Kazakhstan has approved an agreement with the Russian Federation on the site Balkhash

30
The lower house of Kazakhstan’s parliament ratified an agreement with Russia on the transfer and use of the Balkhash hub in the Russian missile attack warning system (SPRN), the newspaper reported Look.



“The Balkhash hub is used by the Russian Federation in the EWS system on the basis of an intergovernmental agreement of December 14 from 1994. The new document on the use of this object was signed by the parties in December 2014 of the year and replaces the previously existing agreements, ”the conclusion of the chamber on the bill states.

“The signing of the new agreement was dictated by the need to revise its individual provisions and to take into account the interests of the Republic of Kazakhstan on the use of this node,” said Defense Minister Okas Saparov at a meeting of the parliament.

The document includes several new conditions. “Firstly, (supposedly) a phased transition to the joint operation of the Balkhash hub and the organization of training for Kazakhstani military personnel. Secondly, by the end of 2016, the Russian side undertakes to implement measures for issuing information from the missile attack warning system and the space monitoring system to the state and military control points of the Kazakh side, ”said Saparov.

In addition, the new agreement has significantly reduced the size of the land used by the Russians within the Balkhash node.

“The agreement corresponds to the foreign policy course of friendship and mutual cooperation of our states. The Balkhash center plays an important role in ensuring the military security of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation, ”said the Minister, addressing the deputies before voting.

          Thanks to the Kazakh Brothers and Nazarbayev personally, we are doing one thing and the same dangers are facing our states. The only question worries what will happen when Nursultan Abishevich leaves for one reason or another? I really hope that he has prepared for himself an adequate and competent heir who will act like Nazarbayev in close cooperation with the Russian Federation.

      Yes, the Kazakhs don't need it. They do not and will not have nuclear weapons, missile defense, missile warning systems, or any ambitions to pursue an independent policy. Just another loophole is being created for the transfer of unique secret information to "partners". Do not stand in the square desert idle!

        I agree that Baikonur is not cheap for us. Therefore, initially the Vostochny cosmodrome was planned to be created as a replacement for the Kazakhstan site. The most important thing is the relationship between our countries. And I really do not want them to once repeat the fate of the Russian-Ukrainian.

          After the commissioning of Vostochny, the question of renting Baikonur will be very delicate! The personnel of the cosmodrome has already been reduced to a minimum. And when the start of the "Angara" is built (I don’t know of course how long this shaking studio will continue), then even more so Baikonur with a fully developed resource (for example, the 2nd site, from which "Unions" and "Progress" are now starting in 2010 was supposed to be written off (50 years), completely repaired to Krainyak, and this is practically impossible with the current attitude, i.e. it rests on the Soviet honest conscience of designers and builders). Let's see how Vostochny is built. It's a shame that the wait is long. in at least 50 years it will be possible to compare with the legendary Gagarin launch! I will not live.

    With all due respect to the Kazakhs, as allies: - they cannot use this site without Russia and our specialists. What is unpleasantly surprising in the position of the Kazakhs is an attempt to extract material benefit from this arrangement, as in the situation with Baikonur. Alas, Baikonur is very expensive for us. With the commissioning of the East, our dependence on Baikonur will decrease significantly. And we will give them information in any way. We are obligated to this by cooperation agreements within the framework of the CSTO and our own interests.

        Sever56, and you there too. I will satisfy your curiosity. Yours and our experts have calculated how much money is needed to maintain the city and the spaceport. The city is subsidized, there are no productions, everything is subordinate to the work of the cosmodrome. And how much do you think you need money to maintain the city and the spaceport? Then the figure of 115 million came out. And that was in the late 90s. Since then, the rental price has not changed. Moreover, the State Budget does not receive money, they go directly to the city, for its needs. So all this rent to us, Kazakhstanis, gives nothing. Moreover, initially you gave us military equipment. Well, for example, the Su-27, which have exhausted resources. Your pilots who drove them were ashamed of such a technique.

                Krasmash, but this is not necessary. Our alcohol consumption has dropped sharply compared to the 90s. Our winemakers were simply happy with the opening of the Russian market. The quality is excellent - in its juice, when the quality was brewed they improved. So I don't even know where Meehan went. Cognacs "Zhetysu", "Kazakhstani", "Batyr", etc. all the guests praise. Soon it will flow from our Texas (Chimkent) - large vineyards have been planted there. So I don’t know where and in what kind of "pit" I dug out a palenka.

            Valery, yes there is a separate status, your Administration is sitting there, your police and laws. I repeat, the money goes directly to Leninsk, for all expenses (maintenance of infrastructure and premises, etc.).
            The controversial issue is as follows. Nothing is invested in infrastructure, everything is dilapidated, nothing new is being built. Therefore (take our place, if the Russian Federation leaves Baikonur, then we get iron-concrete rubbish), we recently proposed (about 5 years ago) to run the farm together so that Kazakhstan could invest money in the city and the cosmodrome (because the legal there was no basis for this - the city and the cosmodrome under the jurisdiction of the Russian Federation). Have you heard anything about "Baiterek" (RK lost 200 million greens at Baikonur)?
            I’ll tell you even more (as if Meehan’s new heart attack didn’t grab, we live on rent, as he claims). We offered to cancel the lease, but "help with space" - at least so that the city does not turn into a ghost. For example, they offered money for Vostochny, money for Zenith (but here are your graters with ho.hlamy).
            I didn’t think it would "hurt" you, but believe me, we do not see anything materially. As they say, everything is brotherly in this matter. hi

              Dauren, thanks for the clarification. Not everything is so simple with Baikonur ... A lot of different information both from one side and the other. Some Kazakh politicians spoke, and the media, at one time, wrote that without the Kazakh Baikonur, the Russian space program is kirdyk. Naturally, this alerted Russia, and, moreover, the foreign policy vector of your state’s development towards China was outlined, there were talk that Kazakhstan could terminate the lease agreement with Russia and provide launch sites for both the states and China. Agree that a sovereign state cannot risk its strategic programs. Accordingly, - it was decided to build the East and transfer there the bulk of the launches. No offense. It's my opinion. hi

                Valery is not for that. These are all rumors. There was not even a case of canceling the launch. All the politicians of Kazakhstan in Nur Otan (an analogue of the United Russia) are separate individuals. The entire parliament is Nur Otan. Except for a couple of places for "manual opposition" (man-made, if you like).
                Look at the lease terms of Baikonur, and more officers are needed. see arrangements. All people in stripes from space insist that it is impossible to leave Baikonur. Reasons: from the field to the infrastructure (BAM-2 is needed, otherwise the entire railway connection will stop). Another thing is that you need to have a spare start. The eastern of the two sites will be (Angara and Soyuz), and how many at Baikonur !? That Proton, he will not be replaced for 15 years yet. It even got to the point that they still decided to revive Baiterek at Baikonur. We are ready to allocate money for this - the RF purse is not made of rubber - why not share the "burden". It is reasonable after all.
                Kazakhstan's task for Baikonur is to prevent the first cosmodrome on the planet from turning into a heap of rubbish and people and not running to look for a "better lot." We are not claiming the status of some kind of space power or any other transcendental plans. But since there is a cosmodrome on our territory, why should we lose such facilities - at least for general purposes. Here's a fact: only in 1998 we began to receive "rent". Prior to that, RK himself "dragged" the object, while Roskosmos beat itself in the chest. This is really so - it was hard for everyone at that time and the RK went to meet and did not demand anything. Try not to get money for gas transit from Kh.Ohly - that's what I mean. So Kazakhstan's approach to Baikonur was only friendly and fraternal.
                Here Mikhan writes that Baikonur is being pulled away in pieces of iron - and who is guarding someone whose object and whose jurisdiction !? Meehan needs to look in the mirror. It's silly to blame someone here.
                Yes, what grievances can be - we are only happy for the East. The startup market is only growing. He even wants to have his companions in Peru, there will be enough space for both cosmodromes - there is no doubt. And the launches are also related to the environment, so unload us. And I wanted the launch market not to be lost - I am only happy for the new developments and successes of the Russian Federation in this field.
                It is unlikely that Vostochny will pull the bulk - one launch is several days of BAM's downtime at the moment (hence the BAM-2 project, and if you recall how many BAM were built !?), this is a bunch of trains with components and chemistry. hi

Modern factories were built: metallurgical, oil refining, thermal power plants, woodworking, tractor and others.

        Now the old station is working. The Dniester, or its modernized version of the Dnieper - I do not remember exactly, it still works. There would be a new one to deploy. Voronezh is being commissioned in the Russian Federation (various modifications), and is being built quickly. hi

    "Balkhash knot" ... This is the first time I hear this name. We are talking about Priozersk, founded in 1956 by the military headed by General Dorokhov ...
    Here is what "WIKIpedia" says about him
    Priozersk is a closed city (ZATO) in the Karaganda (at one time Dzhezkazgan (Zhezkazgan)) region of Kazakhstan, the administrative center of the Sary-Shagan training ground. It is located in the Betpak-Dala desert (in the Hungry Steppe) on the Korzhintubek peninsula of Lake Balkhash, 10 km southeast of the Sary-Shagan railway station of the Mointa-Shu railway, built in 1956. 15 km west of the city is the military flounder "Flounder".
    The distance from the city of Priozersk to the regional center of Karaganda is 546 kilometers, to the capital of Kazakhstan Astana - 736 kilometers. In the vicinity of Priozersk there is another closed city - Balkhash-9.
    The city of Priozersk was founded in 1956, its population was the military and civilian personnel of the 10th research test site of missile defense systems (ABM) Sary-Shagan. The main selection criteria for the site were, as in the creation of the missile sites Kapustin Yar and NIIP-5 (Baikonur), the presence of sparsely populated plain treeless terrain, a large number of cloudless days, and the absence of valuable farmland. Marshal Nedelin recalled: This is a very harsh desert region, uninhabited, unsuitable even for grazing flocks. Stony barren and waterless desert. But the main housing estate of the missile defense site can be tied to Lake Balkhash. It has fresh, albeit harsh, water, and the town will be blissful if this word can be applied to the desert.
    Thanks to tests conducted on the basis of this testing ground in the late 1950s and 1970s, the USSR was able to create effective interceptor missiles for the missile defense system. Thus, parity in the arms race with the United States was achieved and the threat of a nuclear war between the two superpowers ceased to be an urgent problem in world politics.
    According to the agreements reached after the collapse of the USSR, some of the facilities of the test site were leased by the Russian Federation - Russia for a period of 50 years and continue to be used to improve the armament and development of new weapons systems for missile defense and air defense.

    In 1993, about 19 people lived in the city and there were:
    289 residential buildings, with a total of 7 apartments;
    12 hotels and hostels with a total number of beds 1 932;
    11 kindergartens for 2 places;
    four high schools for 4 students;
    5 freestanding and 11 built-in stores;
    5 restaurants and canteens;
    two cinemas and a gardo;
    palace of pioneers and schoolchildren;
    TV studio and telecentre.
    Now from myself ...
    Before the collapse of the union, the city was beautiful, clean and green. In addition to everything, it is a military city with a special access control. At that time there were almost no "indigenous" people in it. Much has been destroyed during the post-Soviet period ... Currently, the authorities of Kazakhstan are planning to revive the city as a republican resort. Sanatorium complexes are already being built on the banks of the Balkhash. Apparently, they need this agreement, including for this ...

When the gas wars "happened" - who said they would continue to blackmail - "basta, we need to build to the East"? Since then, RK has built 2 gas pipelines and one oil pipeline (which was given for Russian oil - "Rosneft") in the PRC.

      probably you need a military presence in the very center of Kazakhstan. There probably is a runway for a quick build-up of forces and means in which case, under the cover of a lease for this military facility. From Priozersk it is perfectly possible to block the railway and the road connecting the south and north of Kazakhstan. In general, a convenient place in all respects, except for the needs of early warning of missile launches.

      You need to build all such facilities on the territory of the Russian Federation, after the departure of the National Academy of Sciences, there will not be a sharp change, but the government will be more nationally oriented, so to speak, and it is possible that all military facilities not belonging to the army of Kazakhstan will be asked to leave with things.

    There is, of course, a risk that the situation will change dramatically (as in Georgia or Ukraine), because certain moods in Kazakh society are heating up for this. Including all kinds of American funds are active. But here we must work, create our own funds, and strengthen centuries-old ties.
