A framework agreement has been signed between South Cyprus, France and Sweden for the joint procurement of “Akeron MP” medium-range anti-tank guided missiles from MBDA as part of the “Euronaval 2026” exhibition.

Poliqonjurnal reports, citing the French Directorate General of Armament (DGA), that the procurement will be carried out, in particular, within the framework of the European Union’s “Security for Action for Europe” (SAFE) financing mechanism.

The “Akeron MP” is a medium-range missile developed by MBDA and designed to destroy armoured vehicles and fortified targets. Thanks to its advanced guidance system, the missile enables precise engagement of targets under various operational conditions.
