The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how the stealth characteristics of the UK's F-35 aircraft are 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.
