Cyprus: Unmanned Air Systems
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will list the counter drone capabilities that will be deployed to Cyprus.
- Answer
-
We do not comment on specifics, however, the Government has been increasing the counter-drone capability in Cyprus since January, through the addition of 400 personnel, Typhoon and F-35 jets, air defence missiles, and radar. HMS Dragon is on the way to the region, which will provide additional capability. We will keep the situation under constant review, but I cannot say more than this for operational security reasons.
