Under the agreement, signed by Israeli Ministry of Defense Director General Amir Yaron and his Cypriot counterpart, Stelios Kontouris, Israel will provide Cyprus with a new patrol vessel manufactured by Israel Shipyards. This vessel will be equipped with various naval systems from Rafael. Additionally, the existing patrol vessel in Cyprus's fleet, also built by Israel Shipyards, will undergo an upgrade of its systems.

The new patrol vessel, along with the upgraded IOANNIDES, will support expanded missions in patrol, surveillance, search, and rescue operations. The ministry emphasized that by strengthening their capabilities and deepening their partnership, both nations reaffirm their commitment to regional stability.
