Permit or not
A recent trip was planned over the 'stans and at one point routes MIRVI A237 USIMO over a pretty chunky finger of Kyrgyztan landmass. The route analysis shows purely Tajik and Uzbek FIRs and the Kyrgys never responded further after an initial acknowledgement of our request.
So, accepting that it's always better to have one than not, has anyone got any bright ideas how to tackle this? And particularly has anyone flown this segment and needed/not a Kyrgy permit?

Others may disagree, but IMHO a delegated / nonexistent FIR for a country does not mean you can avoid getting a permit for said country. If you overfly the landmass of a country, unless there is some special arrangement in place (Central America FIR, parts of Mali / west Africa, etc) you need a permit.
I don't know if such arrangement exists for Kyrgyzstan.... sorry
