Описание к видео Cyprus modernizes air defense capabilities with new Israeli Barak MX surface to air missile system

On December 3, 2024, Cyprus received its first batch of Israeli Barak MX surface-to-air missile systems as part of a broader defense modernization initiative. The Barak MX, chosen for its advanced capabilities, such as vertical launch systems, radar integration, and compatibility with existing air defense assets, will significantly enhance Cyprus's ability to counter aerial threats like drones, fighter jets, and missiles. This acquisition, which builds on negotiations that began in 2021, complements Cyprus's ongoing efforts to modernize its military, including replacing Soviet-era helicopters. The Barak MX system also strengthens regional defense cooperation with Greece and Israel, reflecting shared security interests in the Eastern Mediterranean.
