A source-based profile of defence spending, procurement, forces, industry and partnerships. Open a section for short dated records, evidence and implementation status.
Historical active-duty armed-forces and qualifying paramilitary personnel, excluding reservists, from IISS The Military Balance as distributed by the World Bank. The indicator combines regular and paramilitary forces and uses estimates where exact numbers are unavailable. It does not measure readiness, mobilised strength or current force capability.
Historical estimates · latest observation 2020. Regular military and qualifying paramilitary personnel are combined; reserves are excluded. No later headcount or explanation of annual changes is inferred.
Military expenditure · share of GDP 1994–2018Coverage and method
SIPRI’s published military-budget observations as a percentage of GDP for the same calendar year. The country is marked as adopted budgets, rather than actual expenditure.
Historical adopted-budget observations with gaps, not verified execution. The isolated 2018 cell is highly uncertain and conflicts with SIPRI’s note that information stops in 2003. No current spending trend is inferred.
Published cell BT129; fraction multiplied by 100. Uzbekistan carries the adopted-budget marker. 2018 is an isolated observation; source footnote 54 still says no information since 2003.
Published cell AV129; fraction multiplied by 100. Uzbekistan carries the adopted-budget marker. No missing-year interpolation.
Military expenditure · share of government spending 1994–2018Coverage and method
SIPRI’s military-budget observations divided by general government expenditure for the financial year, shown as percentages. These are adopted-budget observations, not verified spending outturns.
Historical adopted-budget observations with gaps, not verified execution. The isolated 2018 cell is highly uncertain and conflicts with SIPRI’s note that information stops in 2003. No current spending trend is inferred.

US-funded sales cases · FMF · US fiscal years 2020–2024Coverage and method
DSCA-authorised net value of implemented FMF cases and amendments for Uzbekistan, in the U.S. financial year (1 October of the preceding calendar year to 30 September). FMF-funded cases are financed by U.S. government assistance and remain separate from partner-financed FMS. These are case implementation values, not physical deliveries, cash outlays or Uzbekistan military expenditure. DSCA FY2024 Historical Sales Book, primary report mirrored by SIPRI. Explicit published zeros are retained. Latest verified comparable breakdown: FY2020–FY2024; no later year is inferred. Pre-FY2023 report aggregates can include BPC/FAA and are not spliced into this series.
US-funded implemented case values, not physical deliveries, cash outlays or national defence spending. US fiscal years end in September. Baseline dots show published zeros; later years remain unavailable.

Regional border-security course completed
Completion reportedOfficial report
OSCE reports a five-day course for border and customs personnel at Uzbekistan’s National Canine Centre.
Details and sources
Fifteen officers from five Central Asian countries participated on 5–9 October. This is border-service training, not an army personnel total.
Embraer reported handing over Uzbekistan’s first C-390 at Gavião Peixoto in Brazil.
Details and sources
The ceremony marks manufacturer handover. The release says the late-2024 contract includes training, support and spares; it does not establish operational readiness in Uzbekistan.
The president approved measures for military digitalisation, personnel training and artificial-intelligence capabilities.
Details and sources
New digital-administration and satellite-communications structures are described as plans. The source separately reports an existing information-security monitoring centre.
Uzbekistan’s MoD reported the opening of DUSTLIK-2026 with Indian forces at Gurumsaray.
Details and sources
The Uzbek opening report is used for this date. Advance Indian and Uzbek notices give different scheduled end dates; neither is treated here as a verified completion date.
Embraer identified Uzbekistan as the previously undisclosed C-390 customer.
Details and sources
This is the customer-disclosure date, not the contract date. A later delivery release dates signing to late 2024; no precise signing day is established.
The presidency described Airbus helicopter servicing and Su-25 repair and modernisation at the Chirchik aircraft plant.
Details and sources
This is the inspection date, not the centre’s proven opening date. Manufacturer certification is reported by the presidency; no annual repair quantity is provided.
The president announced vocational training for conscripts, officer-bonus changes and a 10% pay rise for contract enlisted personnel.
Details and sources
Pay changes were scheduled from 1 April. The meeting also called for revising the Defence Doctrine; a directive is not recorded as an adopted replacement.

Fifth India–Uzbekistan defence working group
Completion reportedOfficial report
The fifth joint working group on defence cooperation met in New Delhi.
Details and sources
The event date is recorded retrospectively in India’s January 2026 bilateral brief. The brief does not establish a weapons purchase arising from the meeting.
The president approved proposals to create a Military Security and Defence University integrating military education institutions.
Details and sources
The release records approval and instructions for implementation on 29 July 2025. It does not establish that the university and every planned institutional change were already operational that day.
Expanded public-source history of legal foundations, forces, declared equipment transfers, industry and defence partnerships. Personnel estimates combine active military and qualifying paramilitary forces and stop in 2020. National budget laws checked for 2017–2026 do not identify a comparable standalone defence total. A 2018 regional fund is one-off financing, not the annual defence budget. SIPRI’s historical observations and US-funded or partner-funded sales cases remain separate measures. Official claims, intended purchases, contracts, displays and deliveries are distinguished. This is not a complete force inventory.
Method & coverage
This is a curated public-source reference, not a complete inventory. Each record identifies an event or publication date, implementation stage and evidence type; the detail explains which date is known. An official report establishes what the issuer said; a contract does not establish delivery, and delivery does not establish readiness. Unknown quantities remain unknown. Records count publications or developments, not weapons, personnel or military strength.
Official report
The issuing institution reports the event or figure; this is not independent corroboration.
Independently corroborated
Distinct independent evidence supports the specific recorded claim.
Estimate
A sourced estimate, with its method and limits retained.
Unresolved
The available evidence does not establish the specific point.
