Whom does the Uzbek army depend?

With the arrival of Shavkat Mirizieev to power, Uzbekistan has made agreements with many countries which before Karimov's policy did not allow to make. Official Tashkent has further boosted relations with far-abroad countries over the past two years. During this time hundreds of new agreements have been signed. Including military agreements. Now, we are going to give a brief overview of this area.

The army of Uzbekistan has the world's most powerful military force in Central Asia. However, who does this military force depend? Has the Uzbek army achieved such a degree by themselves? Of course not.

The Uzbek Army has been training military personnel from France and the United States over the past two years. Specialists from Paris and Washington are delivering special skill lessons for snipers and pilots from Uzbekistan.

Part of the modernization of military equipment was entrusted to Belarus, whereas the French and US were engaged in military training of the Uzbek army. Uzbekistan has sent Belarus four MIG-29 bomber planes and four Su-24s planes to Belarus in 2017 in order to repair them. The same year, the Ministry of Defense of Uzbekistan signed a memorandum with the Belarusian 558 aircraft repair plant. While, Russia and Belarus fought for repair of Uzbekistan's military equipment. The reason is that the majority of the Uzbek arsenal consists of military equipment left over from the Soviet Union. This is an unquestionable amount of money for officially Moscow and Minsk.

Uzbekistan has to cooperate with other countries in the armaments, as well as military equipment repair and personnel training. Because they have no enough personnel in military industry. At present, the Uzbek authorities have established links with Kazakhstan, Russia and Turkey in the production of weapons and modern models of military equipment.
