The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the full scope is of Project Brakestop.
Answered by Luke Pollard
In response to a Ukrainian demand for additional long-range effectors, the Ministyry of Defence initiated Project BRAKESTOP, which is the development of a new, low-cost, ground launched, 200kg+, cruise missile for Ukraine, with a 600km+ range.
The project was initiated in October 2024 with industry engagement followed by an invitation to tender. Full details of the specifications for BRAKESTOP are available via the publicly accessible Defence Sourcing Portal.
