This appears mostly symbolic, alas! Georgia nestles between the Black and Caspian seas, a long way from Afghanistan. We'd still need flyover permission from Turkmenistan, Iran, Azerbaijan, Armenia . . . Anyway you try to fly it, you're several countries away
Turkey--->Azerbaijan--->Georgia--->Turkmenistan-->Uzbekhistan.
I believe all we need is Azerbaijan on board. No need to fly through Armenia or Iran. I believe Armenia is somewhat hostile.
I don't completely understand this need for fly over permission. I think you just fly over and light up anything that tries to stop you.
Turkey reportedly has F-16s in Azerbaijan. Deployed there a few weeks ago as a show of force against Iran.
