Georgia is today commemorating a group of heroes of the Russia-Georgia war who heroically sacrificed their lives in a ‘David and Goliath’ type battle that took place in Shindisi Village in central Georgia.
The Shindisi Battle took place on August 11, 2008.
On this day 21-member detachment of Georgian soldiers came face-to-face with Russian soldiers in Shindisi Village. The Russians greatly outnumbered the Georgian side and advised the Georgians to surrender, but they refused.
The uneven battle continued for 45 minutes.
Despite being greatly outnumbered, Georgia inflicted significant damage on their enemy. All Georgian soldiers died in fight.
