Georgian Defense Minister Irakli Garibashvili visited the Marneuli Air Base, where he inspected the new aerial systems and attended demonstration flights.

A U.S. unmanned aerial vehicle (the Alpha 800), one of the models purchased by the Ministry, has recently been in the center of controversy after the Spanish manufacturer (Alpha Unmanned Systems) complained about it being gifted by Israeli officials to Russian PM Dmitry Medvedev in November 2016. Spanish side claimed this amounted to the transfer of sensitive technologies, Civil.ge reports.
