SRBMs: At its national day parade held in Doha 0n December 17, 2017, Qatar displayed two of its newly purchased SY 400/BP-12A Short Range Ballistic Missile (SRBM) launchers accompanied with two loaders. The Chinese SY-400 is typically mounted on an 8x8 Transporter-Erector-Launcher (TEL), like the one which was shown in the parade, is capable of carrying both BP-12A and SY-400 missiles. The BP-12A can carry a 480 kg conventional payload over a 280 km range, while the SY-400 can carry a 200 kg conventional payload over a 200 km range. The Qatari SY-400 launchers are appeared to be modified to carry two larger caliber BP-12A canisters instead of eight SY-400 canisters. The display of SY-400 launchers at the parade apparently represented an effort to demonstrate to the Saudi-UAE led bloc Qatar’s capabilities to resist pressure.

NB: In December 2017, the Qatari Minister of State for Defense Affairs signed a letter of intent (LoI) with Nexter for the procurement of up to 490 VBCI IFVs with a value of €2 Billion. But due to the crisis between Paris and Doha the decision on the procurement was frozen in November 2019. On December 18, 2018 a brand new KF-41 Lynx AIFV took part during the National Day Parade of Qatar Armed Forces, held in Doha, Qatar. It is believed that Rheinmetall sold unknown amount of KF-41 Lynx AIFVs to Qatar, with this sale Qatar becomes the first operator of the vehicle. On February 5, 2019 Turkish MoND Hulusi AKAR, formerly Chief of the Turkish General Staff, disclosed that Turkey has recently signed a contract with Qatar for the sale of FIRTINA Self Propelled Howitzers (SPHs). MoND AKAR did not share any figures about the number of FIRTINA SPHs (20 estimated) to be delivered to the Qatar Armed Forces. It is believed that the contract is covering the New Generation FIRTINA (also dubbed FIRTINA-II) SPHs, which are under production at the 1st Main Maintenance Factory Directorate located in the Sakarya province of northwest Turkey.
