Cyprus's Defense Strengthening through U.S. Support
January 18, 2025
The Republic of Cyprus is planning to enhance its air and sea defense capabilities through an agreement with the United States. The government is preparing a list of requests for military equipment, focusing on acquiring American helicopters and maritime vessels. Cyprus' strategy is linked to its geographic position and the interest it attracts from foreign powers. The cost of military material has been a challenge, but access to surplus U.S. equipment is seen as encouraging.
