The Al Ain International Airport was turned into a Hollywood movie-like scene recently, as the UAE Armed Forces demonstrated war-engagement skills, remarkable military power, rapid intervention and security operations to combat terror attackers, during a military show.
The third edition of the Union Fortress took place in Al Ain on Saturday, with thousands of visitors - mostly Emirati families, military and action-force enthusiasts - getting treated to impressive, captivating movie-style show.
Mock bomb blasts, gunfire and shooting from the modern artilleries, military tanks, fighting jets and helicopters were witnessed at the unique show, as the armed forces demonstrated how they fight the enemy on the battlefield.
Sounds of military artilleries, smoke, fire and sand dusts covered the area as UAE's dedicated soldiers showed field experiences and their modern equipment to nationals and residents.
Union Fortress 3, open to the general public, involved several events including a military show that showcased different formations and units of the armed forces highlighting the harmony among them, in addition to carrying out field operations, such as live raids, showcasing the UAE Armed Forces' combat capabilities while performing internal security operations.
Also part of the show was a scene where a VIP convoy was attacked by terrorists and the guards had to handle the situation swiftly and safely. In the scene, a man was engaged after he threw a briefcase containing a bomb near a house where VIPs had just entered. A sniffer dog chased the man after detecting the bomb and stopped him, as soldiers followed to catch him. As a robotic tanker diffused the bomb, more attackers invaded the place and there was an exchange of gunfire between the soldiers and the terrorists, but the VIP convoy was taken away safely after the force killed the attackers.
In another scene, an aerial reconnaissance using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was demonstrated as well as the opening of a command post compromising multi-armed forces.
