As a Type 45 destroyer, @HMSDragon will bring world-class air defence capability to the region, strengthening our response to counter threats directed to our allies and interests.
To every sailor, marine, civil servant and contractor who helped get her ready — thank you.

Three of our #815NAS Wildcats in Cyprus - armed with Martlet missiles, poised and equipped to neutralise threats as a counter-UAS layer in the Eastern Mediterranean. Their presence reinforces capability to detect and destroy hostile drones.

HMS Dragon has begun her journey to the eastern Mediterranean to join the UK's defensive operations in the region. Hundreds of well-wishers, including loved ones of the ship's crew, lined the seawall as the ship sailed from Portsmouth. 🔗royalnavy.mod.uk/news/2026/marc…

Our Wildcats – armed with Martlet lightweight multirole missiles – are deployed to support British Forces Cyprus in order to bolster air defences in response to escalating tensions in the region.

The deployment of #815NAS Wildcat attack helicopters demonstrates our ability to respond rapidly to emerging threats and protect UK interests wherever they arise.
Our people train constantly for exactly this kind of mission, and it’s a privilege to see their professionalism and combat readiness delivering protection of Cyprus.

Interesting. All of our Wildcat’s have Seaspray fitted; a multi-mode, world class AESA radar perfectly suited for detecting small uncrewed systems. Martlet armament is dependent on tasking, with our aircraft routinely carrying 20 missiles if the mission requires; as they did in the Red Sea.

Primed and ready. Wildcat has a lean footprint of only 10 personnel to operate, but offers a huge impact with up to 20 laser beam-riding missiles.
@RoyalNavy Wildcat with AESA radar can hunt and destroy UAS from ship or shore, bringing flexibility and a rapid lethal response anywhere in the world at very short notice.

@CrumbMontgomery @thinkdefence That’s aircrew and engineers to fully operate a maritime strike wildcat independently. Experts in their field, our people pair with our platform to generate a powerful capability. Low overheads = low cost + fast response.

@thinkdefence @815NAS 10 maintainers per airframe or for the sqn as a whole?
