The Ministry of Defense has decided to transfer Su-25 attack aircraft from the Russian military base Kant in Kyrgyzstan to Uzbekistan as part of a planned military exercise near the Afghan border. This was reported by the press service of the Central Military District.
Russia and Uzbekistan will hold a joint military exercise near the Afghan border. The training will take place at the Termez training ground in the Surkhandarya region, bordering Afghanistan, from July 30 to August 10, 2021. To cover the exercises from the air, as well as to provide assistance to the joint grouping of Russian-Uzbek troops, a link of Su-25 attack aircraft is being deployed from the Kant airbase in Kyrgyzstan.
As part of the exercise aviation will work out the search and destruction of camouflaged enemy bases, as well as a number of other tasks aimed at preserving the territorial integrity of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
Meanwhile, the military exercises conducted by Russia on the territory of Tajikistan, in which the tankers of the 201st Russian military base made a march to the border of Afghanistan, seriously alarmed the Taliban (the movement is banned in Russia as a terrorist movement). Representatives of the movement are seriously concerned about the possibility of Russia's intervention in the inter-Afghan conflict.

Meanwhile, Moscow has repeatedly stated that Russia does not intend to intervene in the Afghan conflict, and all actions are aimed only at protecting the borders of the allies.
