Ulan Primov: at the CSTO Rubezh-2025 Exercises in Kyrgyzstan, the CRDF CAR Demonstrate Professionalism and Unity

Rubezh-2025 command-and-staff exercises are taking place at the Edelweiss training ground and in the waters of Lake Issyk-Kul in Kyrgyzstan with the Collective Rapid Deployment Forces of the Central Asian Region (CRDF CAR).

The training scenario involves preparing and conducting combat operations to destroy illegal armed groups that have invaded the territory of a CSTO Member State.

About 1,200 servicemen and more than 500 pieces of equipment, including aircraft, helicopters, drones, and combatant crafts, are participating in the Rubezh-2025 exercises.

Ulan Primov, Chairman of the Committee on International Affairs, Defence, Security, and Migration of the Jogorku Kenesh of the Kyrgyz Republic, noted that the exercises are conducted on a high professional level.

"The CSTO Rubezh-2025 exercises in Kyrgyzstan demonstrate the high level of training and coordination of the Organization's collective forces. This is an important step in strengthening regional security, allowing for an effective response to modern challenges, including the fight against illegal armed groups and terrorism. Joint maneuvers like that contribute not only to increasing combat readiness, but also to strengthening trust between CSTO Member States," Ulan Primov underlined.

As you may recall, the CRDF CAR, formed in 2001, includes units and subunits of the armed forces on permanent alert, equipped with modern weapons and military equipment. The main tasks of the CRDF CAR involve participating in repelling external military aggression and conducting joint counter-terrorism operations.
