story<\/div>\n<h2>Kant Air Base: what it was built for and what flies there now<\/h2>\n<div class=\"cols\">\n<div>\n<p>Kant lies in the Chuy valley about 20 kilometres east of Bishkek, south of the small town of Kant, whose name comes from the Kyrgyz word for sugar, after a 1930s sugar plant, not from the philosopher. It is the airfield where Soviet military flying in Kyrgyzstan put down its roots. The Odessa Military Aviation School, evacuated east after the German invasion of 1941, trained 1,507 pilots in the war; as the Frunze Military Aviation School for Pilots it went on, from 1956, to train foreigners, among them Hosni Mubarak and Hafez al-Assad, and from 1959 its Kant regiment served the 5th Central Courses, which by 1992 had trained 21,682 specialists from 54 countries, by TechInformPress&rsquo;s count.<\/p>\n<p>When the Courses left for Russia in 1992, Kyrgyzstan inherited the airfield and a fleet it could not fly; in 2006 TechInformPress counted 46 MiG-21s stored at Kant. Russia came back under a bilateral agreement of 22 September 2003: its 999th Air Base opened on 23 October 2003, according to Wikipedia the first new air base Russia had opened abroad since 1991, and it has flown Su-25 attack aircraft and Mi-8 helicopters ever since. A lease signed in 2012, in return for writing off 500 million dollars of Kyrgyz debt, runs for 15 years with an option of five more.<\/p>\n<p>The base is Russian, and Moscow presents it as part of the CSTO&rsquo;s collective forces; the US Congressional Research Service described it in 2013 as meant to combat regional terrorism and defend CIS borders but also to counter US and NATO influence. How much of Kyrgyzstan&rsquo;s own small helicopter and transport fleet is based here today is not settled in the sources: see the unit notes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<hr class=\"divider\">\n<section id=\"sat\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">Satellite<\/div>\n<h2>Kant from above<\/h2>\n<div class=\"satfig\" id=\"satfig\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Enlarge the satellite view\">\n<div class=\"satimg\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"Kant Air Base seen from above\"><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"satzoom\">Click to enlarge<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"satcap\"><b>No runway dimensions are recorded for this airfield.<\/b><span>Imagery: Esri, Maxar, Earthstar Geographics and the GIS user community<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"satlb\" id=\"satlb\"><span class=\"satlbx\">Close<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"satbig\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"Kant Air Base seen from above, enlarged\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<style>#mfam .satimg{background-image:url(\"https:\/\/server.arcgisonline.com\/ArcGIS\/rest\/services\/World_Imagery\/MapServer\/export?bbox=74.80097,42.83770,74.89203,42.86869\\26 bboxSR=4326\\26 imageSR=3857\\26 size=1600,743\\26 format=jpg\\26 f=image\")!important}#mfam .satbig{background-image:url(\"https:\/\/server.arcgisonline.com\/ArcGIS\/rest\/services\/World_Imagery\/MapServer\/export?bbox=74.80369,42.83228,74.88930,42.87412\\26 bboxSR=4326\\26 imageSR=3857\\26 size=2048,1365\\26 format=jpg\\26 f=image\")!important}@media(max-width:820px){#mfam .satimg{background-image:url(\"https:\/\/server.arcgisonline.com\/ArcGIS\/rest\/services\/World_Imagery\/MapServer\/export?bbox=74.82536,42.83770,74.86763,42.86869\\26 bboxSR=4326\\26 imageSR=3857\\26 size=760,760\\26 format=jpg\\26 f=image\")!important}}<\/style>\n<div id=\"sat-data\" data-js=\"KGZ1bmN0aW9uKCl7IHZhciBmPWRvY3VtZW50LmdldEVsZW1lbnRCeUlkKCdzYXRmaWcnKSwgYj1kb2N1bWVudC5nZXRFbGVtZW50QnlJZCgnc2F0bGInKTsgaWYoIWZ8fCFiKSByZXR1cm47IGZ1bmN0aW9uIG9wZW4oKXsgYi5jbGFzc0xpc3QuYWRkKCdvbicpOyBkb2N1bWVudC5ib2R5LnN0eWxlLm92ZXJmbG93PSdoaWRkZW4nOyB9IGZ1bmN0aW9uIHNodXQoKXsgYi5jbGFzc0xpc3QucmVtb3ZlKCdvbicpOyBkb2N1bWVudC5ib2R5LnN0eWxlLm92ZXJmbG93PScnOyB9IGYuYWRkRXZlbnRMaXN0ZW5lcignY2xpY2snLCBvcGVuKTsgZi5hZGRFdmVudExpc3RlbmVyKCdrZXlkb3duJywgZnVuY3Rpb24oZSl7IGlmKGUua2V5PT09J0VudGVyJ3x8ZS5rZXk9PT0nICcpeyBlLnByZXZlbnREZWZhdWx0KCk7IG9wZW4oKTsgfSB9KTsgYi5hZGRFdmVudExpc3RlbmVyKCdjbGljaycsIHNodXQpOyBkb2N1bWVudC5hZGRFdmVudExpc3RlbmVyKCdrZXlkb3duJywgZnVuY3Rpb24oZSl7IGlmKGUua2V5PT09J0VzY2FwZScpIHNodXQoKTsgfSk7IH0pKCk7\"><\/div>\n<p><script>(function(){var el=document.getElementById(\"sat-data\");var js=decodeURIComponent(escape(atob(el.getAttribute(\"data-js\"))));var sc=document.createElement(\"script\");sc.text=js;document.body.appendChild(sc);})();<\/script><hr class=\"divider\">\n<section id=\"glance\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">At a glance<\/div>\n<h2>Kant Air Base in numbers<\/h2>\n<div class=\"specgrid three\">\n<div class=\"spectable\">\n<h4>Location &amp;

After Germany invaded the Soviet Union on 22 June 1941, the Odessa Military Aviation School was evacuated to Kyrgyzstan, and Wikipedia records that it turned out 1,507 pilots during the war, seven of whom became Heroes of the Soviet Union. In 1947 it was renamed the Frunze Military Aviation School for Pilots, after the city now called Bishkek, and a training aviation regiment was formed in 1951&ndash;1952.<\/p>\n<p>From 1956 the school took foreign students, and that is where Kant&rsquo;s unusual reputation comes from. Wikipedia names Egypt&rsquo;s future president Hosni Mubarak, Syria&rsquo;s Hafez al-Assad and India&rsquo;s Air Chief Marshal Dilbagh Singh among its graduates. In 1959 the regiment passed to the 5th Central Courses for Preparation and Improvement of Aviation Personnel, the Soviet Union&rsquo;s school for foreign military aviators. TechInformPress says the 322nd regiment formed at Kant that year on MiG-15s; ww2.dk has it at Kant from 1952, with a question mark, and lists MiG-17s and finally MiG-21bis. An L-39 squadron from the 349th regiment in Kazakhstan flew here too.<\/p>\n<p>By 1992, TechInformPress counts, the Courses had trained 21,682 specialists from 54 countries. Kyrgyzstan still marks Military Aviation Day on 18 August, dating it from the 1959 regiment; at the 52nd anniversary in 2011, RFE\/RL&rsquo;s Azattyk reported, staff of the Russian base at Kant and of the US Transit Center at Manas both came.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"ddet\">\n<summary><span class=\"dn\">02<\/span><span>1992: the school leaves, the aircraft stay<\/span><span class=\"dx\">Read<\/span><\/summary>\n<div class=\"dbody\">\n<p>On 1 January 1992, ww2.dk records, the Kant regiment was taken over by Kyrgyzstan. The people did not stay with it: TechInformPress says most of the permanent staff and the training equipment of the 5th Central Courses moved to Kurgan in Russia that year. What remained was a large fleet of MiG-21s, L-39s and helicopters and a small new state with no money to fly them.<\/p>\n<p>Much of it was sold, but much stayed on the ground. TechInformPress counted 46 MiG-21s at Kant in 2006, all of them in storage, and by mid-2019 two An-26s and two Mi-24s were stored there as well. Which airfield the new Kyrgyz air arm really flew from is less clear than it sounds: ww2.dk says the Kyrgyz successor unit moved from Kant to Frunze-1 in Bishkek in 2003, while English Wikipedia&rsquo;s article on the Armed Forces says all military aircraft are at Kant.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"ddet\">\n<summary><span class=\"dn\">03<\/span><span>Russia comes back: the 999th Air Base<\/span><span class=\"dx\">Read<\/span><\/summary>\n<div class=\"dbody\">\n<p>The United States opened its base at Manas, on the other side of Bishkek, on 16 December 2001. Russia answered at Kant. Wikipedia dates the bilateral agreement to 22 September 2003 and the official opening to 23 October 2003, and calls it the first new air base Russia had opened abroad since 1991; a 2013 report by the US Congressional Research Service instead dates the basing agreement to 2002, with rent of 4.5 million dollars a year.

The CRS reported that the rent stayed unchanged. A separate military-technical agreement, Wikipedia says, was worth about 1 billion dollars in Russian arms.<\/p>\n<p>TechInformPress counted 15 Russian Su-25s and two Mi-8s at Kant in mid-2019. As of February 2023, Wikipedia lists Su-25SM attack aircraft, Mi-8MTV-5-1 helicopters, Orlan-10 drones and military police and traffic police units. Wikipedia&rsquo;s list of Russian bases abroad gives the base the military unit number 20022, and its article on the 14th Air and Air Defence Forces Army puts it directly under that army. These are Russian aircraft: the Su-25s that flew at Kyrgyzstan&rsquo;s own 60th anniversary air parade in August 2019 were not Kyrgyz, because Kyrgyzstan has none.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<hr class=\"divider\">\n<section id=\"timeline\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">Timeline<\/div>\n<h2>Kant, year by year<\/h2>\n<div class=\"tl\">\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1941<\/div>\n<p>The Odessa Military Aviation School is evacuated to Kyrgyzstan; 1,507 pilots are trained there during the war.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1947<\/div>\n<p>Renamed the Frunze Military Aviation School for Pilots.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1956<\/div>\n<p>Foreign pilots begin training, among them Hosni Mubarak and Hafez al-Assad.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1959<\/div>\n<p>August: the Kant regiment passes to the 5th Central Courses; TechInformPress dates the 322nd regiment at Kant, on MiG-15s, to this year.
