Currently, the air defense system of Kazakhstan is included in the unified air defense system of the CIS.
According to TSAMTO, the creation of a bilateral regional air defense system of Russia and Kazakhstan means that Astana may in the future purchase new modern air defense systems in the Russian Federation.

The adoption of these complexes, along with the solution of more complex tasks of intercepting air targets, will reduce the cost of training and operation, since IWOs have experience in operating the previously set C-300 SAMs.
The S-400 air defense system is designed to engage jamming aircraft, radar detection and control aircraft, reconnaissance aircraft, strategic and tactical aircraft aviation, tactical, operational-tactical ballistic missiles, medium-range ballistic missiles, hypersonic targets and other modern and promising means of air attack.
To ensure military air defense, it is possible to acquire the Buk-М2Е medium-range air defense missile system, as well as the Tor-М2Э short-range air defense missile system.
