But Lt. Col. Christos Pieris, a spokesperson for the Cypriot Defence Ministry, was quoted by Bloomberg as saying the system would be developed over three years for a value of $32 million. Elbit would not confirm that information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kulas met with the secretary of the Cypriot Defence Ministry, Andreas Louka, and the Israeli government said they discussed the \u201cexpansion of defense cooperation between the respective defense establishments.\u201d Cyprus released a similar statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2021-11-04\/israel-s-elbit-to-develop-land-surveillance-system-for-cyprus\" target=\"_blank\">Reports have surmised<\/a><b> <\/b>the system will be for the Green Line in Cyprus, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/2019\/06\/26\/senate-takes-step-to-allow-weapon-sales-to-cyprus-block-f-35-to-turkey\/\" target=\"_blank\">divides<\/a> the island between the Turkish-administered northern part and the government of Cyprus.
