PARATROOPERS  PADOBRANSKE JEDINICE

      Padobranske snage formirane su grupiranjem 35. gardijske zračno-jurišne brigade s novim brigadama formiranim iz prethodnih sovjetskih jedinica. 35. gardijska zračno-jurišna brigada stigla je iz Njemačke početkom 1991. godine, a Kazahstan ju je preuzeo 1992. godine. 1998. godine iz bivše skladišne ​​baze stvorene su dvije motorizirane pješadijske brigade. Jedan od njih je ostavljena u blizini Karagande, a drugi nazvana 2. samostalna motorizirana pješadijska brigada premještena je 200 kilometara sjevernije od Astane. Krajem 2003. godine osnovana je 36. samostalna avio-jurišna brigada na bazi 2. mehanizirane pješadijske brigade. Na temelju mehaniziranog pješadijskog puka Taldykorgan, 173. mehanizirane pješadijske brigade Sary Ozekskoy, počekom 2003. godine formirana je 37. samostalna avio-jurišna brigada.

The 35th Guards Air Assault Brigade arrived from Germany in April 1991, and was taken over by Kazakhstan in 1992. In 1998 two motorized rifle brigades were created from the former storage base. One of which was left near Karaganda, and another called 2nd Separate Motor Rifle Brigade and was relocated 200 kilometers to the north of Astana, which by that time was the capital, and for that reason ought to have a decent court garrison. In October 2003, the 36th Separate Air Assault Brigade was formed on the basis of the 2nd Motor Rifle Brigade. On the basis of Taldykorgan Motor Rifle Regiment, 173rd Sary Ozekskoy Motor Rifle Division, in April 2003 was formed the 37th Separate Air Assault Brigade.
