UK warship not expected to set sail to Cyprus until next week | BBC News


HMS Dragon, a UK warship, is expected to sail from Portsmouth next week. It has just come out of maintenance and was earmarked to carry out a different mission before yesterday’s decision to send her to the eastern Mediterranean.

Dragon is currently being loaded with ammunition in Portsmouth but is not expected to sail towards Cyprus this week.

Two Royal Navy Wildcat helicopters, armed with Martlet missiles capable of shooting down drones, are expected to arrive in Cyprus separately and sooner.

British military experts have been sent to the Middle East region to provide allies with advice on air defences.

The experts have knowledge and experience gained from the war in Ukraine.
