Turkmenistan acquired the Chinese station of passive electronic reconnaissance DWL002

As the Eastpendulum resource informs in the material "Le Turkménistan se dote du radar passif chinois DWL002", Turkmenistan continues to purchase Chinese weapons. The latest model for today is the Chinese station of passive radio technical intelligence DWL002, which should strengthen the air defense system of this republic.



The station was developed by the Southwest China Research Institute of Electronic Equipment (SWIEE), also known as the Institute No. 29, a member of the Chinese state corporation China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC). The passive station DWL002 itself does not emit signals, but intercepts and processes civil frequencies at low wavelength, primarily television and radio channels for the detection of air, land and sea radiation sources.

The system consists of one main and two auxiliary stations on the car chassis, which are located at some distance from each other. If there is a request from the client, the measurement of the fourth coordinate - the height of the targets can be integrated into the system.

Turkmenistan has previously purchased Chinese-made air defense systems: the YLC-18 three-dimensional radar for monitoring low altitudes, the YLC-2V three-dimensional high-altitude radar, and three types of different antiaircraft missiles - FM-90, KS-1A and FD-2000. This demonstrates the desire of the leadership of Turkmenistan to get at its disposal such airspace control systems, although Turkmenistan's neighbors do not pose any military threat to it.

According to publications in Chinese sources, the supply of elements of the station DWL002 began in 2016.

In September 2017, a factory brigade arrived in Turkmenistan to set up the station and check its operability at the site of the deployment.

Recall that in early 2017, Uzbekistan signed a contract with the Belarusian side to carry out overhaul and repairs at 558 Aviation Repair Factory in Baranavichy four MiG-29 fighters (9.13 type) and four Su-25 attack aircraft from the Uzbek Air Force (total The Air Force of Uzbekistan, as reported, planned to repair eight MiG-29 and eight Su-25). It is known, in particular, that in 2017, the Uzbek MiG-29 with onboard numbers "20" and "24" were delivered to Baranavichy.

After the collapse of the USSR, Uzbekistan received 45 MiG-29 fighters (types 9.12, 9.13 and six MiG-29UB) as part of the 115th Guards Fighter Aviation Orsha Order of the Kutuzov and Alexander Nevsky regiments deployed at the Kokayda airfield (the regiment was re-equipped with MiG-29 fighters from the MiG-21bis fighters in 1988-1990). On January 1, 1993, the regiment was incorporated into the Air Force of Uzbekistan as the 61st separate fighter aviation regiment, and in 1999 it was relocated to the airfield Karshi-Khanabad. In 2002, the regiment was disbanded, and all MiG-29 fighters became part of the 60th separate mixed aviation brigade of Uzbekistan's air force stationed at Karshi-Khanabad (together with Su-24M / MR and Su-27 aircraft).

Nominally, the Air Force of Uzbekistan currently has up to 32 MiG-29 fighters, but almost all of them have been stored for a long time and only a few vehicles are in flying condition.

QW-18 Chinese man-portable air defense systems first shown in Uzbekistan

In Uzbekistan, for the first time, Chinese portable anti-aircraft missile systems QW-18 were shown


At the annual military training of the heads of state bodies of the Republic of Uzbekistan, held at the Chirchik training ground, new models of military equipment and weapons that were in service with the Uzbek army were demonstrated.

Among other things, the Chinese-made QW-18 man-portable air defense system first hit the frame. QW-18 MANPADS is a development of the QW-11G complex with improved GOS. The QW-18 was first demonstrated at Zhuai Airshow along with the QW-11 and QW-11G modifications in 2002. Improved dual-band infrared seeker allows not only to track the target due to the thermal trace of exhaust gases, but also the difference in temperature between the target and the environment. These changes significantly improved the capabilities of the complex to defeat cruise missiles. Externally, the QW-18 MANPADS differs little from the QW-11G / QW-11 systems.

Earlier, no deliveries of this type of Chinese MANPADS to Uzbekistan were reported.

Plans for new deliveries of Russian weapons to Kyrgyzstan

As RIA Novosti reported on May 18, 2020, Russia and Kyrgyzstan are discussing the supply of Buk-M1 anti-aircraft missile systems and Mi-8 helicopters from the Russian Armed Forces, the Center for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies (CAST) reports.

"The transfer of two divisions of the Buk-M1 air defense system and the additional number of Mi-8 helicopters from the availability are being discussed. It is obvious that Russia will completely dominate in the field of military-technical assistance to Kyrgyzstan in the coming years," the CAFT report, which will be published in soon.

The forthcoming Allies report is exploring the military potential of Russia's CSTO partners and Moscow’s military-technical cooperation with these countries.

It also notes that since 2000 over 400 officers and 700 cadets of the Kyrgyz Armed Forces have been trained at Russian military universities, and 40 senior officers have taken courses at the Military Academy of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces.

According to the report, in the field of military and military-technical cooperation, Moscow is the main partner of Bishkek, which is completely dependent on foreign military assistance. Since 2012, Russia and Kyrgyzstan have concluded arms supply agreements out of the availability of aid in the amount of about $ 200 million.

To date, military equipment worth about $ 126 million has been transferred to Bishkek, including two An-26 military transport aircraft, four Mi-24V combat helicopters, six Mi-8MTV and Mi-8MT helicopters, and two divisions of the upgraded S-125 air defense systems Pechora-2M, up to fifty modernized BTR-70M; motor vehicles, small arms and light weapons and ammunition.

Modernization of T-64B tanks in Uzbekistan to the T-64MV variant

The State Committee of Uzbekistan for the Defense Industry reported that a major overhaul and modernization of the T-64 tank was carried out at the production base of the armored repair plant of the Ministry of Defense of Uzbekistan. In particular, on the T-64 tank, the 5TDF engine was replaced with a V-84 V-engine, as a result of which its power was increased by 140 l / s and the tank was adapted to overcome any natural obstacles. T-64MV tank modernized in Uzbekistan (c) State Committee of Uzbekistan for the defense industry

In addition, to protect the health of the crew members, the tank's hull was reinforced with additional armor, a grill and dynamic protective boxes were installed. Communication facilities were replaced with modern digital radio stations produced in Uzbekistan under the Hytera brand.

The upgraded T-64MV tank was successfully tested by customers. According to the test results, the T-64MV tank in some technical characteristics is not inferior to the T-72 tank, such as engine power, the ability to overcome natural obstacles and firepower.

In connection with the above, work is underway to modernize the existing T-64 tanks in the troops of the Ministry of Defense to the level of T-64MV, with the subsequent re-equipment of the troops with them. It should be noted that developed countries are also promoting the principle of modernizing the tanks in service with their armies, instead of acquiring new ones.
