The first pancake or briefly about the military-industrial complex of Kazakhstan

Introduction

Dear readers "IN"! I dare to present to your judgment my first article. Without having deep knowledge of classification, types, standards, and even more so with the use of this kind of technology, I do not dare to prove which one is faster, stronger and higher. My article will contain a statement of facts collected from media reports, official press releases of companies and statements by various officials related to this topic and the military-industrial complex (hereinafter MIC) of the Republic of Kazakhstan as a whole. As stated above, I am not an expert, and not even a couch warrior. This article will not provide technical details of Paramount Group products. You can find all this in Alex Alexeev’s article “Armored vehicles from the Paramount Group company” from 10 in November 2014 on “BO”.

Plant for the production of armored wheeled vehicles

So from the last News You heard that on November 30, 2015, President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Nursultan Abishevich Nazarbayev visited (according to other sources “opened”) a plant for the production of armored wheeled vehicles sold by a joint venture of Kazakhstan Paramount Engineering LLP, licensed for these activities since November 13, 2015 . The main activity of the plant is the production, maintenance and repair of armored wheeled vehicles, armored personnel carriers:


Arlan 4x4 aka Marauder


Additional information is provided by the website of the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Kazakhstan (hereinafter referred to as the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Kazakhstan).


Infographics of a multipurpose maneuverable armored vehicle with protection against “Arlan” mines



Nomad 4x4 aka Maverick



Barys 6X6 aka Mbombe 6


The release of the listed armored vehicles will be possible in modifications. What is not reported. At the same time, Arlan’s hull provides the 3 STANAG protection level, and Barys’s hull provides 3 STANAG-level ballistic protection and 4a and 4b STANAG anti-mine protection.

A promising development direction announced the creation of the modern Barys armored personnel carrier with the wheel formula 8х8. The machine will have a high level of protection and firepower, mobility and high payload. Interestingly, on the official website of Paramaount Group there is no information about armored personnel carriers with the wheel formula 8х8 and, judging by the image that was placed in the shops of the plant at the time of opening, this platform will have a tower with a weapon system by analogy with the BMP-3. Of course, it would not be correct to make assumptions about the caliber and, accordingly, the capabilities of this system, looking at the image of a promising BTR. Let's wait for more details.

Official factory information: modern high-tech efficient equipment allows you to implement a full cycle of work such as laser cutting of sheet metal, welding armor plates, applying paintwork, assembly work, strict quality control. Technical equipment of the plant involves the solution of a wide range of tasks in the field of production of wheeled vehicles for military and civil purposes. All equipment manufactured at the plant will be manufactured on the basis of international standards, which will allow to sell products both within Kazakhstan and beyond.

According to the Director General of Kazakhstan Paramount Engineering, Yerbol Salimov the company plans to supply 50% of materials for vehicles from the countries of the Customs Union, and work is currently underway on cooperation with KamAZ on the unification of engines, bridges, and various electrical systems. Reached certain agreements.
The volume of investments in the construction of the plant amounted to 7. To 80 mln. Tenge, 150 jobs created, 55 engineers and technical specialists trained in Kazakhstan and abroad. According to the information posted on the e-licensing website of the Republic of Kazakhstan, as of December 2015, Kazakhstan Paramount Engineering attracted only one foreign worker.

If we talk about the markets, then, as mentioned above, the plant has a small share in the country's budget for the needs of the military industrial complex, the plant is focused on the possibility of supplying products abroad and this is confirmed by the signed memorandum with Jordan for the supply of 50 6х6 machines during the next year . The plant management reports that the main equipment supplied for the 2015-2016 year is Arlan 4х4. In general, the production capacity of the plant is 120 machines per year. According to the Tengrinews.kz portal, 50 percent of the plant is owned by foreigners, 50 percent is owned by Kazakhstan Engineering Company.

15 December 2015 of the Year of Defense of the Republic of Kazakhstan presented a video test, after viewing which the following things can be identified: a) sea trials were conducted in the warm period of the year; b) night firing was carried out 25 June 2015 both in a static position and on the move at distances to the target from 500 to 907 meters, while using weapons with a caliber 12,7 mm (most likely a heavy machine gun); c) judging the inscriptions in Turkish on the screen, the optoelectronic component of the combat module is most likely made by Kazakhstan Aselsan Engineering LLP. Why inscriptions in Turkish, and not in Russian or Kazakh language is worth guessing.

Unfortunately, I could not find information about the dates of the signing of the relevant documents with the Paramount Group on the establishment of the joint venture, perhaps the origins of this transaction can be attributed to the KADEX-2012 exhibition, which was held in Astana in 2012, at which NK Kazakhstan Engineering signed various contracts for 1,8 billion dollars.

As a summary of this section, you can highlight the following points:
Choosing a partner. Paramaount group is the largest private aerospace and defense company in Africa (South Africa). That is, this company is private and from South Africa, which can be conditionally taken as the company's independence from political decisions;
Deep integration.If the plant management has plans to supply 50% materials for equipment from other manufacturers, this means that Paramount Group as a partner really makes serious concessions and is ready for deep cooperation, which once again underlines the benefits of choosing a private company as a partner.

Of course, if there was an opportunity to get acquainted with the feasibility studies for choosing a partner, we could know more reliably why Paramount Group.

Ways of development of the military-industrial complex of the Republic of Kazakhstan

The readers of "VO", as well as the residents of Kazakhstan, do not always understand the logic of our Government regarding the development of the military-industrial complex. Yes, yes, it is, MIC. He is with us, some no, but there is. Perhaps the reader is not familiar with the prevailing realities of the post-Soviet period, when each state needs to build its life or the reader who understands the objectives of the military-industrial complex of the largest country in the world will have difficulty understanding the goals and ways of achieving them. The country's military-industrial complex with a population of 10 is smaller and a small budget.

So the words of the Ministry of Defense of Kazakhstan Imangali Tasmagambetov, which were voiced during an interview with the social and political newspaper Central Asia Monitor 30 of October 2015 and posted on the official website of the Ministry of Defense of Kazakhstan, give an idea of ​​the factors affecting the choice of the development strategy of the military-industrial complex:

The strategy of the MIC was developed on the basis of various factors, such as the presence of design bureaus, internal needs, wide possibilities of expert potential, etc. And if we talk about the results of this strategy, the creation in Kazakhstan of modern high-tech industries with the participation of foreign partners can be called "aerobatics" in terms of investment performance.

The picture of the development of the military-industrial complex is complemented by the words of political scientist Marat Shibutov, cited in the article “Are the Kazakh army armed with this or that?” Of the same Central Asia Monitor resource in July at 2015: For our military industrial complex the main goal is to manufacture at least the most common and most used types of ammunition, to carry out partial (non-capital) repair of certain types of military equipment, as well as to release certain types of equipment. For something more substantial, we simply do not have enough strength, even if we could save the entire Soviet potential of our military-industrial complex.

In relation to the procurement strategy: purchased weapons must be sufficiently widespread to change the supplier if necessary; military equipment must have sufficiently common spare parts so that it can be repaired in local conditions; the supplier of weapons and military equipment must be reliable enough to receive timely and high-quality service in the future. Of course, Marat is not a regular soldier and does not work for the MK of the RK and this allows him to be more free than the officials from the MI in his statements.

In principle, theses voiced by Marat are not a secret, and they all follow from:
• the legacy that we inherited after the collapse of the USSR;
• how and what we were able to save and not ruin completely;
• the state of the economy and the position of Kazakhstan on the world stage.

Let me add: according to my foreign colleagues (mostly engineering staff from Europe, working in the oil and gas sector), the leadership of our country compared to the leadership of the United Arab Emirates is more reasonable, trying to locate production in Kazakhstan of all that is possible and to increase local content in the output. This is a side view. In this plan of work, we don’t have a clear edge, and if everything were so easy, because corruption blooms with a double color.

As they say, man proposes, and God disposes. And in criminal cases that were started earlier under the Semser self-propelled howitzer and Aibat mortar modernization program, God arranged everything so that Deputy Minister of Defense Lieutenant-General Maermonov Kazhimurat was sentenced to 2013 for 11 years. The case involved other soldiers of the Republic of Kazakhstan and a citizen of Israel. And it all came down to the fact that each of the respondents "signed acts of receiving equipment, knowingly knowing about its malfunction." Read more about this history You can read the article "Aibat self-propelled mortar." International cooperation and corruption scandal "by author Ryabov Kirill on" IN ".

God also arranged the case for the Cobra combat wheeled vehicle, which, according to the commander of the 36 amphibious assault brigade, Major General Dzhumakeev Almaz, was supposed to have been produced in Kazakhstan from 2014 by a joint Kazakh-Turkish venture. But things are there. Whether there is a plant or not is difficult to answer. As if God did not turn everything so that someone else in this case is not planted. According to the scattered information, we can say that the Cobras are supplied to the Turkish assembly in the amount of 10 pieces per year. They are mainly equipped with Airborne troops. He himself witnessed the departure of the 2014 military unit of the Atyrau garrison on the Kobrakh and KamAZ in 41433 to the proving ground.

And as for helicopters, our military-industrial complex seems to be fine: there is a factory, orders, although small, also exist. Eurocopter Kazakhstan Engineering LLP, which owns a plant near Astana, carries out large-scale assembly, painting and assembly of EU-145 helicopters with special equipment, 1 pieces of 2014 were assembled for the Ministry of Emergency Situations and the Ministry of Defense of Kazakhstan on 20 January. Plans to release and EC-645 T2. It is difficult to report exact figures on the localization of production due to the lack of them in the public domain.

As a summary of this section, you can highlight the following points:
1. From the words of the Minister of Defense, a citizen of Kazakhstan understands at least something about the development strategy of the country's military-industrial complex. I have a question for you, readers, how would you build a country's strategy in similar conditions?
2. As in any country, we have enough of our corrupt officials. As well as the mistakes that were made at the very beginning of either another scam, or a worthwhile case.
3. Our country is small and everything is on the account of the President. Therefore, they can also imprison the Deputy Minister and the Prime Minister (Serik Akhmetov, they gave 10 years). In this regard, a very entertaining show is obtained when you watch the live broadcast of the meeting of the President and the Government. Although at such moments you can gloat, sitting on the couch in front of the screen.

What fate has been prepared for the products of the Kazakhstan Paramount Engineering company and the military-industrial complex of the country as a whole, time will tell.

      While it looks like a screwdriver assembly, I specially looked at the site of the Kustanai diesel engine plant, which was part of AvtoUral, so there is a screwdriver assembly Toyota. And so the plant would be useful to both AvtoUral and the Kazakhs for the production of transmissions of Kazakh armored vehicles.

        I liked Arlan. For such a fishing trip to Kushum on the last ice for a roach nishtyak, probably! good

        And then about 30 years ago we once sat on the "Pazik" for three days in the steppe in the mud, up the steps, and the Kazakh collective farmer stood at a distance on the K-700 and asked for 100 rubles to pull it out. We might have given it, if it were - from the whole bus, with 11 people, we collected a liter of vodka and 30 rubles. They wanted to take the tractor away - he ran away with the tractor ...

      For me, our x ... suffer from it, if only to snatch a piece from the state order. There, at least make a deal with the devil, not like with the Turks or Israel. They would really take all the best. And this marauder I think is really good, I watched a video on YouTube, an excellent small armored personnel carrier, but if in the steppe, our climate is more suitable for crawler vehicles.

            In bad weather, it is better to move on "virgin soil", the so-called primer can turn into a trap. Especially if there is a rut, trucks or tractors. First of all, everything becomes limp there.

                Nevertheless, I do not believe in the impassability of the wheels. That BTR-80 for any abyss will pass, and for this it was created. And new technologies in wheeled vehicles, in particular motor wheels, inspire hope in the feasibility of a full-fledged wheeled tank.

        As for the reservation: 3 stanag is protection against SVD, and if 12.7mm or 14.5mm, it works right through. The dimensions and carrying capacity of the chassis allow 4 stanag to be installed, probably there is no experience and technology. I think it’s a matter of time, they will deliver. Another big minus of all the equipment shown: very high altitude, and it is dangerous to land on the go, and the target is not bad. Regarding the filling: I think no worse than the competition (here it’s hard to surprise with something special). The minus for the fact that the equipment is not floating, in Kazakhstan, and if exported, they lose to competitors. The lack of side doors is annoying, I understand that this technique is not for fighting and collisions, but still, when ambushed, the ass is immediately cut off by dense fire.

        What is the fate of the products of Kazakhstan Paramount Engineering?

        I am sure that fate will be like everyone else's. Such as the French "Thales Kazakhstan Engineering", as the Israeli Samser, Niza and Aibat for which Lieutenant General Maermanov is still serving time or Kazakh satellites - out of 3 launched, 2 are lost.
        Although the author gave an example about the punishment of Serik Akhmetov, unfortunately he is not at the head of all corrupt schemes and he was not the one who voiced the head of state's ambitious "innovative development" schemes, divorced from reality, on which the country has neither the means, nor resources, nor technologies. ...

            Marseille, Kazakhstan without any problems receives the S-300P air defense system and modern fighters. And this is a much more technologically advanced weapon. Not so long ago, BMPTs were purchased from us, which are not yet in service in Russia itself. There would be a desire, and the module "Bakhcha" is freely offered for export. The same BMP-3 is in service in countries that are not the most friendly to Russia.

Regardless of what will stand on the base from the paramount, "Bakhcha" or something else from Russia or "local" production (West Kazakhstan Machine-Building Company JSC and Kazakhstan Aselsan Engineering LLP), it will still be one confirmation that the Paramount Group as a partner really makes serious concessions and is ready for deep cooperation or denial.

                  Guys, do not worry, all the weapons are Russian (we don’t have anything, therefore they write that 50% are from the countries of the CU). South African people are very flexible in this regard, they went to almost all the advanced conditions on our part.
                  The development of the military-industrial complex must begin with ammunition (the most consumable material - cartridges, shells), it takes time to drag them through an even not a small country, and even from another country. And there was such an opinion that they grab onto everything. They want to see the benefit - for example, the history of the shipyard in the Caspian Sea - the neighbors have everything, so building it only for their own needs may be simply unprofitable. It was not possible to save what was left of the Soviet military-industrial complex, for example, the production of "Cliffs", the armored vehicles repair plant had to be restored. I support beginnings with wheeled armored vehicles. Who does not know, Eurocopters are expensive for us. The Europeans all calculated that the cost of the finished product does not differ much from our production (it is unprofitable if it is shorter - you won’t make money normally). It is necessary to dwell on what is not in the Russian Federation, or not enough. What accessories. We started to produce optics, incl. night, in Astana - a good thing, the CSTO lacks this. Analogues will simply be more expensive than Russian equipment (they will be crushed in large quantities). Therefore, it is necessary (if anything to improve) to cooperate with the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus. And to negotiate with them so as not to spray money in vain (still in the CSTO and the EAEU). Those South African cars, for example, do not have any special anglogs in the Russian Federation (6 * 6). hi

      Totally agree with you. Taking into account our mentality, it is clear that many have a stigma in the gun and do not need to do punitive operations like "You will answer for everything!" Here you need to approach it easier and wiser and say: From January 1, 2017, the guys will all undergo a polygraph, where one question will be asked: Since 2017, have you pointed out / wasted, concealed, cashed out something while in the service? Yes or no! The action will be called: We will now live in a new way! (C)

At times, time and people are reduced to get the result, and knowing that they are checking (especially if someone still has a jamb, no one has canceled the human factor) they will not look in the direction of the forest.

      You are just a naive person once you think everything is so simple!
      In the West, they steal no less, or even more, it is simply furnished with very competent concepts. For example, presentation deductions from which people drink, drive to striptease bars, carry customers. There are bonuses for lobbying, concluding contracts, payments for options for additional services. I I'm not talking about advertising costs concluded in place with military contracts and a number of studies on the relationship of society to certain types of weapons.

    Kazakhstan has nothing for itself a small country.
    Kazakhstan takes the 9th place among the countries of the world in terms of the territory’s territory (2 million 724,9 thousand km²), and the second place among the CIS countries (after Russia).

    Recently, many businessmen from the ministries of defense of the CIS countries are trying to buy military equipment over the hill, forgetting that they are buying not a beautiful toy, but equipment that MUST be able to fight. Often satisfied when buying imported equipment or a LICENSE for production, COMMERCERS from the army do not understand (or maybe understand) that after the purchase they will go on the so-called RELATED costs, this is the purchase of documentation for equipment, training of personnel, ammunition for weapons systems, CWR, GIZA, Fuels and lubricants, equipment for servicing this equipment, etc. Sometimes the financial costs of maintaining and servicing this equipment exceed several times. And the main value of this military equipment for the army should be given not by beautiful brochures and commercials, but by those military personnel who will fight on it.

      About the area is understandable. That's just the population is not enough. Merchants, merchants. The question in such cases to the procurement generals.
      Of the total number of vehicles, the cobra and the Humvee (land rovers and SOP equipment do not count) make up a small fraction. Everything else is Soviet (air defense, artillery, infantry fighting vehicles, tanks, armored personnel carriers, aircraft) or Russian-Kazakh production. From conditionally new Aibat on the basis of mtlb, Semser on the basis of KamAZ, naiza also KamAZ. There are Chinese truck tractors. So in my opinion, there is still a balance. With respect.

In the matter of supplying the latest modern means (Arlans (not yet confirmed, but it’s understandable), Humveys, land rovers, cobras, c-295) have only one problem, all of which goes to the most combat-ready units, airmobile troops.

    Of course, it would be useful for Kazakhstan to pursue its independent policy in the field of military technology, within the framework of military orders and needs, but I would like to emphasize that we would like to solve the most important areas of the military-industrial complex in the cooperation of the leading engineers of our countries, because our allied relations are not limited only by the customs union.

      that the most important areas of the military-industrial complex would be solved in the cooperation of leading engineers of our countries I hope so. However, the creation of arlan production is not the most important issue. in this case, the support from the future subcontractors (KAMAZ engines, hodovka) will be more important. You'll laugh, but according to the information on 2012 it is possible that soon Kazakhstan will start producing its own gunpowder. This was agreed by the Main Directorate of Ammunition of the Armed Forces of Kazakhstan, Alma DK LLP and the Kazan State Powder Factory. In addition to the production of gunpowder, it is planned to produce powder charges for a 125-mm practical projectile on the basis of LLP "Alma DK" in the city of Arys... That is, there was no gunpowder factory. Also from the news, since 2012, negotiations are underway with the Lugansk Cartridge Plant for the acquisition of technologies and equipment. And that a cartridge plant will be built by 2016. I don’t know yet whose it is “Steel Manufacturing”, but the bullets will be 5,45x39; 7,62x54; 9x18; 9x19

Already now you can see 50% of the localization of production!

Maybe it’s private, they’ve added money, they built a good equipment and they don’t work for anyone, it works half way. Or another factory, it’s being built and then they think where to take the raw materials, then that in the region, the scrap metal was processed in two years. And the owner then put up for sale, it looks like he washed the grandmother and legalized it.
      So all the enterprises built according to the state program need to be checked. They built it, built it, mastered the money and abandoned it.

    And to produce all these "Marauders", "Mbome" on its basis. Well, and transfer government agencies to passenger "Donfeng". And for sales - "light" subsidized loan.

    Well done, the author is not a bad article ...! Although I criticize "a fan of waving a saber", I will not say anything here .. hi The author has specific questions and you won’t even answer right away ... (you need to think) ... Keep up the good work! good

    In my wishful thinking. Kazakh defense industry. This is that new joke. The debut is good, but there is a clear tendency for URA. Even in Russia, military-industrial complex is collected in parts after the collapse, with retained (at least partially) specialists. Sorry for the immodest question, but who will produce? Highly qualified Kazakhs? An acquaintance visited Uralsk four years ago, he said that the remaining Russians work mainly at the enterprises. And where is the Kazakh component in this project? 50 percent ownership?

      First of all. That's just not necessary here to broadcast nationalist garbage! I will not discuss the level of intelligence of various nations. Neither I do not work in the personnel department of the plant to have information about the national composition of the work teams.
      Secondly. Where is at least one word about the desires in the article? Did the plant open? Opened. Are there any orders? There is. Apparatus entered service? Not known Is there a cooperation? I believe that the fact of cooperation is not confirmed yet. Maybe in the spring on a cadex someone will be able to climb on the arlan and the hodovka engine to take a picture. Strategy MIC is? There is. Do they steal? Steal. Is planted? They plant. Everyone? We do not know. Cases MIC moving? Yes. Where? Not everyone understands. Who will work at the factory? Citizens of Kazakhstan.
      With respect.

    As I understood from the article, Kazakhstan has no opportunity to carry out major repairs of tanks and other available equipment. On the basis of such factories it would be possible to organize alteration and modernization of equipment, I understand that not everything is so simple, but the road will overpower the road.

    There is no production of ammunition and other ammunition, and no one is selling the line? In this case, it was necessary for diplomats-buyers to plow Lugansk and Donetsk, not in their position was to refuse interesting offers (however, as now). We need complete lines for the production of different types of small arms, ammunition and ammunition for tanks and artillery.

    Helicopters Eurocopter. what is the resource of their engines? What is the average raid per year? Besides the fact that in the 90s green collective Dutch tractors and fiats appeared on our collective farm - a term appeared in my head - the half-life of the tractors, every spring of the two were collected, the remains in scrap metal. In the case of an embargo, we will take leushki mi 8 from Russia.

    Why is the maximum opportunity to purchase equipment in Russia, as previously reported, at prices for the Russian army? I think the answer to this question in many spins in my head.

      In my opinion, the answer to the last question is obvious: do not put all your eggs in one basket. Probably trying to maintain a balance. There is also an economic aspect: any economist will tell you about the impact on the country's economy with the usual purchase of equipment and with the release of the same equipment in the country with the maximum possible localization of materials at the moment. And it so happens that Arlan becomes the "firstborn" just for ground forces. With respect.

        So then it is, but I do not remember the kiddies on this issue. Yes, and IMHO it was possible to promote the same KAMAZ at a joint venture with production on the spot. About the production of armor for BMok is also unclear, is it stupidly poured or is there any technology there? I do not think that in Temirtau there is the possibility of producing armor, and not just ingots of a certain shape.

        In my opinion, the production of BMok and the purchase of cartridges and shells in Russia are not eggs in different baskets, rather beautiful eggs in a basket, and not very - in a cellophane bag. With respect hi

A helicopter is more complicated than a fire engine or a man's transmission. Again, literally last week there was an interesting case, when "democracy" disappeared in Azerbaijan in a couple of days and "violations of human rights" have grown. With all the ensuing consequences. It's no secret that such a topic can happen to any country.

                        Eugene, factory number 405 in Alma-Ata for the repair of Mi-8 (the whole region is repairing 8-ki there). There are plans for the assembly of the Ka-226. It was necessary to collect Eurocopters there.
                        Tochka-U was going to after the collapse in Petropavlovsk. Torpedoes on Z. Kirova in Alma-Ata (still working). And the production of cartridges was buried along with the sale of tablets in Kazakhstan.
                        With UVZ, the situation is interesting. After all, there is not much that is needed to upgrade 72 to the T-90 level. Most likely the point is in those. the dock rests. After all, UVZ did not give this to anyone. And most likely they are waiting for the T-14. Maybe then things will move. And at the moment, the T-90 is the most advanced production model growing. tanks. So let's wait. After all, even the equipment and the repair dock for the T-72 were taken in Kharkov, Ukraine, at one time.

                        As far as I understand with turntables as with machines, you will not sell if there is no normal service in place. Therefore, X cars are sold with rem. factory in the kit, and this is good, then they will fly. There was information on the Ka-226, but the results are not yet visible, I think the Eurocopter crushed. Although, in theory, Kamovtsev could be promoted to more active work in the Republic of Kazakhstan since as I understand it, this helicopter is not particularly built in Russia, and the machine is interesting.

                        I don’t think that the Points gathered for our army most likely for some time by inertia for the RA.

                        This is a paradox, to have production of torpedoes, and not to have an ammunition factory. because in the event of a military conflict, it’s cartridges and art. shells will be the first to run out.

                        The policy of UVZ is not particularly clear to me personally, having thousands of canned cars there is no intelligible modernization program. Indeed, in the appearance of ARMATA in the military, 72 you can safely sell (and thousands of them) to everyone who wishes and it’s good to step on the mazol to partners.
                        It seems the T-90 is not being remade from the T-72, these are new built cars.

                        Eugene, the first T-90 tanks that went to the Indians were assembled from the T-72 corps, which were in ... Semsk (it was in storage (for repair) ... 12 units of armored vehicles) ... T-000 - The latest upgrade of the T-90.
                        Isn't Point-U visible at parades? I saw a satisfied face 01 after visiting a "closed" workshop in Petropavlovsk (on TV, of course) a few years ago.
                        Ka-226 and other agreements with the Russian Federation. Two reasons can be suggested here:
                        1. The Russian Federation until recently considered RK as a sales market for finished products. But after Ukraine and sanctions, the vector has changed.
                        2. Financing. NAS is the last resort who gives GOOD in the allocation of funds in the Republic of Kazakhstan for military needs. And from us, it all depends on him. For example, it was a question of purchasing 36 Su-30SM in batches. The first of 4 pcs. they saw, but others didn’t - only NAS could not give money.
                        Tabachki had a dual purpose and after their sale we lost this (cartridges). For example, that Philip Maurice transferred production from Alma-Ata to the suburbs, nothing remained of its former greatness (dual purpose). It is now necessary to restore again - grabbed when Ukraine struck. hi
                        You are mistaken with the Eurocopter - we have nowhere to sell it.

            I’ll probably agree, but probably not the BMP, but the armored personnel carrier. And with BMPT (BMOP) there is still a lot of uncertainty. hi

              I remember the materials on VO before Krymnash, about the fact that Ukrainians also did or tried to do TBMP. I remember a big discussion on the issue of remaking tanks in TBMP, there were still a lot of users from Ukraine, it was a pity that they all left the site just because they were more for Ukraine than for the Russian Federation, now only fans of the Russian Federation living in Ukraine remained under the yellow-black flag.

                So they remade 64, "turned it around". The engine is opposed in front. But everything depends on the money BMPT-64. An interesting topic. From 72 to harder it will be.

                  In the photo redone BMP 2 (or 1), increased the height of the airborne squad, made the ramp. Most likely they improved only convenience and not armor protection.

                    Here is wikipedia for you.
                    BMPV-64 is an experienced Ukrainian infantry fighting vehicle, also classified as a heavy armored personnel carrier [5]. The machine was developed by the Kharkov Armored Repair Plant on the basis of a deeply modified chassis of the T-64 tank.

                      Sorry, confused it seems with the Belarusian modernization. They just updated the BMP. A BMPV-64 in one instance. And in the comments here they wrote that it seemed that they planned to drive for export and not for their needs.

                        Yes, even for export, two UKROBONSPECESPORT also sat down with us for a bribe. And they planned to issue an BTR-4, transfer the cartridge line from Lugansk and this was under Yanukovych. An-72 near Shymkent. Though they managed to take out the armored vehicles repair line from Lvov and Mig- 23/27 to repair.

                        And that the Thais, here alone with the southeast of Ukraine, let slip that the BTR-4 is a dangerous thing, mostly mercenaries are rolling on it and the VSUshniki are old.

                        They were also planned only for export i.e. for earnings. but the fact that they drove a trifle for their army, plus those that were sold to Iraq or to someone else. Defective were. It seems nat. guardsmen were equipped with them. In general, after these events our national would be great. rename the guard, and then what sediment is.

            In Russia, they decided to make TBMP based on ARMATE, you can understand, there is an opportunity and a promising topic, plus they pay attention to unification. We have the same prospects for the appearance of the Armat line are illusory, therefore it would be possible to be puzzled by the total alteration of 72 on TBMP, to provide protection against RPGs. Why it is not there is not clear. Perhaps everything depends on the armor. Is there any information that we make armor? Again chassis and engines. Not so simple with this TBMP. hi

              For example, to protect equipment from the most common shots to RPGs. Remaking is not relevant for Russia, but why not for Kazakhstan?
