Six Typhoons, belonging to XI Squadron at RAF Coningsby are deploying to RAF Akritiri on Cyprus. Alongside the six Typhoons, a single Voyager tanker aircraft is deploying as well. Below is an announcement from the British Ministry of Defense.
“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.”
