This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Defense of Kazakhstan.
It was noted that the defense ministers of the five participating countries in the “Birlik-2024” international exercises observed the operation. During the training maneuvers, the military executed 17 tactical episodes aimed at detecting, blocking, and destroying illegal armed formations, which, according to the exercise scenario, sought to seize territory and establish a Caliphate state.
“The deployment of bandit formations was disrupted by artillery fire. Attacks by swarms of drones launched from enemy positions were repelled by servicemen using portable anti-aircraft missile systems and anti-aircraft installations in coordination with electronic warfare measures,” the ministry added.
