Russian military in Kazakhstan armed with AK-12 assault rifles

9

The collective forces of the Collective Security Treaty Organization have completed their deployment in Kazakhstan. This was announced by the commander of the CSTO peacekeepers, the commander of the airborne forces of the Russian army, Colonel-General Andrei Serdyukov.


One of the last aircraft that arrived in Kazakhstan from January 6 to 9 was the Il-76 VTA RF, which landed at the Baikonur airfield. Thus, the Russian military took under protection a strategically important facility.




It is noteworthy that, unlike the personnel of the CSTO allies' contingents, Russian officers are armed with new 12 AK-2020 assault rifles, as evidenced by a video published by the Russian Ministry of Defense.


Against this background, official Washington demanded that Nur-Sultan explain the participation of the military from the CSTO countries in putting things in order in Kazakhstan. This statement was made by the head of the State Department Anthony Blinken.

We have real questions about why they were forced to turn to this organization, which is dominated by Russia. We need clarification on this

- quoted the diplomat by the CNN TV channel.

      The rationale for entering different contingents is rather flimsy:
      the external enemy did not attack, there seemed to be no threat to territorial integrity. It turns out that Russia, Belarus helped the Kazakhs to kill each other.

        Preparation of unrest, to put it mildly, from abroad, coordination also from abroad, why not an external enemy?

      In general, it’s a pig's business for them who and where entered. Pancake plugs in each barrel. It would be better to keep track of their genders, who how and where with whom.

      Help who knows. The article says that Russian officers are armed with AK-12 assault rifles. The question is - are all Russian peacekeepers officers? If not all, what kind of machine guns do the soldiers have? If the soldiers are different, then why the inconsistency?

        ak-74m is difficult to replace because there are a great many of it in warehouses, so ordinary military personnel are content with the AK-74, and already special units such as the Airborne Forces or the same peacekeepers receive fresh samples of weapons

        In this text, "officers" is a mistake by the author. Most likely, they copied and pasted from some foreign text after machine translation and, without thinking, pasted it in. It is possible that in the original they were "contractors", since there are no conscripts in the MS.
