Serious indications that the Shahed-136 drone did not travel from Iran to Cyprus, but from a closer distance, specifically from Lebanon, where the pro-Iranian organization Hezbollah operates, are at the disposal of the competent authorities of the Republic.
The drone was intended to hit the runway of British fighter jets, however, it crashed into a hangar that houses US Air Force aircraft and is made of reinforced concrete. The facility was located by the Phantom Wy road next to the aircraft take-off track.
However, the information states that the drone was detected by the observation systems of the Republic, while the British Bases were previously warned. It is recalled that there is also an American aircraft carrier in the area. According to the information so far, a second drone was intercepted.
In the meantime, the air defense systems of the National Guard are in full operational readiness to deal with threats.
According to information from Filenews, the Army's anti-aircraft systems are in their development areas according to the operational plans of the NGGS.
As we are in a position to know, the executives of the Air Force Command of the National Guard have been on alert since the first day of the start of the war.
