RAF Typhoons deploying to Cyprus

As part of ongoing contingency planning, 6 RAF Typhoon interceptor fast jets are deploying to Akrotiri in Cyprus.
This is a precautionary measure, specifically aimed at protecting UK interests and the defence of our Sovereign Base Areas at a time of heightened tension in the wider region. This is a movement of defensive assets operating in an air-to-air role only. They are not deploying to take part in any military action against Syria.
