New Su-30SM fighters in Kazakhstan

According to a report by the Kazakh TV channel Khabar 24 aired on October 8, 2020, the Air Defense Forces of Kazakhstan received additional Russian-made Su-30SM fighters. The report on the exercises at the 604th Aviation Base of the Air Defense Forces (SVO) of Kazakhstan in Taldy-Kurgan, among other things, showed the Su-30SM fighters that were part of this base and had not previously been shown publicly with tail numbers "14" and "17 ". The new Su-30SM fighter (tail number "17 red") from the 604th aviation base of the Kazakhstan Air Defense Forces.

Apparently, this means that the 604th base received four new Su-30SM fighters with red side numbers, presumably from "14" to "17" - in addition to the 12 earlier delivered to Kazakhstan aircraft of this type, which have red side numbers from " 01 "through" 12 ". Thus, the NWO of Kazakhstan, apparently, now have 16 Su-30SM fighters, all of which are in service with the 604th air base. The date for the delivery of four additional Su-30SM fighters to Kazakhstan was not reported, but apparently this took place in the summer or early fall of 2020.

Recall that earlier Kazakhstan signed three contracts for the purchase of a total of 24 Su-30SM fighters produced by the Irkutsk Aviation Plant (IAZ) PJSC Irkut Corporation. Under the first contract, concluded in 2014, worth about 5 billion rubles, Kazakhstan received four Su-30SM fighters with red tail numbers from "01" to "04" (serial numbers, respectively, from 10MK5 1118 to 1120 and 1201), which arrived in Taldy-Kurgan in April 2015.

In December 2015, Kazakhstan signed a second contract for eight additional Su-30SM fighters, according to which the SVO of Kazakhstan received the first two aircraft (red side numbers "05" and "06", serial numbers 10MK5 1315 and 10MK5 1316) in December 2016, two more aircraft (red side numbers "07" and "08", serial numbers 10MK5 1507 and 10MK5 1508) - in December 2017 , and the remaining four Su-30SM fighters - in December 2018 (red side numbers "09", "10", "11" and "12", serial numbers from 10MK5 1603 to 10MK5 1606, respectively).

In August 2017, Russia and Kazakhstan signed a three-year framework contract for the supply of 12 more Su-30SM aircraft, under which a firm contract was signed in May 2018 for the supply of eight fighters in 2019-2020. Apparently, the first four aircraft under this contract have now been received, with red side numbers, presumably from "14" to "17".

Earlier it was reported that the Ministry of Defense of Kazakhstan plans to purchase a total of 36 Su-30SM aircraft.

Experienced pilot-instructors help the cadets to master the aircraft.

- Flying on the L-39 aircraft is the first step in the development of aviation in general. For each cadet, an independent flight is a significant day. This means that in the future he will be able to get admission to the next stages for simple, complex aerobatics, en-route flights, in the clouds, at low altitude, for combat use against ground and air targets, - said the deputy commander of the aviation training center, Lieutenant Colonel Maksat Buratayev ...

Turkish armoured vehicle being tested in Kazakhstan has sunk

Was it supposed to swim?

Yes! Supposed to be Turkey's answer to Kurganets-25. But it seems people who board such vehicles will have to swim.

Most things that float rely on not taking on water to remain buoyant... it looks like flat water but carelessly driving in at the wrong angle allowing a large amount of water to come over the bow and into the vehicle can often cost you your buoyancy margin and lead to you sinking like a rock.

Sometimes rear doors are not secured properly when you enter the water and the water comes flooding in and you really get no chance to do anything about it.

Hopefully there were no casualties except pride.

And happens often enough to consider that a problem in the USArmy.

Crystal Meth is a hell of a drug.

Western sanctions will negatively affect the operation of Russian military equipment in Kazakhstan
https://asia-today.news/12092023/2175/

If they want to apply western sanctions on Russia then they are choosing the west over Russia and Russian equipment they use wont be tolerated any more... they will have to buy all western military equipment and get into an enormous debt because that stuff is expensive.

China and India have relations with the west without imposing western sanctions on Russia... if Kazakhstan is not stupid then they would try to do the same.

Otherwise their military will be the least of their problems.
