You have been repeatedly reverting edits on the active inventory of the Kazakh Air Force despite the presence of multiple sources indicating that you are mistaken.
Using the following sources for the information that follows: 1. The Military Balance: 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 editions. 2. World Air Forces, 2010, 2011/12, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 editions.
Cross-referencing these over the different editions shows that the Kazakh Air Force only operated a total of 2 MiG-23, 12 MiG-27, 14 MiG-29, 31 MiG-31, 13 Su-24, 24 Su-27, 23 Su-30, and 14 Su-25s in recent years.
In this, we have sufficient sources which mention that a large number of aircraft and helicopters (117 in total) were put up for auction last year, and were reported as being unserviceable and unfit for further service. Further, using sources mentioning the sale of 81 aircraft recently along with the aircraft types mentioned, the total comes out to 31 MiG-31s + 14 MiG-29s + 12 MiG-27s + 13 Su-24s + 2 MiG-23s plus some helicopters.
Even if the news of this sale is discounted, the aircraft have still been put on auction, and by dint of the aforementioned news sources, the aircraft have been retired and are unfit for further service, thereby excluding them from the Kazakh Air Force's active inventory. Moreover, using the sources mentioned for aircraft numbers, these aircraft put on auction would be the only ones of those types Kazakhstan would have. That is, for instance, Kazakhstan put all 12 of their MiG-27s on auction, and those were the only aircraft of that type they had.
I have reverted your edit for the time being, and mentioned for this message here. Please respond here if you think my calculations are wrong. Please also support any such assertion with relevant sources. R Anant ( talk) 17:41, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
