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?

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

The construction of houses with cement wood blocks is surprising workers; it uses a direct fitting system without complications and can make the work up to 100 times faster than the conventional method.

The government announces a new clinical research program and outlines how the amount of R$120 million in investments will be distributed among hospitals and universities of the SUS.

Cities in the United States are slowly sinking, and the reason behind the ground subsidence may surprise even experts as buildings, streets, and entire neighborhoods begin to give way without visible signs.

Two restaurants in Brazil achieve the highest rating in the Michelin Guide and elevate the country to a new level of fine dining.

China inaugurates a new era by signing a $5.1 billion project to expand one of the largest gas fields on the planet, adding 10 billion m³ per year and reinforcing an energy mechanism that already moves 30 billion m³ annually towards its market.
