Event Details
Operation Gulf Shield is a multinational special operations event taking place in the Arabian Gulf region, focused on simulating a large-scale air operation to secure the arrival of VIP flights to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This immersive mission will feature coordinated Fighter Escort, AWACS operations, and Combat Air Patrol (CAP) all orchestrated to simulate the arrival of high-level Gulf delegations attending a fictional GCC summit. Participants will fly a variety of military and special operations airframes, departing from key Gulf countries, with structured escort missions, intercepts at predefined meet points, and tactical coordination via ATC.
