In military unit 5571 of the National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan, stationed in Almaty, four pairs of twin brothers are simultaneously serving their conscription—a phenomenon that can rightfully be called unique.

Twins in military service are already a rare occurrence, as even one pair drafted together is considered an exceptional coincidence. But for four pairs to end up in the same unit at once is a true phenomenon worthy of entering the history of the National Guard.

The first in this extraordinary story are Nurasyl and Yerasyl Zhamalkhan, natives of Turkistan region. Yet fate did not stop there. Along with them came Yerasyl and Nurasyl Uysynbay. Thus, in one unit, there now serve two Yerasyls and two Nurasyls. Commanders admit that sometimes even they find it difficult to distinguish who is who. But the brothers themselves take it with humor—saying that their double resemblance only strengthens their team spirit. Together they go on patrol and safeguard public order on the streets of the metropolis.

Yerdaulyet and Bakdaulyet Tulenov from Shymkent are another example of remarkable unity. They are mistaken for each other so often that even in the barracks, fellow soldiers joke: “We don’t have two fighters, we have one in two copies.” Once, a commander gave Yerdaulyet an assignment but took the report from Bakdaulyet without even noticing the switch. Yet in the army, this is more of an advantage: the twins insist that serving together is easier, as they understand each other without words.

And finally, the last pair completing this unique quartet are Salman and Magomed Uruzbiev from Zhezkazgan. Their decision to serve together is a story of true brotherly devotion. When Magomed was drafted, his brother Salman decided to join him. Today, they serve shoulder to shoulder, carrying out military tasks and admitting they never feel alone—because by their side is always someone they can trust unconditionally.

This rare story is an example of how fate brings people together in extraordinary ways. Four pairs of twins in one unit are no longer a coincidence but a real legend that will remain in the chronicles of the National Guard. And if one day, on the streets of the country’s cultural capital, you encounter a patrol with faces identical as two drops of water—do not be surprised. It may well be those very twin guardsmen who have already entered history.
