Georgia’s war with Russia is a David and Goliath battle that, military experts say, the Black Sea state has no chance of winning.

The Georgians are outnumbered and outgunned in every department. Russia has about 697,000 troops, while Georgia has only 19,500 full-time regulars.

And with Russia’s 1,200 combat aircraft confronting Georgia’s seven aging support planes, and 6,000 tanks against 100 aging machines, there is no contest.

There is news however that the Russian pilots are so ill trained they are just dumping bombs, turning around and getting out of the war zone as fast as possible.
