"That's right...", Zurab Samkharadze replied with a smile, "although we're not directly related I must say. It is a relatively common surname in the central region".
"You're right", he continued, addressing the second question first, "the selling of most our products, including the one you inquiried, requires the approval of the national government. Regarding the Mparveli-2, I must clarify that is, in their last prototype, close but not fully indigenous. It was precisely Shavrinveli 27, which could be considered an improved version of Mparveli-2, our first fully indigenous unmanned aerial vehicle".
The conversation continue in which Director Samkharadze gave some details about other products developed by Parebi Systems, as well as some details about recent successful tests that both Mparveli-2 and Shavrinveli 27 had participated in cooperation with Mktvartvelo's armed forces. The, they were invited to visit another area of the headquarters. They took an elevator and entered in a large room, more properly a hangar than a room, where several prototype and models could be seen.
"While Mr. Samkharadze was technically correct to say that Shavrinveli 27 was designed as an improved and native prototype over the Mparveli-2", Nino Mjavanadze said as they walked toward one of the oldest versions of Mparveli-2, "it must be said that the project soon was modify to become a new model on its own, in view of satisfy new ends and different capabilities than the Mparveli-2".
"They are thought to serve different military needs, one could say", Nino continued. "As a whole, however, I'd say that the Shavrinveli is better equiped to serve for a wide range of capacities for modern warfare, while the Mparveli-2 can still be highly precise against tanks and anti-aircraft units. In either case, the Shavrinveli can be equiped with the Mparveli-2 conventional armaments, while keeping their unique technology. Of course, one still obvious difference is that the Shavrinveli is more costly to produce, as it is obvious".
