Russia to Supply Weapons to Afghanistan's Neighbors
|
[AnNahar] Russia said Thursday it has received new orders for arms and helicopters from Central Asian republics bordering Afghanistan following the Taliban
 ...mindless ferocity in a turban...
's takeover of the country.
The orders come as countries in the ex-Soviet region, where Moscow holds military bases, have raised concerns over the hard boy group sweeping to power.
"We are already working on a number of orders from countries in the region for the supply of Russian helicopters, fire arms and modern border protection systems," Alexander Mikheev, the head of Russia's state arms exporter Rosoboronexport, told the RIA Novosti news agency.
While Russia remains cautiously optimistic about the new leadership in Kabul, it has warned of snuffies entering neighbouring countries as refugees.
Uzbekistan and Tajikistan earlier this month held joint military exercises with Russia close to their borders with Afghanistan.
Drills involving members of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), a military alliance led by Moscow, are also scheduled in Kyrgyzstan between September 7 and 9.
The maneuvers will focus on "the destruction of illegal gangs that have invaded the territory of an CSTO member state", according to the press-service of the alliance quoted by the Interfax news agency.
While the Taliban has said it does not pose a threat to Central Asian countries, the ex-Soviet republics in the region have previously been targeted by attacks attributed to allies of Afghan Islamists.
