United States Acquires 81 Ex-Soviet Combat Jets From Kazakhstan, Potentially To Support Ukraine Amid Rising Tensions And Geopolitical Realignment In The Region.
The United States has finalized the purchase of 81 ex-Soviet combat jets from Kazakhstan, in a deal that could have direct implications for military support to Ukraine. These aircraft, which include models such as Mig-27, Mig-29, and SU-24, were originally manufactured in the 1970s and 80s and are part of the arsenal that Kazakhstan inherited after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
The deal, which involved the sale of aircraft at a stated price of approximately $2,260,000 each, suggests that these jets could be used as sources for parts or, potentially, as false targets in Ukrainian airfields. This latter strategy would aim to confuse Russian forces and preserve Ukraine’s operational aircraft, which currently include models similar to those acquired.
The Sale Of 81 Soviet-Era Military Aircraft Occurs In A Context Of Growing Alignment Of Kazakhstan With The West
The sale occurs in a context of growing alignment of Kazakhstan with the West, a significant shift given the country’s historical and strategic ties to Russia. This rapprochement with the United States, and possibly with NATO, was evidenced by statements of support for Kazakhstan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity made by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken during a recent visit to the country.

U.S. Acquisitions Raise Questions About Continuity Of Foreign Policy
The acquisitions by the United States raise questions about the continuity of foreign and defense policy in the region, especially regarding Russia, which has viewed these movements unfavorably. With the Ukrainian conflict still ongoing, the introduction of these ex-Soviet aircraft in any capacity could alter military and strategic dynamics, both in practical and symbolic terms.
If the negotiations are confirmed as successful, this acquisition could represent a significant advance in support of Ukraine’s defense efforts, highlighting the role of the United States as a key player in the geopolitical landscape of Eastern Europe and as a strategic ally of nations that were once part of the Soviet bloc, as is the case with Kazakhstan.

É o preço da guerra, e em se tratando do antagonismo russo, é um pequeno investimento. O que são os cerca de 300 milhões de dólares se isto ajuda à dificultar a vida de Putin?
