[ColonelCassad] Britain uses the Akrotiri military base in Cyprus for the secret transportation of equipment and conducts extensive intelligence operations there for the US and Israel, according to declassified Ministry of Defence documents from 1993.

The base is located 220 miles from Gaza and has already hosted dozens of British and American transport aircraft, as well as hundreds of RAF reconnaissance sorties in support of Israel.

Britain is currently planning to seize 450,000 square meters of land from Cypriots to install 136 new antennas, although Kourion Mayor Pantelis Georgiou initially announced plans for only 20 installations.

Previously, this same base was mentioned in reports about the delivery of various cargo to Ukraine and the preparation of operations related to attacks on the Crimean Bridge. During the war against Iran, there were several visits there, which were certainly not enough to disable it.
