To strengthen the defense capabilities of Georgia’s Armed Forces, and improve anti-amor capacities, the Government is working on procuring an additional supply of Javelin man-portable anti-tank missiles. In 2021, the Department of State made a decision on a possible foreign military sale of 30 million USDs" worth of additional Javelin missiles to Georgia.

The Defense Ministry-in order to carry out this transaction of national and public importance expeditiously-will employ simplified procurement to acquire new Javelin man-portable anti-tank systems under the relevant agreement between the Governments of the two countries.

Given the priorities of the Defense Ministry, it has been decided that the financing to this end, amounting to 26,246,866 USD, will be covered with the amount allocated by the US and, in line with the agreement between the Governments of the United States and Georgia, with sums transferred from Georgia’s state budget.
