Ukraine converted roads into runways to increase the number of air bases.

Ukraine modernized about 10 X Soviet Su-24 tactical bombers to launch Storm Shadow cruise missiles.

Russian forces have been attacking airfields in western Ukraine, where there may be Su-24s. For example the one in Starokostyantyniv.

And yet Russia fails to hit them again and again.

This is due to the fact that the Ukrainian Armed Forces move Su-24s with Western missiles from base to base every 24 hours.

Ukraine restored all airfields from the times of the USSR, and in some places they converted roads into runways.

The most valuable Western air defense systems Patriot and IRIS-T are used to protect the air bases.

Those who want to sign a contract with the Russian Army were offered a one-time payment of 495,000 rubles (about $5,000) and a monthly salary of 190 thousand rubles (about $2,000).

Participation in military conflicts abroad in exchange for money is considered a crime under Kazakh law.

However, residents of Central Asian countries said that many of their citizens had traveled to Ukraine to fight in the ranks of the Russian army and the mercenary group Wagner.

These people mostly decided to enlist in the army not in their home countries but in Russia, where they went to work.

It is known that millions of Uzbeks, Tajiks and Kyrgyz work as migrant workers in Russia.

Although many people from Central Asian countries work as migrant workers in Russia, the number of Kazakhstan citizens among them is relatively low.
