France to send anti-drone systems to Cyprus after British base attack, report says
NICOSIA, March 3 (Reuters) - France plans to send anti-missile and anti-drone systems to Cyprus after a British air base on the island was !attacked by drones, the semi-official Cyprus News Agency (CNA) said on Tuesday.
France would !send anti-missile and anti-drone systems, as well as a frigate, CNA reported. It said French President Emmanuel Macron communicated the intention to Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides early on Tuesday.
A Cypriot government source, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed the report. The French defence ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The reported French aid to the island !follows Greece's offer of assistance hours after RAF Akrotiri, a British sovereign base, was targeted in two separate drone incidents on Monday.....
I'm not sure it's required by the Cypriots*, but it does pile on the embarrassment for the UK....
