Kazakhistan Engineering is the sole biggest institute which Kazakh government charged/to be charged officially to carry out almost all military industrial development/upgrding activities in Kazakhistan. Thanks to groving relations between brother states Kazakh-Turks, Lots of strategic cooperation agreements signed between Turkish institutes and Kazakh Engineering. At signiture ceremonies, Most of Kazakh governmental officials along with Turkey's PM and Undersecretariat for Turkish defence industry is also participated.
Most probably, The desperation level of you make you blind to realize the importance of Turk-Kazakh deals signed but Let me tell you the importance of them for Kazakh Armed forces and industrial efforts.
According to deal, Aselsan agreed on transfering lots of technologies to JV institute established in Astana. I am not talking about selling some toys with a simple deal for Kazakhistan. I mean Kazakhistan becomes more self reliance to develop/upgrade own fleets without asking foreign help/direct order deals. Kazakhistan engineering that is charged/to be charged to perform all current/future duties, will carry out all those activities based on own manufacturing lines. Aselsan and Otokar are establishing new production brends for KE and share many technologies for it.
Kazakhistan Engineering will not only manufacture the technologies for domestic needs, you called as "LCD" transfered by Turkish institutes, but also export them for Kazakhistan's friend countries as well. What are those technologies Kazakhistan engineering obtained from Turks ?
-Avionic and communication technologies: (Production have been commenced in Astana and first production will be made for new ordered Kazakhistan's EC-145 helicopters). After this deal, Kazakhistan will integrate/upgrade own military/civilian platforms with own manufactured avionic/communication systems for all military/civilian helicopters. KE will export those tech. for friend countries as well. While latest tec "intelligent and light weight" avionics are under production phase in Kazakhistan, You really suppose that Kazakhistan will beg Russia to order some equivalent systems for own platforms ? Pay attention: KE is the sole institute charged to perform all those activities and KE under the direction of Kazakh officials selected Turkish institutes...After this deal, Forget to sell any Avionic and comm. systems for Kazakhistan my friend...
-Termal sights, fire Control Systems: Aselsan is trasnfering all the technologies developed until now. Piton, Boa, Asir, Gozcu, Volkan-1,2,3 FCS technologies and Kazakhistan Engineering will manufacture all those in home, upgrade own platforms with own manufactured devices/systems and export them for Kazakh' friend countries as well. I am not talking about turkey which will upgrade Kazakhistan's russian origin tanks. Kazakhistan will fulfill all those activities thanks to own production brands. At this aspect, While latest tec thermal sights, fire control systems are under production phase in Astana, You really suppose that Kazakhistan will beg Russia to order some equivalent systems for own platforms ? You are in a deep failure my friend...
No need to mention many other systems KAE will manufacture for domestic and export markets...
