The armed forces of Kazakhstan
and Uzbekistan have completed the second stage of the Kanzhar-2023 joint
military exercises in the Mangystau region. At the Oymash training range, a
combined tactical unit of special forces was given the task to develop a response
algorithm in case of a terrorist threat, as well as detect and eliminate
illegal armed groups. The training took place in conditions similar to combat,
with the involvement of artillery and anti-aircraft systems, helicopters,
planes and drones. In early August, the first stage of joint exercises in the
form of a computerized command and staff development was conducted in
Uzbekistan. The exercises are aimed at ensuring military security in the
Central Asian region.
“The main objective of command
and staff exercises is to detect and eliminate illegal armed groups on the
border, as well as to exchange experience with each other,” said Berdimurat
Abibullayev, commander of the military unit 25744.
