Russian jets targeted major oil pipeline-Georgia

TBILISI, Aug 9 (Reuters) - Russian fighter jets targeted the the major Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) oil pipeline which carries oil to the West from Asia but missed, Georgia's Economic Development Minister Ekaterina Sharashidze said on Saturday.

"This clearly shows that Russia has not just targeted Georgian economic outlets but international economic outlets in Georgia," she said at a news briefing.

There have been no independent verifications of Russian jets targeting the BTC pipeline.

They missed!, I don't know, maybe it's true, the rumor, that the Georgians were close to gaining air superiority in the skies above Georgia.? Could the Georgians be using NATO assets to target Russian planes? I wish I knew more.

Open call for any links to Georgian bloggers, and an open invitation for anyone in the war zone with anything to say...Even the Russians are invited!
