Developed and manufactured locally by Al Fattan Ship Industry, Tunb Al Kubra will be inducted into the UAE Navy to provide logistical support for naval formations, secure transport of naval personnel and supplies, and assist in medical evacuations during crises and emergencies.

The event runs alongside the International Defence Exhibition and Conference (Idex) at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre until February 24.
