A 500,000 person military would be 11% of the total population of Georgia. Their economy could not support such a large military. 
Their GDP is only US$20 Billion. |
That doesnt stop from training everyone, its the doctrine and trained command that counts the most. Assistance in giving them surplus material would be good though.
They can afford to arm everyone with basic individual material. The bulk of troops should be these local troops of territorial defence, they give the attrition element that is used to hamper and channel the enemy andvances. They are trained to work even behind enemy lines cutting its logistics.
The mobile best armed elements operate in the area of the whole country, and are to block and destroy the enemy in chosen locations. You can inflict massive casualties to the enemy with this system to the point it raises stresshold to start the conflict. |
While the enemy has an airforce and an artillery that could flatten any city there is in Georgia, multiple times. Is that what you are asking for?
Come to your senses, HT. You allow your emotions carrying you away and hijacking your fantasy.
Russian military, if challenged, is not known for it's subtleties, they don'T mind not being as concerned about collateral damage as some western forces are. If they do not have a scalpel to do a job, they use a morning star. It is absurd to expect a dwarf like Georgia learning to become able to seriously compete with a giant like Russia. |
That the system we have here and i have have have no doubt it works, air defences are of priority of course. Russia isnt as powerful as you think if nukes arent counted.
