Is Biden Boosting Ukraine's Defence Against Russia With Obsolete Soviet-Era Kazakhstan Jets?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 พ.ค. 2024
- The US has reportedly acquired 81 obsolete Soviet-era combat aircraft from Kazakhstan. According to Kyiv Post, the declared sale value was $2.26 million in total with the average value for each plane being $19,300. The deal came after the Kazakh government advertised the sale of 117 fighter and bomber aircraft acquired when it was a part of the Soviet Union. These Cold War-era aircraft were put up for sale in October 2023 due to their obsolescence and the uneconomical nature of their repair. Kazakhstan has been gradually replacing its outdated fleet of Soviet-made combat aircraft with modern jets. Watch the video to find out more.

It said they are obsolete. lol
Russia know how to shut down, it's not a problem.
These are likely going to be used for spare parts and as decoys.
I doubt there are many spare parts in it. For $19k, it will have no engine, weapons, or avionics.
Maybe after titanium frame of old su27😊
@@darkcloud5830 Decoys then.

Does you're mother know you are unsupervised on her Pc... !!!
The airframes may be old. But with advanced electronics it'll be a game changer.
You have to be very childish to think that can be true.
Yes, if is PC game.
They can be converted to one way heavy duty kamikaze drones
Double-sided.))
Wow. Suicide bomber. I really thought that western value human life. Apparently not with this shit comment
If there is an engine on it. $19K wouldn't even cover the cost of a broken engine.
@darkcloud5830 it's very likely the low price is a lie designed to silence any opposition to the deal. You would get a better price selling off spare parts or taking it to the wreckers at the metal junk yard
Yes with "Starlink" they can pilot everything over the world.
There is no longer the problem of link cutting, jamming, ... that there was in the old drone piloting system.
"Starlink" really scares me. I feel like it's "Skynet".
The reason why the USbuy old and obsolete Soviet Jets from the former Soviet republic like Kazazhtan ? In order supply it to Ukraine and because Ukraine are so fmilar operating and flying numbers of these Jets
Tesla owners wondering why they didn't buy Kazakh old jets at $20,000 instead of over priced cars
Putting these dead airframes in working order will cost more than a new aircraft, LMAO. They'll probably crash their pilots during testing
@@wolfswinkel8906 not when u part out others to make 1, Plus Ukraine has crazy amount of parts for those kind of Russian aircraft.
@@1234creviswe're all speculating on what will happen, but you're right. They have plenty of spare parts and knowledge of these planes. It will be interesting to see how they are used.
@@readytodie116 100% and thank u
MiG-29 for 20k??? Kazakhstan should just make an open auction. I know a lot of civilian hobbyists would love to own these. Spareparts not an issue, these people do not care about what they have to pay to get the jets flying again.
Empire's Cheap cost effective gift for it's cannon fodders.
Coffins with wings
Lol
My sense is that heavy duty and fast and long range drones, is the bottom line use for the fighters. Anti-drone utility also. Maybe bait to draw Russian air assets into traps. Fighters could be used for intermittent ground-attack support of troops on the ground: retreating and moving elsewhere before Russia get's its air-to-air counter into play; hit and run additional troop support artillery.
Didn't Kazakhstan denied the selling of it's aircrafts to USA?
Interesting
Actually there is a different explanation: these aircraft might contain old electronics that will be unaffected by EMP from a nuclear blast. This could mean that US/NATO has already decided to use nukes.
Soviet legacy avionics were designed to withstand to nuclear radiation.
Couldn't the US restore them? Possibly modernize them to an extent? It's not like we're unfamiliar with these aircraft.
It always depends on refurbished/new parts available.
NOS (new old stock) was mostly available to former Warsau pact and Soviet weapons customers.
Europes former Warsau pact now NATO countries already sold/donated their former soviet equipment to Ukraine.
My theory is that these airframes have way less flighthours then the jets now used in combat in Ukraine.
Combat flighthours are way more demanding on an airframe then regular peacetime training flighthours.
The worn out Ukraine airframes could be gutted out for parts and be reinstalled in these "younger" Airframes.
SU 24 Fencer is a Soviet era Fighterbomber amd swing wing combat aircraft and hiis US counterpart is the F111 Aviidvark
Pretty tough and stable when flying at low-level mode. Especially with heftier external stores.
Easy, they are spare parts for the ones in service in Ukraine to complement the fleet along with F-16. Wars are won with good logistics.
How is it cost effective to buy busted planes in that region, refurbish and deliver to another country, yet not costeffective to remove functional aircraft and equipment from Afghanistan?

Perfectly good air frames for remote kamikaze drones, good range and high pay loads,
Depriving the enemy of parts? I doubt they are for combat, they are way to old to be useful, but 117 airframes is not an insignificant number of spare parts, better in hands other than Russians.
Well well well. This is a real twist . They could be modernised and put into combat. They could be used for spare parts. They could be used as decoys. They could be used to shot down Russian drones.
Wonder whether they are linked to the purchase of “cheap” Rafael jets. Read that these jets are attracting orders from all of over the world and if Kazakhstan were willing to buy some Rafael jets then it may well be the French would be willing to offer generous terms.
We shall see.
Ukraine are so familar operating and flying numbers of Old Soviet era combat aircraft such as MIG 27 Flogger , MIG29 Fulcrum and SU 24 Fencer fighterbomber and that US have bought from the former Soviet republic like Kazakhtan
I don't get it about MiG-27s...
It's like megaman you need the same power as the boss to win
Not true, i had played every megaman game and i was able to beat the boss being under-powered.
Beating the boss that is in every way stronger than Megaman, led me to a very satisfactory win.
They'll make great drones for one way missions.
They would be useful as UAVs
What new jets Kazakhstan will buy?
Video did not say anything about it 🤔
@@riverside6836honestly, not sure. Maybe we will buy jets from China they have a lot of them, or maybe we will get some from Turkey
Desperate situations comes desperate measures, as to its success is up to be seen. Reversed engineered American captured javelins will make it hard for them i think.
They're military planes vever was better Than Russian so if they get them they have to learn a lot of them especially those mig 31 who included in the Pac of Soviet aeroplanes
"Kazakhstan, greatest country in the world"
pretty regular a British army surplus company sold them Saxon armoured personnel carriers which in the opinion of the retired chief of the British Army were useless in high intensity warfare. He thought selling them to the Ukrainians was just immoral.
$19,300 is so less. Just the radar itself might cause that much. Regardless if the jets still fly or not, they are worth more than that. Why would Kazakhstan even bother to sell to the West? They know nothing good will come out of it.
Chillax, its free profit. These jets are just going to rot in their storage anyways, i doubt what is essentially spare parts will cost more than even $50,000.
@@Patrr0it3 What are you talking about? Have you ever bought a used car? Kazakhstan can make more money selling to a museum than to the US.
@@darkcloud5830 Yes. A family member owns one for less than $10,000.
1. These jets aren’t just “used” they are *obsolete* and *unusable*, essentially they are useless to operate and own.
2. Military hardware is usually donated to museums.
@@Patrr0it3 Dude, for that price, they can put it in the park and let the kids play with it.
@@darkcloud5830 Your point? These jets are like older than my deceased Grandma.
This could be part of the US supplememtal aid in which US Congress have passed worth $ 61 Billion to Ukraine and the US have purchase combat aircraft from the Former Soviet era like Kazakhtan worth $ 2.25 million and $ 19 ,300 million each combat aircraft
Where and in which combat "excelled" MIG29? Imagination of author?
how do you stop russia from buying them? you just buy before them.
So Russia cant get their hands on them for spare parts.
Maybe from India ,too ?
Buy from us India we have plenty of old soviet era jet fighters
The price is negotiable but not rock bottom since we have upgraded the system using our up to date Hanuman algorithms
Scrap metal
Either way, it's less spare parts for katsaps.
if were fixing them they will be a better safer plane they probably were requested by them
One way drones
🇺🇸❤️🇺🇦
Bad news for Russia 😮😢😢😢
Are u not giving Ukraine the F16 jets
Buying these old Soviet-era fighter aircraft also denies them to the Russians as they could buy them and send them back to their factories to be rebuilt.
Answer is no.
They are for decoys
Those are some really expensive decoys for $2.3m 😂😂😂😂😂
@@wolfswinkel8906 Not if the missiles are a multiple of that price xD
@@whodaFru4551 interesting.. so these aircraft aren't gonna fly after prohibitively expensive maintenance costs on the "unusable" airframe (according to the video), right? So, if they're gonna be sitting on the ground as decoys, what makes you think the Russians won't use a cheap lancet on them like all the others? 🤣
@@wolfswinkel8906About $20.000 each. These planes are in unusable condition.
Unlike Americas latest and greatest these old girls can actually get of the ground and aren't broken down most of the time.
Spare parts and decoys for Ukraine and also stops Russia from using them for the same. US purchases lots of equipment to stop other countries from getting their hands on it.

Kazakhstan is asking Russia to invade them if they are leaning towards the West because that is the reason that they invaded Ukraine. They did not want any Western troops next door.
The don’t have the tools or trained mechanics to service American aircraft
Kazakhstan, number one exporter of potassium, all other countries have inferior potassium.
Kazakhstan is an example of Russia's general economic shift to Asian markets and too few western analysts grasp how long this has been the case. Russia's total area is mostly Asian and when Yeltsin handed over to Putin the latter revived the practice of surprise visits to factories, companies, regional administrations and records of courts, requiring that judiciary officials spoke for themselves.
Just because Yeltsin remains a controversial figure, largely recalled for being drunk or seemingly drunk (he had neurological and heart problems throughout his life) we should not overlook the tasks he was faced with after Gorbachev's economic experiments and fondness for getting headlines in the west caused major recessions in different parts of Russia and how, despite crippling illness, he put a lot of faith in younger administrators and accords made predominantly with B Clinton and A Juppé.
Putin and regional teams took the theme of generally increased activity and regional governance being a main solution to border flare ups and dangers of further economic vulnerability.
In the wake of two Chechen civil wars which had been clumsily handled by Moscow, the still young Putin listened economists, military men, experts in industrial requirements and was less trusting of NATO and the west than Yeltsin had been.
By developing the chernozem belt in Kazakhstan to achieve yields similar to Russia's then accepting Turkish proposals to lay oil pipelines to Kazakhstan (co-financed), the region became prosperous and the Turkish contracts for oil guaranteed reaching into the future settled the Caucasus as well as could be dreamed of.
Obviously, the mainstream expansion of raw materials, staples (not least water) and very low cost energy to China coinciding with east and south Asian quite rapid development allowed the Uralian Yeltsin ideas for 'interior' development to accelerate and Russian trade interest in the west were less relevant that we westerners like to think.
BECAUSE the USSR had been replaced by the CIS and Russia itself became more coherent as a collection of cultures, languages, traditions and self-governance under the main Duma and not a Supreme Soviet, the whole region developed steadily with the benefit of additions to the BAM rail network of Brezhnev's times as well as major attention to the TS Railway. CIS members which had been known for factional conflicts were permitted to develop branches to this gigantic pair of arteries and cross-arteries from the Black Sea to the Pacific and they could muster credit for such building from more or less anywhere subject to CIS vetting.
Kazakhstan sometimes squabbles with Moscow but this is usual among trading partners and an Asian trait. European Russia (the western admin branch of the Russian Federation) does not own CIS member states and has sometimes levied a bill if its military is called upon, an in Kazakhstan a few years ago. Military policing is a commodity.
The possible sale of old Soviet jets to Biden is not outlandish and other post-Soviet states have sold to small and large countries for a variety of reasons. The USA and NASA have quite a collection already -- but of course there are no OEM spares available. Ukraine has lost most of its SU-24s and Migs and only the former can carry SCALP/SS cruise missiles The much talked about F-16 (except the Turkish rebuild version which will be kept by Ankara pending their new BAE partner jet being available) would struggle with the weight of cruise missiles and their limited range would further compromise the nimble flying for which they were designed, so maybe Biden's minders think SU-24s with GE or PW engines would help to prolong the conflict and feed the USA's disgusting and over-powerful weapons industries.
Conversions of Soviet planes has been achieved for 'war games' over decades.
Note that the story about the US buying Kazakh stocks came from the Kiev News -- not the most reliable source of veracity.........................
Is that why Gazprom has taken a record loss in 2023? Cause they already shifted markets?
While your Abrams can't defeat the shovels, you have to buy shovels to counter shovels.
Yes 31 Abrams can't win over 500 000 shovels.

Shovels > Abrams
yes a couple of dozen old model Abrams... if stone age russia had to fight a modern advanced state it would be a massacre. Or imagine if Russia had to fight someone of equal numbers? I don't think so. Good news though due to your catastrophic population imbalance that's not far away.
🤣👍👍👍We in Russia all laugh when reading or listening to foreign media news, the funniest thing is combat shovels))))))
BIDEN WILL SAY WHEN F-16 GET SHOT ITS THE OLD SOVIET JET, NOT AMERICAN😂😂😂😂
These jets are so cheap that NATO is going to use them to waste Russian S-300 and S-400 missiles.
I highly doubt these can be made air worthy.
Ukraine pilot train to fly russian obsolete jet. Ukraine pilot is more familiar to fly Soviet era jets than flying Western jet. Thats a fact base on pilot doing training with Western jets.

This is called, being wise with resources! Whether it’s parts or them upgrading these, I’m sure people will hate on it, cause critics hate on everything, but that’s cause they’re ignorant! In case they forget we’re in debt trillions, and we just got planes that can aid in the war. Oh u want us to only use b2 stealths, f22s and recon solely with don of blackbird or whatever there using, blue tacit whatever, yea those are literally amazing planes, but we won wars being economically smart combination of efficiency and innovation, going back to this is smart, good job, great idea !

One word: Titanium. Ex-Soviet aircraft contain lots of titanium, a rare metal valued for its strength, light weight and resistance to heat that is difficult to come by in the West but obtainable in Russia. The air frames that aren't usable can simply be scrapped for the Titanium which can be used in new U.S. aircraft construction. Ironic.
Titanium isn't rare, it is ninth most abundant element in the Earth's crust. And even Ukraine, despite the war, is still amongst the biggest miners of titanium ore and producers of metallic titanium. That vastly exceeds the amount of metal you can scrap from planes.
