At the CSTO summit in Moscow, Vladimir Putin said that equipping the collective forces with modern weapons is progressing systematically. For Kyrgyzstan this means that we continue to receive equipment and weapons within the organization.
"We are talking, among other things, about their aviation component, as well as the formation of mobile air defense units during joint military operations," Putin said.
Moreover, apparently there are fewer recipients of this assistance. Armenia has not paid membership dues for a long time, and has now been officially stripped of its voting rights in the CSTO. Of course, this is more of a formal and diplomatic step.
After all, in fact, Yerevan has not been in the organization for a long time. But now it is registered legally.
Kyrgyz President Sadir Jafarov announced the republic's willingness to host joint CSTO events in 2027, led by Tajikistan. Therefore, on our part, this may be a request for a more active role in the organization.
As a result, 19 documents were signed, including regulations for the development of CSTO aviation forces. This is the same plan that was discussed late last year, when Putin proposed launching a large-scale program to equip CSTO forces with Russian weapons that have been proven effective in combat conditions.
