Saydulla Abdukuddusovich Madaminov is a retired Uzbek colonel who served as the 4th Commander of Uzbekistan Air and Air Defence Forces from 2001 to 2003.[1][2]
Early life and education
From 1974 to 1978, Madaminov studied at the Yeisk Higher Military Aviation Institute (EVVAUL).[3]
Upon graduation, he was sent to the Transbaikal Military District where he joined the 23rd Air Army, first at Step, and then at Dzhida in 1980. In 1982, he was promoted to flight commander.[4]
In 1983, he was transferred to Brand Airbase in East Germany to join the GSFG. By 1987, he became a squadron leader.[1][3]
From late 1988 till mid-1991, he studied for an additional military degree at the Gagarin Air Force Academy in Monino. Upon accomplishing his second tertiary qualification, he was sent to continue his Soviet military service at the Turkestan Military District. In the summer of 1991, he arrived at the Khanabad Air Base where he became the Chief of Staff and the First Deputy to the Commander of the 735th Aviation Regiment.[5]
Career
Following the collapse of the USSR, by 1993, the Soviet military authority had faded away in Uzbekistan. Madaminov was appointed the Commander of the 735th Aviation Regiment, which in August 1995 was renamed the 60th Aviation Regiment of the newly formed Uzbekistan Air and Air Defence Forces. Khanabad Air Base by far became the largest air force base in the country.[6]
In the mid-90s, the Uzbek Air Force became embroiled in the Tajik Civil War where Madaminov personally carried out over 120 sorties targeting the Islamist extremists. In the late 90s, he participated in military operations for neutralizing the IMU fighters who had taken over some mountainous areas in the northern Surxondaryo region and launched an incursion into the Batken and Osh regions of Kyrgyzstan.[7]
In March 1999, the Ministry of Defence of Uzbekistan transferred Madaminov to the capital Tashkent where he was promoted to the Deputy Commander of the Uzbek Air and Air Defence Forces. In October 2001, by decree of President Islam Karimov, Madaminov was appointed the Commander of the Uzbekistan Air and Air Defence Forces. He remained in that role until late 2003. After that, he was transferred to become a senior military advisor and inspector for the Ministry of Defence of Uzbekistan. In August 2007, he retired from the military.[8]
Post military services
In 2014, Madaminov became the Deputy Head of Gosavianadzor for the North Caucasian Federal District. Working from the Mineralnye Vody Airport, he remained in that position until late 2021. After that, he fully retired from all aviation work and moved back to Uzbekistan.[9]
