00:00Well, we're reinforcing our Typhoons, our F-35s and our counter-drone forces we already have
00:05in the Mediterranean and in the Gulf with additional capabilities.
00:09These Wildcat helicopters and their drone-busting martlet missiles
00:13will be designed to take out Iranian Shahids that are coming at UK bases
00:18and also threatening our allies in the region.
00:21That will be reinforced with HMS Dragon, our Type 45 air defence destroyer as well,
00:26creating a full package of support for the UK to defeat any Iranian drones or air threats facing our bases.
00:35And is this due to be used around Cyprus, around Akrotiri? What's the plan?
00:40So these Wildcat helicopters will be based out of Cyprus and will be deployed to take out Iranian drones
00:47that are threatening not only those UK bases but also our allies in the region as well.
