Speaking during a visit to RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, where British troops are massing, he said: “I certainly won't speculate about situations that we might see.

“It is the nature of conflict that you never know what might develop and we are hugely strengthening our defences.”

An aircraft hangar on the base, near Limassol, was hit by a drone as the war began.
