Kazakhstan has expanded
its air force fleet with the addition of an A-400M military transport aircraft
delivered from Spain. As one of the most advanced in its class, it will
significantly enhance the mobility of the country’s air defense forces. Designed
to transport personnel, heavy cargo, and equipment, it can also perform
humanitarian missions. The A-400M features a payload capacity of 37 tonnes, a
maximum speed of 802 km/h, a flight altitude of 12,200 meters, and a range of
up to 8,000 kilometers. In addition, it is capable of taking off from
unprepared airfields. Kazakhstan has acquired two A-400M aircraft, with the
second scheduled for delivery in 2026. The flight and technical crews have
already undergone training in operating and maintaining this aviation equipment.
«The Kazakh army has been
reinforced with a new aircraft today. President
Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has instructed to equip the army with modern technology
and armament. We are conducting systematic work in this direction,» noted
Kazakh Defense Minister Ruslan Zhaksylykov.
