The purchased equipment, financed from the budget, is intended to improve the mobility of army units.
Adylbek Kasymaliev, the head of the Cabinet of Ministers, handed over 81 units of vehicles to the Ministry of Defense, purchased with state funds.
The vehicles included in the delivery consist of 36 Chevrolet Cobalt, 19 JAC T-6, 18 "Gazelles," 5 passenger buses, and 3 JAC Sunray minibuses, some of which were assembled at the "Tulpar Motors" plant in Kyrgyzstan.
Kasymaliev emphasized that the renewal of the vehicle fleet will significantly enhance the mobility of army units and ensure the rapid transportation of personnel.
He also noted that in recent years, funding for the Armed Forces has increased by more than 300 percent compared to 2018-2019. These funds are directed towards the modernization of equipment, the purchase of armaments, as well as the development of infrastructure and logistical support.
Also, according to the head of the Cabinet, the Ministry of Defense is undergoing a digitalization process. Electronic systems for document management and accounting of military personnel are being implemented, and the pilot project already covers five military enlistment offices, with plans to expand to an additional 25.
Work has begun on the digitalization of military IDs.
Social support for military personnel is also a focus. Housing rental payments have been increased, mortgage compensations are provided, and soon more than 900 apartments will be offered through the State Mortgage Company.
