The Gulf state’s military spendings reached $11.6 billion last year, making it one of the top spenders in the Arab world.

Qatar’s Ministry of Defense (MOD) on Thursday received the Al Shamal training ship, one of the largest of its kind in the world.

The training ship was first inaugurated in February at the headquarters of Anadolu Shipyard in a ceremony attended by Qatar’s Minister of State for Defense Affairs Khalid bin Mohammed Al Attiyah.

During the annual Doha International Maritime Defence Exhibition & Conference (DIMDEX) in 2018, the Qatar Emiri Naval Forces (QENF) ordered two cadet training ships from Turkey’s shipbuilder, Anadolu Shipyard.

Qatar is almost amusing at this point.
