The tournament, which begins on November 20, will be the first ever FIFA World Cup to be held in the Arab world, and only the second to be held entirely in Asia.
The final is scheduled for December 18, which also is Qatar’s National Day.
Qatar’s rapidly expanding air force is tasked with preventing any interference from the air, and its new Eurofighter Typhoons took on a quick reaction alert (QRA) commitment soon after the arrival of the first aircraft at Tamim Air Base, at Dhukan, on August 27 this year.
With the arrival of the first Typhoons, the QEAF now has three modern front-line fighters in service, having already inducted the F-15QA Eagle and Rafale.
