This study examines the semantic features of military-technical terms in English and Uzbek from a comparative perspective. The research focuses on the semantic structure and lexical-semantic organization of specialized military vocabulary. Particular attention is paid to monosemy, synonymy, terminology formation, and the influence of context on meaning. The analysis demonstrates that military-technical terminology tends toward precision because professional communication requires clear identification of specialized concepts. At the same time, English and Uzbek differ in their ways of naming and representing military concepts. English frequently uses compact technical forms, abbreviations, and international terms, while Uzbek may employ translated or explanatory combinations. The findings can contribute to the development of bilingual military terminology and more consistent terminology standardization.
