The Cyprus National Guard is a combined arms force and represents the organised air, land and sea capabilities of the Republic of Cyprus. Equipment has in the past, and usually still is, imported from other countries, since the country has only very limited heavy industrial and commercial industrial capacity due to its small population and land mass (excluding Turkish Cyprus). The role of maintaining, upgrading and modifying military equipment is primarily the task of the National Guard Technical Corps, though more complex activities rely upon the availability of civil contracts. == Operational equipment == This list contains equipment which is in use by the Cypriot armed forces. * ''Small arms'' * ''Main Battle Tanks'' * ''Artillery'' * ''Aircraft'' * ''Watercraft'' * * FPB 30M class 〔Four vessels acquired from Cantierre Navale Vittoria of Italy in 2006-2007.〕 * * SAB-12 Evagoras class FPB 〔Two vessels in service.
