British Destroyer 'Dragon' Departs for Cyprus

The British destroyer 'Dragon' has departed from Portsmouth, England, heading to Cyprus to bolster the defense of British bases on the island. The ship is considered one of the most advanced in Europe in the field of anti-aircraft and anti-missile defense, equipped with advanced radar systems and missiles. The 'Dragon' has been deployed repeatedly in the Mediterranean, the Black Sea, and the Persian Gulf, participating in NATO operations and maritime security missions. Its arrival in Cyprus is expected in approximately one week.
