Maybe get the bases off Cyprus and we won’t have to worry about drones?
Edit for the colonialists defending the bases: enjoy getting British people bodied abroad for a war that’s none of our business.
Just put enough GBAD in place for the love of god.
Then buy enough for the rest of our force. This is entirely predictable
Didn’t we leave our Cyprus base almost defenceless? Why did we have no navel assets in the region? Two aircraft carrier groups, both of which are in port, I know our military are deeply under funded but surely that is just piss poor planning.
So all the right leaning papers and news sources leading with almost the exact word for word story and headline today, i find that very very interesting, its almost like some one with the money and power is paying them to say it.
Everyone talking about Russia attacking Cyprus, stop, please stop because you are making yourselves look stupid.
I am telling you as a Cypriot, Cyprus would be one of the last places on Earth Russia would attack.
To begin with there is a very sizable Russia Population living in Cyprus and secondly Russia has spent the last decade heavily investing in Cyprus.
Russia has supported Cyprus Politically, Financially and Military for decades, long before Putin came to power.
Russia has always stood by our sides when it comes to Turkey, our religion is the same.
They call Limassol Little Russia for a reason.
So no, there is practically zero risk of Russia ever targeting Cyprus.
Let me put it this way, if you gave Cypiots a choice between getting rid of the British Bases and replacing them with Russian Bases the vast majority would choose Russian in a heart beat.
You might not like it but that is the truth and always has been.
