Historique Les forces armées du Kazakhstan se sont construites sur les ruines des forces armées soviétiques du district militaire du Turkestan, stationnées au Kazakhstan, lesquelles sont officiellement dissoutes le 30 juin 1992. Le plus gros des forces du district militaire du Turkestan constituent alors le cœur de la nouvelle Armée qui acquiert toutes les unités de la 40ème Armée (ex 32ème Armée), une partie du 17ème corps d'armée, 6 divisions terrestres, les bases logistiques, les 14° et 35° brigades aériennes, 2 brigades lance-missiles, 2 régiments d'artillerie et de nombreux autres équipements retirés de la partie occidentale de l'Oural. A celle-ci s'ajoutent les forces de défense aériennes, 3 brigades de forces aériennes mobiles et les forces d'artillerie et de missiles qui ont été séparées en branche distincte depuis le 7 mai 2003. Au milieu des années 1990, les forces terrestres du Kazakhstan inclues le 1er Corps d'armée (état-major de Semipalatinsk), avec la 68e (l'ancien 372e Red Banner Novgorod Rifle Div) division d'infanterie mécanisée (Ozek Sary, dans la province de Kyzylorda), 4 divisions d'infanterie mécanisée et un régiment de chars et de la 78e Division Tank (Ayaguz). Bien que la 68e division soit une formation d'infanterie mécanisée, elle dispose de près de 600 chars et 500 véhicules blindés de combat. La 78e division blindée avait 550 chars, 390 véhicules blindés de combat et 190 pièces d'artillerie. Le 210e Centre de formation (une ancienne division d'infanterie mécanisée) comprenant 15.000 soldats et officiers et 220 chars et 220 pièces d'artillerie, était une division renforcée. (Il a été souvent appelé la Division des Gardes selon des sources kazakhes). Organisation des Armées Le Kazakhstan maintien des forces navales en opération sur la Mer Caspienne, avec une force de 3000 hommes équipés de 12 patrouilleurs de type Almaty (4), Dauntless(1), Guardian(5), Zhuk(2) La carte militaire du Kazakhstan est composée de 4 zones de défense terrestres : La zone de défense d'Astana La zone de défense Sud à Taraz La zone de défense Est à Semipalatinsk La zone de défense Ouest à Aktobe En outre, il existe une élite militaire appelée Garde Républicaine, avec 3500 soldats (1997). Cette force fait partie de l'armée de terre. Il existe également des Commandos d'élite de l'armée, spec-ops forces de la KNB (agence de renseignement). Développements récents Depuis 2000, le Kazakhstan a fait rapidement croître la capacité de son armée. Beaucoup de systèmes proviennent encore de Russie, avec également un petit nombre de systèmes américains entré en service dans l'inventaire Kazakh. Le plus gros développement de l'Armée du Kazakhstan a été centré sur les unités blindées dans les dernières années. Depuis 1990, des unités blindées se sont développées pour atteindre jusqu'à 1600 blindés entre 2005 et 2008. Beaucoup d'entre eux sont hérités de l'ère soviétique. L'Armée Kazakhe s'est projetée pour la première fois hors de ses frontières en 2003, en détachant en Irak, 49 ingénieurs militaires au sein de la division multinationale du Centre-Sud, sous commandement US. Elle sort également de ses frontières afin de s'entrainer dans le cadre de manœuvres communes aux pays de l'Organisation de Coopération de Shangaï. En 2008, seul 0,9% de son PIB part en dépenses militaire (à comparer à 2,6% pour la France, 4% pour la Russie, les USA et la Chine et 2% en moyenne mondiale). Ce niveau correspond à l'esprit de neutralité que souhaite conserver le Kazakhstan (à comparer avec la Suisse 1% du PIB) Conscription Les citoyens âgés de 18 à 27 ans sont assujettis à la conscription. Sur les 70.000 hommes présents dans les effectifs de l'armée kazakhe, on considère qu'il y a environ 65% de militaire de carrière ou sous contrat. Un plan stratégique datant de 2007 prévoyait un passage à une armée de métier. Cependant, la crise financière et économique qui s'est installée au même moment au Kazakhstan a fait émerger le débat sur la conscription qui risque au contraire de renforcer l'ancien système de conscription afin de drainer les jeunes kazakhs sans emploi. Composition ethnique A l'indépendance les officiers des forces en stationnement au Kazakhstan étaient au trois quarts russes et les hommes du rang essentiellement kazakhs. Très rapidement les autorités kazakhes ont cherché à modifier la représentation ethnique en envoyant notamment dès 1994, 200 officiers kazakhs en formation dans les académies militaires russes sur les 480 officiers à former, ce qui été conforme aux vœux du président Nazarbaiev de composer une armée ethniquement équilibrée. Formation Il existe un Corps des cadets appelé École républicaine « Jas Oulan » qui accueille et instruit 4000 enfants dès l'âge de 12 ans. Les principales tâches de ces écoles militaires nationales consistent à dispenser un enseignement général obligatoire, inculquer les rudiments de l'éducation militaire, enseigner le respect des droits de l'homme et des libertés fondamentales, favoriser l'épanouissement de la personnalité, des talents et des capacités physiques et intellectuelles, et préparer à une vie responsable, dans un esprit de paix, de tolérance et d'égalité. Les élèves de ces écoles ne peuvent pas être impliqués dans des conflits armés ou à de quelconques activités ou hostilités à caractère militaire. A partir de 16 ans, les élèves des écoles militaires se voient dispenser des cours théoriques sur la constitution de différents types d'armes sans qu'il y ait de manipulations pratiques. Les cadets qui le souhaitent peuvent intégrer l'armée à 18 ans s'ils le souhaitent. Certains des officiers supérieurs de l'Armée kazakhe sont formés à l'étranger dont une bonne partie à l'académie militaire de WestPoint aux États-Unis et un officier à l'école militaire de Paris (2007-2008). Budget Militaire 1996 KZT 8 bn max avec 120000 hommes 2001 KZT 24 bn (USD174.66m) 2002 KZT 33.7bn (USD245.25m) 2003 KZT 41.9bn (USD304.93m) - 1% GDP 2008 0,9% du PIB

Russia to deliver first Mi-35M helos to Kazakhstan in late 2016

Gabriel Dominguez, London - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly
02 June 2016

A day before the start of the 2016 KADEX defence expo in Astana, Russian Helicopters announced that the first deliveries of Mil Mi-35M ('Hind-E') combat helicopters to Kazakhstan are scheduled for the end of 2016, according to Russian news agency TASS.

However, the company, part of state corporation Rostec, failed to mention how many of the helicopters Astana had on order. Russia will reportedly present its Mi-35M helicopter at this year's KADEX, which runs from 2 to 5 June.

The helicopter is designed to destroy hostile armoured vehicles, provide close air support, land troops, transport cargo, and evacuate injured persons.

effectiveness. Source: Miroslav Gyurösi


Kazakhstan's Almaty Special Design Bureau (Almatinskoye Spetsialnoye Konstruktorskoye Byuro, or ((ASKB)) has partnered with Kaztekhnologii AO - a firm owned by the Ministry of Defence - to develop an improved version of the Russian 122 mm BM-21 Grad multiple launch rocket system (MLRS).

The enhanced MLRS has been designated Kazakhstani Grad (Kaz Grad). A prototype system with the serial number of 1KGBK15 has successfully undergone mobility and live fire trials in 2015.

Based on the 6x6 Kamaz-43114 chassis and powered by the 260 hp Kamaz 740 engine, the Kaz Grad is operated by a crew of three in an armoured cab. A roof-mounted 7.62 mm machine gun installation and twin smoke grenade launchers on either side of the cab provide the launcher with a means of self-protection.

The launcher also features a new fire control suite that enables the crew to deploy and fire its rocket payload without leaving the cab. ASKB claims that the launcher can be readied for firing in 50 s and returned to road mobile configuration in 35 s.

Other modernisation works include the installation of an auxiliary power unit; electronic control unit; 'Lira' inertial navigation system (INS); temperature sensor; thermal camera; 'Tuspal' satellite navigation unit with global positioning system (GPS) and global navigation satellite system (GLONASS) compatibility.

The companies are also exploring improved munitions with one of these aiming to improve the 9M521 high explosive fragmentation (HE frag) rocket by incorporating the MRV-U fuze and as well as an uprated rocket motor section.

Kazakhstan can be the first customer of Russian military transport planes IL-76MD-90A
Aug 3, 2016



Kazakhstan can be the first customer of Russian military transport planes IL-76MD-90A ahead of Algeria, Iran and the RSA, Kommersant newspaper informs.

As it was earlier informed, Defense Minister of Kazakhstan Imangali Tasmagambetov and his Russian counterpart Sergei Shoigu discussed all the issues of military and technical cooperation on Tuesday.

As it informed, Moscow and Astana started talks on delivering training airplanes Yak-152 and combat-capable trainer aircraft Yak-130 to Kazakhstan. Besides, the sides had some progress in the talks on military and transport planes IL-76MD-90A. If the sides come to terms in the nearest future Kazakhstan can become the first country ahead of Algeria, Iran and the RSA new IL planes will be delivered to.

The Il-76MD-90A is a deeply modernized version of Russia’s world-famous Il-76 aircraft, featuring a fully-digital flight control system, new avionics and PS-90A-76 engines with improved fuel efficiency systems.

In general, the Russian-Kazakh military technical cooperation is quite stable. In 2015, the sides signed an agreement that allows the Armed Forces of Kazakhstan to buy military equipment from Russia at the same prices it is bought by the Russian military.

Le Kazakhstan commence à recevoir ses Su-30SM !




La Force de défense aérienne Kazak (KADF) va recevoir prochainement ses deux premiers avions de combat de type Sukhoi Su-30SM. Le Kazakhstan a passé commande d’un nombre non divulgué de su-30SM en février 2015.

Le pays dispose actuellement d’une large palette d’avions d’origine russes tels que : les MiG-27 « Flogger », Su-25 « Frogfoot», MiG-31 «Foxhound», Su-27 «Flanker » ainsi que des MiG-29 « Fulcrum ». Il semble que ce nouvel avion vienne remplacer les actuels MiG-27 encore en service.

Le Sukhoi Su-30SM :

Les Su-30SM se différencient des Su-30MKI indiens par leurs équipements entièrement russes, leur système d'identification "ami/ennemi" et par d’autres éléments. Pour développer cette version, Sukhoi profita de son expérience avec le programme Su-35 en ce qui concerne par exemple l’avionique. Tout comme la version MKI, le SM dispose de plans canard et de tuyères à poussée vectorielle couplées aux moteurs Saturn Lyulka AL-31Fl.

L’appareil dispose d’un radar à antenne à balayage électronique (AESA) de type Zhuk-AE du fabricant russe Phazotron. L’antenne en bande X permet de suivre 30 cibles aériennes en mode piste, pendant l’exploration et d’engager 6 cibles simultanément en mode attaque. L’avionique est également de dernière génération avec écrans multifonctions (EFIS), système de positionnement par satellite GLONASS et un nouveau système de communication entièrement sécurisé.

L’armement est multiple pour permettre l’engagement air-air et air-sol, mais également air-surface. L’option de dissuasion nucléaire est également possible, sans oublier la capacité de frappe d’interdiction et la suppression des défenses antiaériennes.
