塞浦路斯空军司令部
The Cyprus Air Command (Διοίκηση Αεροπορίας Κύπρου) is the small helicopter-and-drone air arm of the Republic of Cyprus’s National Guard, founded in 1964 and never equipped with a combat jet: it fought the 1974 war with no aircraft at all, spent two decades flying Russian Mi-35P gunships from Paphos, and since 2022 has swapped them for Airbus H145Ms, Israeli drones and Western air defence while the island stays divided and its airspace is guarded, in practice, with help from Greece and the British bases.
The Cyprus Air Command story: a republic with no air force, a war without aircraft and the turn to the West
1960–1964: a republic with no air force
The Republic of Cyprus became independent on 16 August 1960 with a constitution that allowed an army of 2,000 men, 60 per cent Greek Cypriot and 40 per cent Turkish Cypriot, according to Wikipedia. What aviation it had was civil in all but name: an Air Wing with a few light aircraft for search and rescue, ambulance flights, fire-fighting and pollution control, flying in civilian markings until 1987. The constitutional order broke down in the intercommunal crisis of 1963–64 — which the Turkish Cypriot authorities describe as a planned campaign against them — and a National Guard was set up in June 1964. It had no combat aircraft. When the Guard attacked the Kokkina enclave in August 1964, Turkish F-100 Super Sabres struck its positions and patrol boats; on 8 August a 40 mm gun shot down Captain Cengiz Topel, the circumstances of whose death in Greek Cypriot custody are still disputed.
1974: the war fought without aircraft, and the night of the Noratlas
The 1974 war began with a coup on 15 July, staged against President Makarios by the military junta in Athens. Turkey landed on 20 July; the Turkish Cypriot foreign ministry says it intervened under Article IV of the 1960 Treaty of Guarantee to prevent the island’s annexation to Greece and to protect Turkish Cypriots, while the Cypriot government calls it an invasion and describes the north as under Turkish occupation. The UN says Turkish aircraft raided Nicosia airport from the first day. The National Guard fought, in Wikipedia’s words, without air power. Its one air episode was a tragedy: on the night of 21–22 July Greek Noratlas transports flew commandos from Crete to Nicosia (Operation Niki), and Guard anti-aircraft gunners who had not been warned shot one down. The UN took over the airport as a protected area on 23 July, and after the second Turkish offensive of 14–16 August the ceasefire lines became the UN buffer zone.
1983–2000: Gazelles, missiles and a base at Paphos
The north declared itself the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus on 15 November 1983; the UN Security Council called the declaration legally invalid in Resolution 541, and only Turkey recognises it. The Air Command became a military service in the proper sense only in 1987, when, according to Wikipedia, it bought Aerospatiale SA-342L Gazelles armed with HOT anti-tank missiles, Bell 206 helicopters and Pilatus PC-9 trainers. In 1997 Cyprus ordered two Russian S-300PMU-1 long-range missile systems; Turkey threatened to strike them, and in December 1998 President Glafcos Clerides had them sent to Crete, taking Tor-M1 short-range systems in exchange. The air arm’s home became the military side of Paphos airport, named after the Greek prime minister Andreas Papandreou, with hardened shelters beside a 2,700 m civil runway. Cypriot media reported that air defence radars there locked on to Turkish aircraft in October 2000 and April 2002.
2002–2022: the Mi-35 years
In 2001–2002 Cyprus quietly bought 12 new Mil Mi-35P attack helicopters, serials 811 to 822, which Wikipedia says were first seen in a three-ship flypast at the funeral of Lieutenant General Evangelos Florakis on 12 July 2002. Florakis, chief of the National Guard, had been killed two days earlier with four other officers when a Bell 206 caught fire and crashed near Kouklia on the way from Lakatamia to Paphos. More losses followed: a PC-9M crashed into a church bell tower near Kolossi on 10 September 2005 during an unauthorised manoeuvre, killing both pilots, and Mi-35P 822 crashed after take-off from Paphos on 5 July 2006, killing a Russian instructor and a Cypriot student. The gunships gave a small army real firepower, but they tied it to Russian support; after the sanctions of 2022 Cypriot Russian-made systems were short of spare parts, the Cyprus Mail reported. Lakatamia, the Nicosia air base, closed in April 2013, according to Wikipedia.
2022–2025: the turn to the West
The United States eased its 1987 arms embargo on Cyprus in 2020 and lifted it on 1 October 2022, and in January 2025 opened Foreign Military Sales to the island. The helicopter fleet turned west first. In June 2022 Cyprus signed a contract with Airbus Helicopters for six H145M light attack helicopters, with an option for six more; the Cyprus Mail puts the price at 140 million euros. The 11 remaining Mi-35Ps were sold to Serbia in November 2023, for 105 million euros according to the Cyprus Mail. Airbus delivered the first two H145Ms on 26 March 2025. Greece donated an Embraer ERJ-135 for the president in September 2022, two Air Tractor AT-802 fire-bombers moved from the forestry department to a new National Guard unit in February 2025, and Israeli Aerostar and Searcher drones and the Barak MX air defence system (operational from December 2024, per Wikipedia) moved the air arm from Russian suppliers to Israeli ones.
2026: drones over the island, and what is still missing
In March 2026 the war with Iran reached Cyprus. A drone hit the runway at RAF Akrotiri, a British sovereign base and not Cypriot territory, on the night of 1–2 March, and Paphos airport was evacuated when two more drones approached. The government said National Guard radars tracked the whole flight and that the Akrotiri drone came from Lebanon; Britain’s defence ministry said it was not launched from Iran. Greece sent F-16s, a deployment the defence minister called temporary, and the government said Paphos is lent to the Americans only for humanitarian evacuations. The Paphos base is to be rebuilt from 2027 with a key US role; EU SAFE loans of up to 1.18 billion euros and a target of 2 per cent of GDP by 2028 pay for drones and counter-drone systems. What is still missing is an air force in the usual sense: about 1,200 people, no fighter, and, by a Cypriot think-tank’s count, a military balance that still favours Turkey.

How the Cyprus Air Command is organised
One of the National Guard’s three commands, based at Andreas Papandreou Air Base, Paphos, with a helicopter squadron there and a search and rescue squadron whose base is not confirmed. Cyprus has never owned a fighter or any combat jet: the Air Command flies helicopters, Israeli drones and two fire-bombers, and Greek F-16s have operated from Paphos since March 2026 in a deployment the Cypriot defence minister calls temporary. Ground-based air defence, from Barak MX to Tor-M1 and Buk-M1-2 by Wikipedia’s estimates, and radar sites in the Troodos Mountains complete the network.
塞浦路斯空军司令部
One of three commands of the National Guard, with the ground forces and the Naval Command, based at Andreas Papandreou Air Base, Paphos. The Cyprus Mail named Brig. (pilot) Alexandros Georgiou as its chief in June 2026; English Wikipedia names Brig. Gen. George Alexandrou, and the date of appointment is not confirmed.
450 Squadron
Formed at Paphos in May 2002, per Aeroflight, and for two decades the home of the Mi-35P gunships, whose 11 survivors went to Serbia in November 2023. The Airbus H145M replaces them: six were ordered in June 2022 and the first two delivered on 26 March 2025. Where the H145Ms are based has not been confirmed officially.
460 Squadron
Formed in 2011 with AW139s for search and rescue with the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre at Larnaca; the Air Command has three. Aeroflight bases the squadron at Lakatamia, but whether Lakatamia is still open is disputed, so its current base is not confirmed.

- The Battle of Tillyria 1964 The Guard had no aircraft; its anti-aircraft guns engaged the Turkish Air Force, and one shot down an F-100
- The 1974 war in Cyprus 1974 Fought on the ground without air cover; its anti-aircraft units defended Nicosia airport and, by mistake, shot down a Greek transport bringing reinforcements
- Air defence of Cyprus in the Iran war 2026 Placed its air defences on alert, tracked drones with its radars and worked with Greek and British forces on air threats to the island
