By 2018 the military fleet of Kazakhstan will have been equipped with a total of 8 C-295 aircraft”, the statement elaborates. Under the MoU, Airbus Military is to provide the Kazakh side with all the maintenance guidelines so that the Kazakh military could maintain С-295 aircraft on their own.

It is extremely effective in operating in austere, remote airfields, and in adverse weather conditions and has exceptionally low fuel-consumption. The C-295 is the only tactical transport aircraft in its category in service with the Armed Forces of more than 10 countries: proven experience in many different missions: humanitarian response, long deployments in remote areas, logistic missions.
