Ukraine: Uncrewed Systems
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to his Oral Statement of 01 September on Ukraine, Official Report columns 93-94, how many of 2,500 uncrewed platforms delivered to Ukraine were manufactured in the UK.
Answered by Louise Sandher-Jones
Where the UK’s manufacturing industry can meet Ukraine’s uncrewed platform requirements, the Ministry of Defence sources from UK industry.
The UK’s military support to Ukraine is based upon Ukraine’s needs, prioritising speed of delivery for equipment.
A significant number of these drones were manufactured in the drone. For operational security reasons we are unable to give a more detailed breakdown of exactly how many have been manufactured in the UK.
