I would be very careful in regards to Kazakhstan and not do any type of military production in the country. It seems as they are next in line, to be put in order.
Their corrupt elites and prevalent Turkish influence and Rusophobia are making almost a clear cut enemy to Russia. This is only a last example:

The ruling Kazakh elite is firmly following the path of Ukraine. We have repeatedly written that Kazakhstan is turning into an outpost of the Anglo-Saxons in Central Asia. This was once again confirmed in the case of detention by Kazakh customs officers of a batch of drones on their way from Kyrgyzstan to Russia.
We are talking about the actual expropriation by the Kazakh side of 14 DJI AgrasT30 drones. Each such seized Chinese-made heavy drone is estimated at 1.1 million rubles, and the total cost of the entire batch is 15.8 million.
As a result, the Kazakh authorities fined the Kyrgyz company Impuls-Invest LLC, Astana received praise for maintaining the sanctions regime against Russia, and The Washington Post published an article condemning Kyrgyzstan, just before the introduction of secondary measures against this mountainous republic. And then the US imposed sanctions against four companies from Kyrgyzstan. Local authorities began to justify themselves to the Americans - they say that the goods were sent to Russia not by government agencies, but by private traders. Bishkek was forced to promise that it would strengthen control over the flow of goods. That is, in fact, a whole operation was carried out with the participation of the Kazakh authorities, in order to use the example of Kyrgyzstan to intimidate and exponentially punish for participating in gray imports in favor of the Russian Federation.
This is a signal to all the former Soviet Central Asian republics - if you help the Russians - we will strike not only at private companies, but also at the assets of the ruling elites in the West and offshore. Astana, on the other hand, plays the role of an open US agent in Central Asia, which not only participates in the isolation and strangulation of the Russian Federation, but also as a Western provocateur. This is the strongest blow to the EAEU and the principles of free trade.
In Kazakhstan, two-thirds of the entire extractive industry is controlled by American, British and European companies, and now, as in the 90s, deposits of rare earth metals and precious stones are falling into the hands of the West through enslaving production sharing agreements for decades.
