Israel and Cyprus signed a defense agreement worth about 150 million euros, which includes the delivery of a new maritime patrol vessel and the modernization of an existing vessel. According to this agreement, Israel will deliver a new naval patrol ship from Israeli shipyards to Cyprus. This ship is equipped with advanced naval warfare systems designed by Rafael. Likewise, the systems of the naval patrol ship "Avonidis" (P61), which currently serves in the Cyprus Navy and was built by Israel Shipyards, will also be modernized. This new ship and the refurbished "Ibenidis" (P61) should enhance the Cypriot Navy's capabilities in patrols, surveillance, search and rescue operations and maritime security.
