As part of the multinational NATO exercises Agile Spirit 2025, Georgian and American military equipment was transferred to the Vaziani base near Tbilisi from the town of Senaki in the west of the country. This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Defense of Georgia, according to UNN.

The technical convoy included American high-mobility multipurpose armored vehicles, as well as Georgian-made armored vehicles – Didgori and Cobra.
The American equipment was previously delivered by ferry from Constanta, Romania, to the port of Poti, after which it was handed over to the 2nd Infantry Brigade, stationed in Senaki.
