The anti-aircraft shield of Athens and Nicosia is causing concern in the neighboring country.
The Milliyet newspaper writes about the “arrival of the first batch of IRON DOME in ‘Southern Cyprus'”: The first batch of parts (components) of the Israeli air defense system “Iron Dome” arrived in ‘Southern Cyprus’ and that the Greek Cypriot army activated the delivered system. The government of the “TRDBK” stated that “the Greek Cypriot side is increasing the tension”.
‘South Cyprus’ (Republic of Cyprus) also expects to receive combat helicopters from France in the near future, while at the same time procedures are underway to purchase new tanks to replace the Russian T-80 tanks.
And Greece will buy Israel’s Iron Dome.
About a month ago, the Minister of National Defense of Greece, Nikos Dendias, announced the investment for air defense in the Hellenic Parliament.
Sözcü writes: “Greece and ‘South Cyprus’ equip the Aegean and the Mediterranean with Israel’s Iron Dome. ‘South Cyprus’ (Republic of Cyprus) has started to install the Iron Dome on the island which it bought from Israel. In addition, it is noted that it will be fully compatible with the Iron Dome that Greece is building in parallel with the Israelis.”
GazeteDuvar writes: “Israeli defense system: ‘Iron Dome’ is being installed in ‘Southern Cyprus’.” Sigma TV, which broadcasts in Cyprus, claimed that the first parts of the Israeli-made air defense system, which is similar to the “Iron Dome”, were installed in ‘South Cyprus’.
