Pilot of Military Unit 3656 of the National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Berikbolsyn Khabibolla, serves as an aircraft commander. His total flight time exceeds 900 hours.
From the ninth grade, the future major studied at a flight training and technical school in the city of Astana, where he gained his first experience in operating an aircraft. He later continued his education at the Civil Aviation Academy in Almaty.
During his studies, the young pilot also had the opportunity to undergo international practical training. He completed internships in Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia, as well as in Germany and Spain.
— The sky does not forgive mistakes. It demands discipline, composure, and complete readiness. Every takeoff teaches you to be even more attentive. From the moment you take your seat in the cockpit, you and the aircraft become a single mechanism, — says the law-enforcement forces pilot.
The professional path of the aviator is not limited to training flights. He has repeatedly carried out missions under conditions posing real threats to human life.
During the devastating earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, Major Berikbolsyn Khabibolla took part in missions carried out on the instructions of the President. As part of the aviation crew of Military Unit 3656, he delivered humanitarian aid to emergency zones six times.
For the courage demonstrated under extreme conditions, the guardsman was awarded the medal “For Combat Valor” (Zhauyngerlik Erligi Ushin).
It should be emphasized that National Guard pilots remain faithful to their duty and service to the Motherland under all circumstances. Since the establishment of Military Unit 3656, its aviation crews have transported more than 100,000 people and over 8 million tons of cargo.
Pilots like Berikbolsyn Khabibolla serve daily in the skies, ensuring the security of the country and confirming the reliability of its aerial shield.
