"First, Georgia acquired a 9К37М1 Buk-M1 (SA-11) battalion of low- to high-altitude self-propelled SAM systems composed of three batteries (each battery includes two self-propelled launcher mounts and one self-propelled loader-launcher) from Ukraine in 2007. These were delivered together with 48 9М38М1 surface-to-air missiles.
Georgia noted this transfer in its official report for 2007 to the UN Register of Conventional Arms. Other than Russia and Ukraine, only Finland, Cyprus, and Egypt possess Buk systems in several different versions. The Russian army is currently acquiring the latest version, the Buk-M2 (SA-17), and a large export contract of Buk-M2E to Syria is in the pipeline. According to subsequent internet reports from Ukraine, the Buk-M1 systems were delivered by sea to Georgia on June 7, 2007. In July 16, 2008, photos of Georgian Buk-M1 systems used during tactical training in Western Georgia dating from August 2007 appeared on the Internet. According to a Ukrainian source, on June 12, 2008, another battery of Buk-M1 systems was delivered to Georgia."

Abkhaz authorities claimed that Buk air defense system was used to shoot down four Georgian drones at the beginning of May 2008.
[55]
Analysts stipulated that Georgian Buk missile systems were responsible for downing four Russian aircraft—three
Sukhoi Su-25s close air support aircraft and a
Tupolev Tu-22M strategic bomber—in the 2008 South Ossetia war.
[56][57] U.S. officials have said Georgia's SA-11 Buk-1M was certainly the cause of the Tu-22M's loss and contributed to the losses of the three Su-25s.
[58] According to some analysts, the loss of four aircraft is surprising and a heavy toll for Russia given the small size of Georgia's military.
[59][60] Some have also pointed out, that Russian
electronic counter-measures systems were apparently unable to jam and suppress enemy SAMs in the conflict
[61] and that Russia was, surprisingly, unable to come up with effective countermeasures against missile systems it had designed.
[57]
Georgia bought these missile systems from Ukraine which had an inquiry to identify if the purchase was illegal.
