Tajik army and our 201st military base near the Afghanistan live as if tomorrow June 22
Tajikistan feverishly preparing for war. Alas, every day more news, which show that's about it.
In mid-March on the territory of the republic have been simply enormous for such a small country military exercises on the border with Afghanistan (total length of over 1,300 kilometers) and throughout the Khatlon region. In maneuvers attended immediately 50 thousand people. Not only soldiers and officers, but also an urgent call from the stock reserves. In addition, representatives of the Ministry of Defense of Tajikistan went through the villages and encouraged local people to voluntarily participate in an event.
Spokesman for the defense ministry Faridoon Mahmadaliev commented: "When possible attacks in their reflection will be used as reservists. It is the population of border areas should be ready for these actions and these scientists have identified their level of readiness. "
In June of last year in the same Khatlon region have already passed such maneuvers. However, a much more modest scale - to training fights brought ten times fewer people. But among them were the first female soldiers, which is rare for Central Asian countries. Then it was announced that the main task of the exercise - training "to repel attacks from the outside."
The maneuvers were held at the site, which is a landmark name - Armageddon. His Tajik military continue to equip together with the staff of the Russian 201st military base. Which, incidentally, is also seriously preparing for battle. At the end of last year the base was significantly enhanced new military equipment, including hundreds of brand new BTR-82, supplemented with personnel and with the brigade translated into a divisional structure. That is, its battalions began shelves.
At the same time on the territory of the 201st military base finalized the first 350 junior technicians for the Armed Forces of Tajikistan. In February, for classes started driver, gunner and gunner T-72 tanks, infantry fighting vehicles BMP-2 and BTR-80 from allied countries. Last weekend they were handed documents about the end of month and a half courses.
In addition, at the local landfill Lyaur led by Russian officers instructors finalized Tajik commander and gunner multiple launch rocket systems "Grad". Their training is designed for three months.
Since February, Tajik border guards translated into high state border protection.
A few days ago the Russian media, citing an unnamed source in the Russian General Staff said that Moscow decided to provide military assistance to Tajikistan for a total amount of 70 billion rubles ($ 1.2 billion). A lot or a little?
The law on the budget of Tajikistan for this year in the "defense spending" stands marked "Do not Print".That in itself is suggestive. Because first of these figures in Dushanbe was called without problems.
For instance, it is known that in 2013 the military budget of the republic was paltry $ 170 million. A year earlier - 112 million. Which allowed the very least contain the local army of 8.8 thousand. Soldiers and officers, grouped into three motorized infantry, artillery and one single air assault brigade of the Land Forces, as well as - in the helicopter regiment of the Air Force.
Now, it turns out, Moscow is ready to bestow Dushanbe arms and military equipment to the amount already in seven of the defense budgets of the country as of 2013. Of course, not once, not one year. But still such a large-scale solution requires explanation.
However, it is at the surface as the roar of training yet increasingly heard shots near the border with Afghanistan, then in Moscow and Dushanbe strike waiting there. Moreover, this threat - not simply the consequence of leaving the river Panj Americans and their allies. The evacuation of the coalition of NATO from Afghanistan by the end of last year, has long been known. It has long been clear that the emergence of the military-political vacuum in Central Asia immediately try to fill the extremist Taliban.
Ready for it and in Dushanbe and Moscow. But the reality was much worse. In Afghanistan, showed up much more radical supporters of the so-called "Islamic State" *. And announced that open in Central Asia "third front". Along with Syria and Iraq.
The other day, Russian Deputy Defense Minister Anatoly Antonov commented: "We see how they begin to reap the southern borders of our allies, first of all CSTO countries, Tajikistan." And further: "We see what is happening in Afghanistan, as there is not an easy situation. We see how the reformatting of various terrorist organizations. "
A Russian Ambassador to Tajikistan Igor Lyakin-Frolov their views on the new grave danger stated: "In Northern Afghanistan is the concentration of insurgents" Taliban "is confirmed by reliable sources. There is evidence that in this region there are even small cell until the "Islamic state." How serious is their role now, is difficult to define, but, nevertheless, they're stronger. "
And, judging by incoming reports, the first of militants "IG" undergone it Taliban. Even these violent extremists believe aliens radical enough and too merciful "fighters for global caliphate."
Back in January, the Afghan Army Gen. Mahmood Khan said that the largest province by area of Afghanistan - Helmand - situated in the south, a Mullah Abdul Rauf recruit fighters. So far - to be sent to Syria and Iraq. He and hundreds of his henchmen are spreading among the local population specially published for Afghans promotional brochure "We will invaders or martyrs."
Moreover, even controlling some areas of the province, the Taliban have warned local residents from contact with Rauf.
By the way, this is the same Rauf, who from 1996 to 2001, he was the commander of the body is the Taliban.Americans arrested immediately after the invasion of Afghanistan. For many years sitting in the famous prison in Guantanamo Bay. Then somehow released into the wild. Immediately went to fight in Syria. This time - in the ranks of "IG".
According to Rauf, the positions of the Taliban and the "Islamic state" a lot in common. But there are significant differences, "IG" is much more radical. So, from the point of view of the mullahs - righteousness.
Probably a split among the Islamists could be used in the fight against the most cruel of them. But the trouble is that among the Taliban about the "Islamic State" is no unity. Anyway, part of the movement "Taliban", acting on the territory of Pakistan, has hastened to assure the growing in Central Asia, "Islamic state" in their complete loyalty. In a statement, the Pakistani Taliban, published in Urdu, Pashto and Arabic, said: "All the Muslims of the world lay great hopes on you ... We are with you, we will provide you with all the forces and fighters will support you."
If the point of view of the Pakistani Taliban will win, "IG" in Afghanistan instantly get tens of thousands of heavily armed thugs. Given the fighters that are fighting now in Syria and Iraq, it will horde.
According to Ivan Safranchuk, associate professor of global political processes MGIMO Russia, the general mobilization reserve of professional fighters for the triumph of "global caliphate" can be about 100 thousand people. Of these, 10-15 thousands of professional, trained and combat experience of terrorists. Agree with them is impossible. You can only fight.
If this army will move across the river Panj, it will be difficult to stop. Although the Tajik army, though Russia's 201st military base. That's such a turn of events, judging by coming from Tajikistan and Afghanistan, reports, and preparing in Moscow and Dushanbe. Judging by the pace that is being prepared, it can be assumed that the worst is just around the corner.
