Snowmobiles
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many snowmobiles are (a) owned by his Department and (b) deployed overseas.
Answered by Luke Pollard
The Royal Marines are the Armed Forces’ Extreme Cold Weather experts and have a fleet of 184 snowmobiles, which are known as Over Snow Reconnaissance Vehicles.
The Ministry of Defence does not routinely disclose a breakdown of the location of equipment capabilities, or the operational readiness of our fleet, in the interests of safeguarding security and operational effectiveness.
