Kamchybek Tashiev inspects weapons and takes photo with missile system

The Chairman of the State Committee for National Security of Kyrgyzstan (SCNS), Kamchybek Tashiev, visited Tort-Kul village in Batken region, where a new military town for the 2053 Boru special forces unit of the State Committee for National Security’s Border Service was opened.

During the event, Kamchybek Tashiev inspected modern weapons, including a weapon similar to the Javelin anti-tank missile system, and took a photo with it.

Javelin is a modern portable anti-tank system developed in the USA. It can destroy tanks and armored vehicles at a range of up to 2.5 kilometers. The peculiarity of Javelin is that after launching the missile, the operator can step back — the missile itself finds the target.

As of now, there is no confirmed information regarding the delivery of Javelin systems to Kyrgyzstan.
