Turkey Deploys Artillery to Qatar
The Qatari ministry of defence (MoD) announced on 18 July that a sixth batch of Turkish troops had arrived in the country, and released photographs of a T-155 Fırtına self-propelled howitzer being unloaded from a Qatari C-17 transport aircraft at Al-Udeid Air Base.
This is the first time Turkish artillery has been seen in Qatar, although the MoD released photographs of the first two deployments that arrived in June, showing the units with ACV-15 armoured personnel carriers.
