Sorry for the guys ...

Looks like they are planning a "Turkmen spring", an explosion in Central Asia

[Beibit]

The US and the EU are advancing from the west and south ... and the goal is we all know them ...

[vlad0]

It seems that the outfit simply did not have time to warn about the passage of a caravan of drugs. So they came under the distribution.
This is practiced in Tajikistan: when a caravan comes from Afghanistan, the outfits of Tajik border guards are removed from this section. But if you didn’t have time, or if the alert chain did not work, then - a short clash with the elimination of random witnesses.
In the east, after the collapse of the USSR and the withdrawal of our border guards, much has changed .....

[Strashila]

It started ... Turkmenistan was initially a weak link, relying on hydrocarbons and I was not globally friends with anyone ... I think Russia will help them ... after all, we also sell their gas in Europe.

Probing the soil bastards. Reconnaissance in battle. You can’t let it go like that on brakes, you need intelligence on the next planned attacks and they will set up ambushes, cut such groups to the root at the approaches to the border. When the 5-6 groups lose their uselessness in full - the evil heads may become cold.
IMHO, Turkmenistan urgently needs to deliver a couple of shock UAVs, to patrol the border, they found the bearded - a bomb on their heads that they would forget to approach the border for several kilometers.

[a52333]

In recent years, Turkmenistan has pursued an extremely closed policy, such as my hut from the edge, recent events show that it does not work out.

[mojohed2012]

Really. This is nothing more than reconnaissance in battle. It seems that with the supply of US-NATO intelligence, tk. the country - the target of the attack has no alliances, and Russia is not their guardian. Soon we are waiting for massive attacks on countries bordering Afghanistan. Kyrgyzstan is thoughtful and now we are strengthening them.
Such skirmishes are the first swallows. If the Taliban make peace with Pakistan, then the Pakistanis, as in the 80's, will become their reliable rear and supply base, behind which the United States and NATO will be. If the Russians do not climb into Afghanistan, then Afghanistan will climb to them, and Tajik-Uzbek-Turkmen-Kyrgyz, with their police armies, will be crushed by the mass if we do not help. The time has come for weapons, the time when new generations have forgotten the horrors of past wars, the time of muscle games and the time when we learn about such terrible things that previously were considered simply impossible. The world hegemon will do anything to remain not a loser.

[UzRus]

and Tajiks, Uzbeks, Turkmen, Kyrgyz, with their police armies will crush the mass if we do not help “So you are not helping, we can cope without you here.” Taliban in late 1990 - early 2000 were already masters in Afghanistan and nothing - we stood.

So we see your standing.

It is when? Then, when in Kyrgyzstan only one helicopter remained from the Soviet army, the rest were taken away for scrap metal and two hundred militants came on foot, but the then President Akayev, who promised to build an "Asian Switzerland"? Or when Russia gave old Soviet tanks to pandsher militants from warehouses, and even numbers did not paint over the times of the USSR?

[UzRus]

It is when? - This is when the Taliban shot the Buddha statue. This is when Karimov asked your Yeltsin to help (and sell, not give) some weapons and ammunition, but we did not wait and China and the USA helped us. And here Kyrgyzstan is not clear at all. It is about Uzbekistan.

It is secondary who, maybe Russia.
Consider the most budget option, take the “Outpost” UAV (they are assembled on the Kazan helicopter), it has 100 kg payload and 15-18h fly. We reduce on-board equipment to navigation, a thermal imager and a laser rangefinder, hang 2 high-explosive mortar mines with an electric plow of 20 kg on it and add bombing ballistics to the on-board software (with an aim bar on the operator’s screen).
The main thing here is not the damage done, but the psychological component, having received an armful of corpses several times, the bearded will develop a reflex, like Pavlov’s dog — he came closer to the border than necessary — a mine fell on his head, even the most frostbitten and fanatical ones demoralize it. The main methodology is that they would believe in the inevitable consequences.

Good advice and the apparatus would also work like that, but there’s something in no hurry to adopt practical experience and equip our border guards with such equipment.
It’s better to swallow money for a bad ... Olympics than for normal border guards.
It's a shame for the state, by golly.
As there were races ... and remained nothing has changed.
No matter how it has come to an end at the most inopportune moment, all this.

I agree with your doubts. The Taliban haven’t done it yet with the Americans, and they’ve got to the bottom of the Tajiks, risking, besides the Americans, drawing more Russians on their heads And they know the Russians - and are not particularly eager to meet them again in battle, despite their heroic rhetoric. Who in their right mind would do that? Either a complete one based on Dostoevsky's novel, or - a provocation, NATO special forces disguised as Taliban carried out a special operation. All this is muddy ... And sad. And most importantly, the defender always loses. The best defense is offense. Russia and its leader Putin will have to rethink their tactics from passive defense to active action. In the hard-to-reach places of the Rocky Mountains and the Cordilleras, militant groups should appear "for the secession of Texas and California," "for freedom of religion in the United States," and so on. The militants have an incomprehensible accent, similar to the accent of Tsarnaev, terrible for the Americans. Something like this. Then they will leave alone. And so - injected in Syria. They fought back - they hit from the side of Ukraine. Fought back - went messy from Afghanistan. I think - if Russia does not catch up a little - and it will lose. If he doesn’t decide on a normal defense - which is an attack.

- Well, we have "Kara-Major", the commander of the "Muslim battalion" not only famous in Afghanistan, has already begun to advise the corresponding Kazakhstani unit being created.
So everything is going according to plan. If it’s the Taliban, it won’t seem to them a little, if the NATO special forces are provocative, it’s worse for them.

Evaluate the humor of the situation: the USA, trying to fan a fire in the post-Soviet space with its own hands, is pushing the countries of the former USSR back, if not towards unification, then at least to cooperation.
GDP is unlikely to miss such a chance.

Well, whoever you dug - Clinton, Nuland - are so gray NON-PROFESSIONALS that in general your observation of the humor of the situation is correct and this result is natural. If there is another such situation with the "Taliban", but already on the Uzbek border - and Uzbekistan will enter the CU, the CSTO, and the SCO, and without the right to exit back. It will also enter the CES Respect, good observation

The situation is ripe when the worse, the better. And the more they rock the boat, the less effort is needed to find an external enemy and, through this, unite Russia and the countries of the former Soviet Union.
If only the Kremlin did not play in big politics and did not forget that rear workers also need to pay attention.

The Americans began to destabilize Central Asia, as if "we warned that if we leave, the Taliban will trample from all cracks!" Looks like it was hard for them from the Ukrainian defloration that they did not even wait for the complete withdrawal of their troops from Afghanistan. Now, under the guise of the Taliban, all the rabble that accumulated in the Awgan will trample to the north

[Tatarus]

Well, the crazy dance of the pre-war time began. Around the world now will light up

[waisson]

again, Americans are trying to divert our attention from Ukraine by creating provocations in Asia

[Hey]

As a statement of fact. Test of strength.

[parus2nik]

Second front? Already in Asia? ..

[wanderer_032]

Probably something serious was dragged across the border once they started such an operation, but more likely they ensured someone’s passage and distracted attention.
Against the background of Ukraine, little attention is paid to information in Asia, but in vain, it is there that you need to look first and foremost, it is from there that the most unwanted guests can get to Russia.
I think so because there is the longest and most vulnerable section of our border in terms of protection and we need to look very closely at it.

[Humpty]

If the Basmachi’s forays into Turkmenistan continue, this could damage the multilateral ties of the Turkmenbashi / 2 with the Taliban and even destroy the long-standing Turkmen-Taliban friendship.

[tnk1969]

The Taliban are unlikely. After all, even before the American invasion of Afghanistan and when the Taliban was in power there, it was Turkmenistan, the only country from all post-Soviet countries, that conducted direct negotiations with them. And they even planned to build a gas pipeline from Turkmenistan to Pakistan through Afghanistan. So the Taliban do not attack the Turkmen. We need to figure it out ...

[Humpty]

I’m talking about the same, a little strange. The Turkmens were friends with the Taliban and suddenly on you.

the Taliban you fell from an oak tree you have an enemy of the United States you have to fight with him. They forgot to say that they are not Americans, well, they mixed up a little.

That's right. The offensive against Russia is coming from all sides. Perhaps this is not the only raid. They will still be. You can wait everywhere. Under the cover of what is happening in Ukraine, a consistent probe is beginning to the reaction of Russia. The West and the USA are trying, in agony, to pull our forces around theater, Turkmenistan, although far away, but the danger is great. The mattresses and their satellites already see that the soil is leaving under them. With Ukraine, it’s not as they calculated. But it’s not for nothing that all the latest weapons came and goes to our troops, namely stationed in the southwest.

This is not a kick. This is a mosquito bite. He will not create any additional nervousness, since a sluggish intercourse has always been and continues to go in these directions.

An extra reason for talking about the entry of Turkmenistan into the Customs Union and, as a result, the strengthening of borders with Afghanistan.

Everything is fine.

Something strange is happening, the Uyghurs in China 29 people were cut at the station, then the Taliban decided to become an empire, they attacked the Turkmens, Ukraine is on fire, Syria is on fire, seven countries of the Eight are boycotting us In my opinion, we are on the verge of a grandiose rascal.

I think it’s time for the Russian Federation to assemble a united republic; the war really began 6 more warships of the United States Navy in the Black Sea; I think Russia will not turn on the back ready to defend any republic of the former USSR because I consider myself a Soviet person I was raised by the Soviet people I don’t know who brought you up.

Well, the attack went on the last island of stability in the post-Soviet Wed. Of Asia. With all the shortcomings of the model of the Turkmen regime, in that region it is the most justified. there’s just not enough MSD for example of the 201st base and airbase as in Kant. But I think that there they were preparing for such a scenario. judging by the publications I have seen, the army there is not weak by the standards of the region. we will see...

Strange, before, the Turkmens agreed with the Taliban and the Afghans in general and lived peacefully. Something happened...

)) The Taliban are unlikely. They didn’t have any problems with the Turkmens. But the Islamic movement of Uzbekistan is a very real military force and they can do this to transfer hostilities to the territory of SA. Uzbekistan doesn’t really enter. There’s a big river on the border. force must be left. Tajikistan and Turkmenistan remain. here and all the fuss.

It doesn’t roll about the Americans. In order to harm something, this is the most unpromising sector. Turkmenistan and Russia have no border)). Why fly from Moscow to Vladivostok through Kaliningrad?
