UK: Warship HMS Dragon Delayed in Arriving to Cyprus

The arrival of the British warship HMS Dragon in Cyprus will be delayed until next week, as it is still at the port of Portsmouth for provisioning. Officials explain that the preparation of a warship is a time-consuming process and the Dragon was chosen due to its readiness. Wildcat helicopters, armed with Martlet missiles, will reinforce the region’s defense within days. The Dragon will be used to protect the British base in Cyprus from unmanned aircraft and missiles.
