Cyprus: HMS Dragon
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether DragonFire will be installed on HMS Dragon for its deployment to Cyprus.
- Answer
-
As the Chief of Defence Staff has said, following Iran’s reckless retaliation, recommended last Tuesday that HMS Dragon should be deployed. Ministers then signed this off immediately.
HMS Dragon will be armed with the necessary available capabilities to meet the operational need and will remain in the region for as long as required to meet our objectives.
