Qatar



Qatar

Qatar
Capital: Doha?




Qatari military forces took part in the 1991 Battle of Khafji, fighting along side U.S. forces against Iraqi forces. The Qatari contingent was composed of mostly Pakistani recruits. The Qatari contingent that fought at Khafji was a tank unit composed of AMX-30 tanks.
Qatar also allowed U.S. forces to be stationed in the nation.

Aircraft from Qatar took part in the 2011 NATO led attacks on Libya.

2017- A Saudi led coalition imposes sanctions and a blockade on Qatar, alleging Qatar supports terrorists and has friendly relations with Iran.

Turkey had around 200 or so military personnel stationed in Qatar under a 2014 defense agreement. More Turkish soldiers were dispatched to Qatar after the Saudi led blockade and continued threats.
