This thread is dedicated to images of Georgian Civil war, including war in Abkhazia, South Ossetia and short fought Tbilisi war.
you might know what first two conflicts were about, while Tbilisi war is a short mini civil war which happened in 1991, between Russian backed State Council and Mkhedrioni and Nationalist government of Zviad Gamsaxurdia, eventually Russian backed rebels won.
Here are some pictures from Tbilisi War.

Some of them look like WW2 Soldiers by their gear
Georgian forced were heavily under equiped, you would be lucky if you got gear such as helmet or vest, most Georgians went into fight with non combat clothing and a simple bad to carry their ammo
On other side Abkhazs were far better equiped and trained than Georgians, they mostly had fancy gear such as armor, vest, pouches, helmets and they also commonly had those green thing around their head i dunno what its called

Well, very typical for 90s conflicts, not just in Georgia and also not just in that particular region.

Whatever was considered regular army or 'professionals' back then was a negligably small force. Maybe 5000 men who were somewhat professionaly trained by Russian troops and Soviet-Georgian veterans, but mostly internal forces, and somewhat decently equipped meant that half of them were relatively uniformely equipped, the other half not so much.

The vast majority was really badly trained ( or not at all ) like below subpar ad hoc militia and their 'equipment' was insulting even for the standarts of those days.
