Baza Kant nalazi se u blizini zračne baze Manas koju vode SAD, a koju su vlasti Kirgistana ranije ove godine odlučile zatvoriti, nakon što je Rusija pristala njihovoj zemlji dati kredita i drugu pomoć u iznosu od preko 1,5 milijarde eura.
The Kant base is near the US-operated Manas Airbase, which the Kyrgyz authorities decided earlier this year to shut down after Russia agreed to give their country more than 1.5 billion euros in loans and other assistance.
