Just a general interest question, not intended to start a flame debate. How would u rate the Kazakh’ Air Force today? Do u think it could hold its own against an outside aggresor? Considering it has an inventory of Su-27s, Su-24s, Su-25s, MiG-29s and is the only other operator of the MiG-31, on paper it has a potent fixed wing fleet and according to some reports the pilots get about 100-120 hours a year which is something in itself. So faced with for arguments sake an attack by China, could the Kazakh’s put up a fight to make the Chinese think twice?
Does anyone have ANY pic’s of the Kazakh’ fleet?
