Georgia says it shot down Russian drone

TBILISI, Georgia - A Georgian Interior Ministry spokesman says Georgian forces have shot down a Russian drone near the breakaway province of South Ossetia.

Shota Utiashvili says the pilotless aicraft was shot down by Georgian police officers Monday near the village of Tsiteliubani near South Ossetia.

He said Tuesday the fragments of the plane would be shown to the media.

Russia's Defense Ministry refused to comment on Utiasvhili's statement.

The Georgian claim underlines tensions which remain high in Georgia after last month's war.

It follows Sunday's shooting in western Georgia near the breakaway province of Abkhazia where a Georgia police officer was killed and three others were wounded when Abkhazian fighters fired on a Georgian police checkpoint.

there are both drones that fly at high and low elevations. and its likely that police near the borders are well equipped since they still have to deal with attacks from ossetia and abkhazia. additionally they wouldnt need a SAM.

What I find most interesting is that President Sarkozy apparently lost his temper with President Medvedev and the Russians during recent negotiations. Reports describe him as "very angry."

Well Russia shouldn't be flying military drones into Georgia proper under the agreement. It's Georgia's right.

Well the Russians are keeping troops well past the accepted boarders breaking their last treaty STILL.  So it is pretty hard to negotiate with them when they aren't following the last treaty.
