Bishkek, September 17 (Xinhua) — The active phase of the command and staff exercise "Rubezh-2025" with the Collective Rapid Deployment Forces of the Central Asian Region (CRDF CAR) began in Kyrgyzstan on Wednesday, the press service of the Kyrgyz Ministry of Defense reported.
The exercises are being held at the Edelweiss training center and in the waters of Lake Issyk-Kul. The exercise scenario involves the preparation and conduct of combat operations by the CAR CRRF to destroy illegal armed groups that have invaded the territory of a Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) member state.
Military contingents from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan, and operational groups from the Joint Staff and the CSTO Secretariat are participating in the Rubezh-2025 exercises. A total of approximately 1,200 military personnel and 500 units of military and special equipment, including aircraft, helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles, and combat boats, are involved.
As CSTO Secretary General Imangali Tasmagambetov stated at the opening ceremony, the exercises are taking place in a complex international environment, where new hotbeds of tension are emerging and old conflicts are escalating in various regions of the world.
"Today, the Collective Rapid Deployment Forces are an important component of the Organization's troops/collective forces and must be prepared to respond promptly and adequately to emerging challenges and threats to national and collective security in the Central Asian region," I. Tasmagambetov emphasized.
The CAR CRRF, formed in 2001, comprises units and subdivisions of constant readiness equipped with modern weapons systems and military equipment. The CAR CRRF's primary missions are to participate in repelling external military aggression and conducting joint counter-terrorism operations.
