The high capabilities of the Peninsula Shield Forces “affirms the the GCC leaders’ special care to the joint Gulf defense regime.”
Al-Zayani said the six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries were keen on constant development and upgrading of the capabilities of the Peninsula Shield Forces to be always ready to counter foreign threats and protect the Gulf nationals.
He said the military drills in Kuwait was a qualitative leap. Al-Zayani also said the war games coincided with Kuwait’s 52nd National Day and 22nd Liberation Day.
The Peninsula Shield Forces concluded their drills earlier in the day with a mock occupation of the Failaka Island, where the Gulf troops deployed around the island to determine the positions of the enemy forces, and bombing their boats and aircraft.
