The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what plans he has for the redeployment of the Sky Sabre GBAD capability based in Rzeszow following the conclusion of Op STIFFTAIL.

Answered by Luke Pollard

Sky Sabre, the UK’s Medium range air defence capability that was deployed under Op STIFFTAIL, is now returning to the UK to undergo a period of reconstitution. There are a number of options for redeployment under consideration but there has been no decision at this time. A combination of capabilities and effects remain in place to ensure that all UK troops deployed overseas remain protected from an air defence perspective and the UK continues to meet its NATO commitments. The UK remains committed to the security of Poland and NATO’s Eastern Flank through and continues to work closely with Poland to identify and deliver bilateral and multilateral operations and exercises.
