"Recently, the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation of the Russian Federation turned to the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Tajikistan with a request for the transfer of 220-mm rockets to the Uragan surface-to-air missile. The Russians are also interested in ammunition for the 203-mm Pion self-propelled guns and FTD-20 engines for IFV-1 and IFV-2, which are stored in large quantities in the military warehouses of Tajikistan," the message says.
In addition, retired military personnel and employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Tajikistan receive offers to sign a contract with the Russian Armed Forces and take part in the war against Ukraine.
