Georgia Joins The NATO Grid

September 8, 2008: Although Georgia has not been able to join NATO, it
has been able to link it's air defense radars with NATOs air defense
system. NATO engineers and technicians recently devised ways to link the
signals from the Russian made radars used in Georgia, to the monitoring
systems used by the NATO air defense network. The signals from Georgia
are sent by satellite to Europe, where NATO air defense controllers can
see, in real time, what is going on over Georgia. This makes it more
difficult for the Russians to violate Georgian air space, then lie about it.

NATO nations are also sending Georgia new weapons, including portable
anti-aircraft missiles. The Russians are not happy about this, and are
using a loophole in the ceasefire agreement negotiated in France last
month, to raid Georgian bases and continue destroying equipment.
