UK Deploys Warship and Helicopters to Cyprus After RAF Base Drone Attack

British Warship and Helicopters Deployed to Cyprus After Drone Attack on RAF Base

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced that the United Kingdom will send a warship to Cyprus as a demonstration of its unwavering support for its security. This comes after a drone attack on the Royal Air Force base at Akrotiri on Sunday evening, which Starmer described as “a deeply concerning example of the dangerous and indiscriminate attacks being carried out by Iran and its proxies across the region.”

Starmer stated that a Type 45 air defense destroyer, one of the most capable air defense vessels in the world, will be deployed to the eastern Mediterranean to help defend the region. Additionally, the UK will deploy two Wildcat helicopters later this week.

The British Ministry of Defence confirmed the deployment of the aircraft carrier HMS Dragon and two Wildcat anti-drone helicopters to the eastern Mediterranean to bolster British defenses in the region.

British Defence Secretary John Healey said, “We are moving quickly to strengthen our defensive presence in the eastern Mediterranean.”
