History
In December 1941, the Odessa Military Aviation Pilots School was relocated to Frunze, the capital of the Kirghiz Soviet Socialist Republic. Many graduates of the school were sent to form the 651th Fighter Aviation Regiment. In June 1947, the school was renamed the Frunze Military School of Pilots of the USSR Air Force. From 1945 to 1947, 2,573 fighter pilots were trained. In 1995, the school was renamed the Bishkek Military Aviation Airborne Technical School. Between 1994 and 2000, the school produced 535 senior officers for aviation specialties. On August 15, 2000, the Bishkek Military Aviation Aircraft Technical School was transformed into the Bishkek Higher Military School, and in 2005 it was renamed in honor Hero of the Soviet Union Lieutenant-General Kalyinur Usenbekov. In 2009, by the Decree of the President of the Kyrgyz Republic, the Bishkek Higher Military School was transformed into the Military Institute of the Armed Forces of the Kyrgyz Republic with a new training term of 5 years.[3][4]
