The US has reportedly acquired 81 obsolete Soviet-era combat aircraft from Kazakhstan. According to Kyiv Post, the declared sale value was $ million in total with the average value for each plane being $19,300. The deal came after the Kazakh government advertised the sale of 117 fighter and bomber aircraft acquired when it was a part of the Soviet Union.

Kazakhstan has been gradually replacing its outdated fleet of Soviet-made combat aircraft with modern jets.
