“RAF Akrotiri is a British Overseas territory and not part of Cyprus. And as Britain is a NATO member it is a joint operating base for NATO.”
Thanks for that correction, Wilts. We all get things wrong sometimes, even though not all of us admit it.
This doesn’t render nwalton’s point any more valid: the RAF base is equipped with the latest technology and there is absolutely no need to endanger more British service personnel on the basis that one Iranian drone made it through the base’s defences.
It’s making a mountain out of a molehill.
