The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many and what proportion of UK F-35 aircraft have had their stealth characteristics measured.

Answered by Luke Pollard

A revised Business Case for a Sovereign Low Observable Verification Facility will be submitted in 2027. We do not comment on the stealth characteristics of individual aircraft for very obvious operational reasons.
