Bullitt got to it before I did. Specifically: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgian_Air_Force#Aircraft_inventory

 

Doesnt even look like they have the Ka-50 the game gives them.

 

no one has the ka-50 in all honesty...

some modules has been assigned to every country, which is a good thing IMHO, cause who want to make realistic scenery can simply not choose them to place in the scenery, while who want to build a FoF scenario with attack helos in both side could use some of them in both factions.

The thing is, helicopters are different from planes. An airplane by it's nature wants to fly, and if not interfered with too strongly by unusual events or by a deliberately incompetent pilot, it will fly. A helicopter does not want to fly. It is maintained in the air by a variety of forces in opposition to each other, and if there is any disturbance in this delicate balance the helicopter stops flying; immediately and disastrously.

Well Georgia has the SU-25 For a very simple reason.

Its built there.

 

The plant that built them is in Tbilisi wich is Georgias Capital.

The reason for this is quite interesting.

 

When Germany invaded russia in ww2 russia moved there factoris and industries to the east out of german reach.

 

This Caused two Aircraft factories to be moved to Tbilisi Georgia

(then soviet territory)

where they produced Lagg 3s early war and yak 3s later in the war.

 

After the war there simply was no reason to move the factories back as the workers and all equipment was now in Tbilisi and they where running smoothly.

 

They later produced the Yak-15 Series (Yak-15 Yak-17 Yak-23) and after that they made mig 15s Mig 17s and then mig-21 2 seaters.

Then in the 70s they started work on the Su-25 ground attack aircraft and produced it there.

They also massproduced both R-60 Missiles and later the R-73 missiles there in Tbilisi wich caused Georgia to have a significant number of weapons after they became independant.

 

So when the Soviet union broke apart and Georgia became independant they already had the factories there together with a number of Su 25s.

Either Completed aircraft partially completed aircraft or older aircraft there for overhauls or updates.

So it was only natural for Georgia to use what they had.

And since then they have also built more Su-25s for themselfs. (mostly uncompleted aircraft and upgrades).
