Barak MX system being transferred to South Cyprus piece by piece

The Greek Cypriot Administration has begun transferring the Israelimade Barak MX air defense system to South Cyprus in phases.

According to a report in a Greek Cypriot newspaper, the second batch of the system has already been delivered.

The paper noted that the system will only become operational once all of its components have been transported and assembled on the island.

The gradual deployment of the Barak MX system underscores the ongoing militarization efforts of the Greek Cypriot side, drawing attention to regional security dynamics in the Eastern Mediterranean. (BRT)
