🚁 Cyprus Plans to Purchase Indian Drones and Missiles
Cyprus and India have signed a military cooperation roadmap for 2026–2031, opening the possibility for Nicosia to acquire Indian defense systems.

What could be of interest to Cyprus:

🔹 strike drones and loitering munitions;

🔹 systems that have already been tested in real combat conditions;

🔹 new defense technologies and joint development projects.

📍 One of the main objectives is described as diversifying arms suppliers and reducing dependence on a limited number of partners.

The two countries also signed agreements covering:

▪️ cybersecurity;
▪️ counter-terrorism cooperation;
▪️ innovation;
▪️ education and culture.
💰 Funding for potential purchases could partially come through the European SAFE program, which has a budget of €150 billion.

🌡 Record Heat Hits Europe While Cyprus Enjoys Rain and a Comfortable +26°C
While the United Kingdom, France, Spain, and Italy are experiencing unusually high temperatures for May, weather conditions in Cyprus remain much milder.

📍 In some parts of Europe, temperatures have already climbed above +33°C, while Spain could see highs of up to +38°C by the end of the week.

The main reason is a so-called “heat dome” — a high-pressure system that traps hot air and prevents it from dispersing quickly.

And what about Cyprus?

🔹 coastal areas are expected to see +26°C to +28°C;
🔹 inland regions — up to +28°C;
🔹 in Troodos — around +18°C;
🔹 short periods of rain and thunderstorms remain possible in mountainous and central areas.
☔ Despite its proximity to North Africa, the island is currently staying within a zone of more comfortable and unstable weather conditions.

🧊 5 Foods You Should Never Store in the Refrigerator Door
Many people place food in the refrigerator door simply because it’s convenient. But this is actually the part of the fridge where temperatures fluctuate the most — especially with frequent opening and closing.

Here’s what should be moved out of the door:

🥛 Milk
Best stored deeper inside the refrigerator, where the temperature is colder and more stable.

🥚 Eggs
Even if your fridge door has egg compartments, it’s better to keep eggs in their original carton on an interior shelf.

🍗 Meat and poultry
Raw products should be stored on the bottom shelf in sealed containers to avoid leaks contaminating other foods.

🍎 Fruits and vegetables
These are better kept in dedicated crisper drawers with humidity control.

🧀 Cheese
Best stored in designated compartments or on middle shelves inside the refrigerator.

So what can stay in the refrigerator door?

✔️ sauces and ketchup
✔️ mayonnaise
✔️ dressings
✔️ juices and drinks
📍 Proper storage helps food stay fresh longer and reduces the risk of spoilage.

🛩 Bayraktar Facility and Drone Operator Training Center to Be Established in Northern Cyprus
In the occupied territories of Cyprus, the local “parliament” has overridden a veto on a project linked to the development of infrastructure for drone production and UAV operator training.

📍 Planned developments include:

🔹 approximately 4.68 km² of land allocated in the Karpasia region;

🔹 the area being assigned to a project associated with Istanbul Technical University and Baykar;

🔹 plans for drone production facilities and a UAV operator training center.

❗ Authorities had previously described the initiative as an educational project, but it later emerged that it is also connected to defense and security matters.

Another law also attracted attention during discussions — legislation limiting the publication of names of accused individuals in media and social networks. Instead of prison sentences, substantial financial penalties are now proposed.
📌 Since 2019, the Lefkoniko airfield has already been used by Turkey as a base for Bayraktar TB2 drones, and the new project could become part of a broader expansion of military infrastructure in the northern part of the island.
