The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, when he expects the Snapper maritime system to reach minimum deployable capability.

Answered by Luke Pollard

The Snapper system is a new uncrewed maritime system, which has been rapidly developed specifically to support Ukraine. The system is currently undergoing final testing.

We are unable to provide further details on the timings for minimum deployable capability at this time for operational security reasons. Responsibility for the employment of the system rests with the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
