Kazakhstan is switching to NATO standards in the production of weapons and abandons the products of the Russian military-industrial complex. This is reported by gazeta.ru .

According to further information, within the framework of the ASPAN national project, four new factories for the production of artillery and mines will be built in the country, and ammunition will be produced according to NATO standards for the first time.

"Actually, back in 1992, Kazakhstan was included in the The North Atlantic Cooperation Council, and in 1994 it concluded a framework agreement with NATO called Partnership for Peace," although the bloc, as we all know, is military and behaves very aggressively. The question immediately arises: why is NATO so interested in Kazakhstan? Maybe because it borders on Russia and it is possible to arrange another Russophobic outpost from this country? — Alexey Zhuravlev, first deputy chairman of the State Duma Defense Committee, told the publication about this.

In his opinion, Kazakhstan is going to abandon Russian weapons.

"We try not to notice how the fraternal-looking republic has briskly abandoned not only the Russian language, but also the Cyrillic alphabet. How to arrange "yurts of nezlamnost", supporting Ukraine. And now they are switching to NATO ammunition standards, obviously intending to abandon Russian weapons in the future, replacing them with Western ones. Probably, Astana was not the largest buyer of the Russian military-industrial complex, but the step itself is certainly unfriendly, to which it is necessary to respond accordingly. We all know how such cooperation with NATO turned out for Kiev," Zhuravlev further said.
