The Chief of the General Staff of the Ministry of Defense, Kari Fasihuddin Fitrat, wrote on Twitter:

“To protect the borders of the country in northeastern Afghanistan, powerful and professionally trained battalions equipped with modern NATO technology and support helicopters, including suicide squads, were redeployed to zero points last night. In case of the slightest threat from any neighboring country, a swift response will be given. Our army, our honor.”

Earlier, Kari Fasihuddin Fitrat also reported that “a powerful army of 10,000, armed to the teeth with the most modern NATO and U.S. systems, will be deployed in the northern and northeastern provinces of the country.”

Tajikistan and Uzbekistan have not yet officially responded to these Taliban threats.

Also, the Interfax agency reports that the Russian military base is conducting exercises in the mountains of Tajikistan using Mi-8MTV5-1 transport-combat helicopters and Mi-24 attack helicopters from the 201st military base’s aviation group.

It is reported that Russian military forces have strengthened the air defense of the 201st base in Tajikistan with long-range air defense systems. A division of S-300PS anti-aircraft missile systems (AO “Concern VKO “Almaz-Antey”) has taken up combat duty.
