The new keys Generated with AI The frigate F-104 ‘Méndez Núñez’ will relieve the F-105 ‘Cristóbal Colón’ in Cyprus on April 7. The ‘Christopher Columbus’ was sent to Cyprus after missile attacks on military enclaves during Operation Epic Fury. The deployment of the Spanish frigate is part of the mission to protect the Naval Group, made up of ships from France, the Netherlands and Italy. Minister Margarita Robles highlighted that the frigate contributes to the defense of European territory and the deterrence strategy of the Atlantic Alliance. A few days after the start of Operation Epic Fury, Cyprus recorded missile attacks on military enclaves in the country. An unexpected escalation by the European Union that had the support of countries like Spain with the sending of the F-105 frigate. The ‘Christopher Columbus’ was then in the Baltic Sea as part of the Naval Group of the French aircraft carrier ‘Charles de Gaulle’. In a coordinated manner, France and Spain decided to send the frigate to Cyprus, where it will remain until April 7. As Minister Margarita Robles stated during her appearance at the Joint Commission on National Security in the Senate, the frigate ‘Méndez Núñez’ will take over from the ‘Cristóbal Colón’ next Tuesday. This is a “normal relief” like those carried out in this type of deployment. The ‘Christopher Columbus’ planned to remain in these joint maneuvers from February 26 to March 7, but the outbreak of war in Iran extended its navigation period. In addition to the French aircraft carrier and the Spanish ship, the Naval Group also includes two French frigates, a combat supply ship, a Dutch frigate and another Italian frigate. “The mission assigned to our frigate is to deploy in the eastern Mediterranean area with the purpose of protecting the Naval Group,” stated Margarita Robles. The minister has also pointed out that the ‘Christopher Columbus’ is “participating in the defense of European territory by collaborating in the deterrence strategy of the Atlantic Alliance.” The Naval Group is currently deployed in the south-southeast area of the island, he detailed, “in the area that has been requested of us by the authorities of Cyprus for its defense.” “Depending on what the European Union and Cyprus decide, we will be there,” he says. “Spain and its Armed Forces will always be with its allies.” News in update We are working on expanding this information.
