Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will list the counter drone capabilities that will be deployed to Cyprus.

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.
