The live-fire exercise involved all specialized units of the Egyptian Armed Forces, and was supervised by Defense Minister Abdel-Meguid Saqr and Chief of the General Staff, Lieutenant General Ahmed Khalifa, along with many senior military leaders and commanders.

The exercise simulated a variety of complex attack and defense scenarios against potential threats, involving coordination between naval, air defense, electronic, chemical and air force forces.

Accordingly, the air defense force repelled simulated enemy airstrikes, protecting the Gamal Abdel Nasser helicopter carrier and its escorts by launching Avenger missiles, Harpoon surface-to-surface missiles and many other types of artillery at the enemy.

In addition, the Suleiman Ezzat-class missile boat joined the air defense formation to repel enemy air attacks. The submarine conducted reconnaissance to detect hostile units.

Apache helicopters then conducted airstrikes on targets identified by the submarine.

The Air Force coordinated with the helicopter carrier Gamal Abdel Nasser and other warships to deploy a scenario to attack coastal targets.
