Last 27th October Turkmenistan celebrated 25 years of independence. Maybe you find surprising that certain republics celebrate their day in August and others later on. This is explained by the August 1991 coup in Moscow. Some republics like Ukraine proclaimed independence soon after, others waited a few months.
A parade celebrating the event was organised in Ashgabat, the capital. It was possible to see much of the equipment that the Armed Forces deploy. Nowadays an interesting combination of Western, Russian Ukrainian, Turkish and Chinese systems are used. Soldiers used Berettas ARX160, which do not match very well with the classic uniforms. A video of the ceremony can be found in youtube (link).
