PanARMENIAN.Net - Russia and Kazakhstan are planning to set up a joint air-defense system in the very near future, a senior Russian military official said on Thursday, September 22.

"We already have such bilateral regional air-defense systems with Belarus and Armenia and in future we are planning to build a similar air-defense system with Kazakhstan," said Col. Gen. Valery Gerasimov, deputy chief of the General Staff of Russia's Armed Forces.
