Recently, there have been rumors that Kazakhstan has sold used weapons and equipment to Ukraine, what is going on with this?
The relationship between Kazakhstan and Russia is relatively delicate, including Kazakhstan's basic neutrality in the Russian-Ukrainian military conflict, but in the current state, it is rumored that Kazakhstan has provided weapons and equipment to Ukraine, let's take a look.
According to reports, it was previously pointed out on social networks that a wealthy man who asked for anonymity appeared to have bought a military plane in Kazakhstan that had been written off, and sold these weapons and equipment to Ukraine as spare parts.
Kazakhstan pointed out that this information does not correspond to the facts. All legal entities in Kazakhstan that sell aviation equipment to the Republic of Kazakhstan with the corresponding license issued by the competent authorities must be required to be recycled and reused, and the requirements of the current legislation must be strictly observed, and foreign companies are not allowed to participate in the auction. This means that all weapons and equipment must be recycled and reused, and they must be monitored throughout the process, and it is impossible to sell them to other countries, especially Ukraine. The official Kazakh news denies that it has sold weapons and equipment to Ukraine, emphasizing that there is no arms transaction between itself and Ukraine, even if it is an old weapon transaction.
The source pointed out that a third party, that is, a wealthy man, bought all these weapons and equipment, and after the acquisition, he may sell them to the fourth and fifth parties. Is it strange that the fourth and fifth parties may include Ukraine? In fact, it is not surprising, after all, once the old weapons and equipment are sold to a third party, how should they be disposed of? The whole process of reuse is monitored, and it may not be so strict!
If some of Ukraine's military aircraft and old weapons and equipment lack parts and components of Soviet-made weapons and equipment, then it is more likely that these weapons and equipment parts will flow into Ukraine. At the same time, if Ukraine wants to buy some military planes from Kazakhstan, it will also change various ways to imply the ultimate target user and get these parts in its hands. Therefore, Kazakhstan needs to investigate whether the internal mechanism of so-called whole-process monitoring and reuse is perfect!
