Next up is Kyrgyzstan, which is a clear weak link when it comes to security in Central Asia. The country has no naval assets and only six military aircraft – all of them being combat helicopters. The only area that Kyrgyzstan has some strength in is its fleet of armored fighting vehicles, but that alone is not enough to help raise a strong armed forces.
