Cypriot officials have formally requested information on two Indian loitering munitions systems for potential acquisition. The systems named are the Nagastra-1 and the Sky Striker.
Cyprus is an EU member located at the intersection of Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. The country has also pursued NATO membership. Officials cited security concerns arising from spillover effects of the Iran conflict as a factor in the interest.
Indian defense exports to an EU member would mark a change in regional sourcing patterns for military hardware. No sale agreement or delivery timeline has been announced.
