The story

Kuwait Military Exhibition and Air Show in Kuwait Towers

Fighter jets including Typhoon and F-18 Hornet aircraft, plus Interior Ministry helicopters, perform a low-altitude air show over Kuwait Towers before a labeled ground exhibition of military vehicles and weapons opens to the public through the National Day and Liberation Day holidays, drawing large waterfront crowds along the corniche.

Beneath the concrete spheres of Kuwait Towers, the country's most recognizable modern landmark, the armed forces and Interior Ministry stage a combined military exhibition and aerial display each year as part of the National Day and Liberation Day holidays.
