Caught in the supply of weapons for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Kazakhstan was forced to reconsider its plans

43

On August 27, the government of Kazakhstan announced the suspension until the end of August 2023 of the export of arms and military products. Moscow forced Nur-Sultan to reconsider its plans.

Some time ago, Russia's ally in the CSTO became interested in multi-vector policy and began selling military equipment to NATO countries. machinery, weapons and ammunition, the final recipient of which was the Ukrainian army. Now it seems to be in the past, but the sediment remains. Therefore, it is worth recalling some of the most striking moments.



The Czechs decided to purchase 25 automatic anti-aircraft guns from the Kazakhs. The UK purchased various ammunition (shells and rockets) through one of the firms in Jordan. The Americans decided to stock up on Su-27 fighters and aircraft engines for them through a Bulgarian intermediary. All this and much more was supposed to end up in Ukraine in time to counteract the RF Armed Forces.

As for combat aircraft, the Air Defense Forces of the Republic of Kazakhstan (SVO RK) have: 23 Su-30SM units, 18 MiG-31B/BM/BSM/DZ units, 24 Su-27/BM2/UB/UBM2 units, 14 MiG-29/UB, 14 Su-25/SM/UB/UBM units, 12 MiG-27 units, 2 MiG-23UB units, 17 Aero L-39 Albatros units (Czechoslovakia). There are also 20 units of Mi-24V helicopters. With the exception of the Russian Su-30SM, all other aircraft are Soviet-built and can be sold anywhere, anytime.

The above activity has caused logical discontent in Moscow. On August 19, Russian President Vladimir Putin met in Sochi with his counterpart from Kazakhstan, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev. There is practically no doubt that the Russian leader took an interest in this piquant topic. Whether the Kazakh side will keep its word will become clear in the foreseeable future.

    Kazakhstan is a member state of the CSTO (Collective Security Treaty Organization). I looked on the Internet the composition of the CSTO, laughter and tears ...... Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Russia. The Russian Federation and Belarus are the only allied countries in the CSTO.

      I’m just wondering when Russia sold weapons to Azerbaijan against Armenia, then everyone said the money didn’t smell, and now they remembered that a member of the CSTO and an ally of Kazakhstan ?? And then Russia was not an ally, or Armenia is not that ally? It is a pity that for Putin only money is allies.

    Nothing personal just business. Russia hastened to help Kazakhstan during the well-known events. It was worth waiting for manyoho to dictate favorable proposals to the Russian Federation. But Russia strictly adheres to its obligations, they came in, saved Kasym-Zhomarty's ass, and here is a clearly grown "gratitude" covered by a multi-vector approach.

        They already looked at the Maidan with popcorn and got what they got. And if they intervened in 2014, maybe now the SVO would not be needed.

      If Kasym had not been saved at that time, now they would have received a "second kraina" right under the belly of Russia and would have dictated to them a "stump to the village" so that they "warriors of the great Genghis Khan" would seize their ancestral territories to Moscow itself, and the Kazakhs are still those Natsiks , everyone remembers their language patrols, where they forced people under threat of physical violence to speak Kazakh. When we helped Kasim, we helped ourselves...

      Do you want me to share? You support the legitimate president, you crush the booze of football fans and a handful of ultras and ... peace, quiet and God's grace. Option two, for yesterday. You meet with all barrels an offensive "on the positions of the republics" in an open field, propping them up with personnel units of the Russian Federation and putting everyone there in the field. No resonance about the invasion of the territory of an "independent" state and solid buns. Then a blow and a throwback to distances inaccessible for the shelling of the Republics.
      As a result of this war, the Russian Federation will not receive any pluses. The main enemy is behind a puddle and he is not within reach, and we will overstrain to re-educate. Late.

        That is why the Nazis avoid open fields, hide behind the civilians. In a difficult situation, there are no easy solutions. If we do not want to become bloody ghouls, then we have to work carefully and slowly. The population there, albeit brainwashed, is also Russian, with whom we will live after the completion of the SVO. The desire to take revenge on the villains and famously wave a saber is understandable, but we are not European barbarians, we cannot afford this, and I agree with the president on this.

          Did you read carefully? Not any senseless throws to Kyiv, with shouts - "guard, they will begin to attack the Republic now." At that moment, they would attack our positions in an open field, with a foreground, shot down, for 8 years, up to a centimeter, in a narrow area , could not. But now, following the results of all these denocifications, back and forth, they are really advancing and slaughtering the Russians who believed in liberation.

    The Kazakhs were always on their minds and, at an opportunity, sticking a knife in the back of a former friend is like peeing. Saving the current government, actually Nazarbayev's, in January 22, Russia shot itself in the foot. It was necessary to give an opportunity to overthrow the Tokayev regime, wait until Tokayev was removed by the masses and wait for free elections.

      Well, yes, you will wait for "free" elections, and you will wait for the Nazis in power, who will tell you that their great-grandfathers roamed all the way to the Oka and historically these are their lands, and KZ, by the way, is the second supplier of uranium in the world, but stuffed with biolaboratories. "Svobodnye" elections in Ukraine did not teach you anything?

        What for the USSR, without a yoke around the neck in the form of "fraternal peoples" Russia will be much easier, but to correct the socio-political structure of Russia in the direction of socialism, this would be the very thing, here I agree. In the last year, publications about Putin's left turn began to appear, it is doubtful of course, but it means something, maybe his successor will lead Russia into socialism. Incidentally, the north of Europe has a form very similar to socialism.

    Kazakhstan has traditionally been in the sphere of influence of China, like all the Central Asian republics. And the fact that he began to shit under his feet, bowing to the impudent Saxons, is a very bad sign. But also our chance to return the Cossacks to our lot.

    This is the result of Putin's refusal to comply with the Constitution of the Russian Federation. He came up with the rules “we don’t leave our own”, “this is just business”, and he is trying to force the Russians to live by these rules. But the fact that, among those who are not abandoned, there are, as he himself claims, "scum", for example, G. GREF, he forgets about this. Putin VV, when will you start protecting the constitutional rights of the Russians, as required by the Constitution of the Russian Federation, as the guarantor of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, and not mislead the youth with your rules. Then the money will "smell", the scum will be removed from the administration of the Russian Federation, the Prosecutor General's Office will initiate criminal cases against those whom you do not "abandon", young people will be brought up on respect for the Constitution of the Russian Federation, and not on the rules.

    In what years did Russia supply weapons to Azerbaijan? At that time, Armenia was at war with Azerbaijan? And one more thing: Armenia itself did not annex Artsakh (Karabakh) to itself or did not recognize its independence from Azerbaijan. It is even from the side of Armenia - a part of Azerbaijan. What then can we talk about? Azerbaijan legally returns its lands back - that's how it works. And how did Armenia help Artsakh (Karabakh)? Maybe she brought her armed forces into his territory? Not! Only volunteers went there, of which there were not so many. Here is the natural result.
    Russia did not supply weapons to Azerbaijan during the conflict, as Kazakhstan decided to do during the NWO.

    What is "incompetence"? That they did not want to shed the blood of Ukrainians and did not appreciate their stubbornness? The south was occupied without a fight, but 100-150 thousand were not enough to control the Kyiv, Sumy and Chernihiv regions, together with the Donbass and the South of Ukraine.
    Do you think that it was necessary to bring in 500-800 thousand, bring in conscripts and deploy the mobilization of hundreds of thousands more reservists?

    Russia did not support Yanukovych, did not advocate for the Maidan to stop? It's just that Yanukovych's entire entourage has gone over to the side of the West in advance.
    Was it Russia that was supposed to "crush" football fans? How? Send 10000 riot police to Kyiv? Do not make me laugh! The snipers would gladly shoot them there, as they shot at Berkut. And they would burn with Molotov cocktails.
    Or how to meet "with all guns" at the border of demarcation, if on the other side a 120-strong group is concentrated in concreted positions that have been preparing for 8 years? Introduce 100 Russian troops into Donbass to be shot from three sides by Ukrainian artillery and MLRS with Tochki-U? How many Russian soldiers and civilians of Donbass would have died in this case? There is no "clean field" on the Ukrainian side, as Peski, Avdiivka, Bakhmut and other fortified areas have shown.
    What "then blow"? Until now, they have not yet reached the legal borders of the DPR! Do you want to lead the attacks on the fortified positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine? Then why aren't you still in the trenches?
    The task of the SVO is not only to stop the shelling of the people's republics, but also the complete denazification of Ukraine. Without this, the shelling of the territories controlled by the republics and Russia will not stop, and the West will continue to pump weapons into the Kyiv regime.
    And I am glad that people who are smarter than you are leading Russia.

    Who could have known in advance that the occupation of Kherson, Melitopol, Energodar would succeed, but not in Kyiv? If everything worked out, then tens of thousands of victims could have been avoided.
    To destroy the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, you need to know its location and the time when the leadership will be there. It is possible to destroy a building in Kyiv, but this will not achieve much. After all, the generals are hardly sitting there and waiting for the missiles to fall on them.
