The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 25 November to Question 93042 on Unmanned Air Systems: Manufacturing Industries, whether his Department keep records of each country of origin that has supplied drones to Ukraine.

Answered by Al Carns

The Department does hold information on suppliers we contract to produce equipment which is gifted to Ukraine, including where they are based.

Through our joint leadership of the Ukraine Defence Contact Group and Coalition of the Willing, we are actively encouraging our allies to ramp up drone production following increased drone strikes in Ukraine and incursions into European airspace.
