turkey.
Is this Guy even reliable or does Georgia have Capacities to Produce that Jet.
TAI visit in Georgia's Plant on 22nd October.
Turkey, Georgia to cooperate in field of military aviation
apa.az
The Georgian authorities are counting on the development of military
aviation... Reportedly, for this, the stake is placed on "allies" from NATO, first of all - on "Turkey belonging to the region."
The Georgian Defense Ministry informs that it is discussing with its Turkish counterparts the issues of deepening cooperation in the military-technical sphere. First of all, we are talking about the development of military aviation. In particular, Georgia "continues to implement the transition to NATO standards, including NATO standards in terms of providing military equipment."
Negotiations are taking place in Georgia. The capital of this republic was visited by a Turkish delegation headed by the Director General of the Turkish Aerospace Company.
Representatives of the Turkish delegation visited the Tbilisi aircraft plant (today it is called "Tbilaviamsheni").
Previously, the enterprise was named "Plant No. 31". It was founded in Soviet times - in 1941. Over the years of its existence, the Tbilisi Aviation Plant has produced and repaired hundreds of aircraft and missiles. Among the manufactured products are MiG-15, MiG-17 fighters, Su-25 attack aircraft.
To date, this enterprise, which after privatization and re-privatization came under the control of the Georgian Ministry of Defense, has lost capacity for the production of airplanes and helicopters. In the best case, the aircraft is being repaired at the plant. For example, Mi-24 and UH-1 helicopters and Su-25 attack aircraft are being repaired.
Turkish delegation has met with Georgian Deputy Defense Minister Zurab Azarashvili and General Director of Tbilisi Aircraft Manufacturing (JSC Tbilaviamsheni) Mikheil Oghlishvili.
