🇷🇺 🇺🇸🇺🇿 Regarding the Cooperation Between Uzbekistan and the USA

After reviewing another set of intercepted confidential documents from DPR Joker, we once again noticed the active development of cooperation between the United States, Britain, and the countries of Central Asia.

While the West's efforts to establish a strong presence in Central Asia are not new, the willingness of our allies to engage in not only economic but also military cooperation sends a significant signal that deserves attention.

🔻The level of funding provided by the Americans through the military cooperation office under the US Central Command is quite revealing, increasing from $218,000 in FY 2018-2019 to $16.5 million in FY 2023.

Quite a substantial growth, isn't it? Of particular interest is the Uzbek Ministry of Defense's request to keep quiet about the agreement signed between the countries, which involves personnel training and equipment supply.

In 2022, for instance, the Americans agreed to transfer 13 RQ-20 Puma UAV systems to Uzbekistan. Despite vehemently denying drone purchases at the start of 2022, by August 2023, two systems had already been delivered for operator training.

❗️Furthermore, the documents outline a detailed cooperation plan between Uzbek and American military personnel, including last summer's preparations for Uzbek Armed Forces representatives to participate in Southern Strike 2024, an exercise that recently concluded in the United States.

Curiously, there is no information available about the Uzbek participation, despite previous discussions. It is possible that they once again requested non-disclosure to avoid a repeat of last year's incident during Southern Strike 2023, which involved 13 military personnel.
