The Russian Aerospace Forces have assisted Tajikistan with carrying out the spring conscription campaign.
According to information posted on the Russian Defense Ministry’s website, transport planes and helicopters the Russian Aerospace Forces have carried more than 1,000 Tajik conscripts to remote mountain areas.
IL-76s have reportedly carried conscripts in the Tajik northern Sughd province, while helicopters Mi-8 have carried conscripts to military units deployed in Khorog, the capital of the Gorno Badakhshan Autonomous Region (GBAO) and Murgab district in Gorno Badakhshan.
The Russian Defense Ministers notes that the flights have been operated at the request of the Tajik authorities as a complex road situation has emerged in Tajikistan because of mudslides and landslides caused by hot weather.
