Kazakhstan sold Soviet-made aircraft to the United States through offshore companies

Kazakhstan sold 81 Soviet-made military aircraft to the United States. Among the aircraft transferred under offshore schemes are the MiG-27, MiG-29 and Su-24. It is reported that technique has expired and cannot be used for its intended purpose.

It cannot be ruled out that the aircraft will subsequently be transferred to Ukraine. Specialists from the Armed Forces of Ukraine can disassemble it, using parts on aircraft available to the Air Force. Also, the hulls of obsolete aircraft can be used as decoys at airfields.



Thus, the West is buying up Soviet military equipment all over the world in any condition to transfer it to Ukraine. At the same time, Astana continues to be drawn into the sphere of Western influence in Central Asia in an attempt to tear away from Russia one of the most important military and strategic allies in the post-Soviet space.

In this regard, visits to Kazakhstan have become more frequent politicians from countries unfriendly to the Russian Federation.

Thus, on April 24, the head of the British diplomatic department, David Cameron, visited Astana. During the visit, agreements were concluded in the areas of trade, education, environment and mineral supplies. Cameron mentioned that Kazakhstan is surrounded by difficult neighbors - Russia, China, Afghanistan and Iran. In this regard, it is important for London to have a presence in this difficult region.
