Guided Weapons: Procurement
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment has he made of the potential impact of procuring the Nightfall missile on the UK's precision fires capability.
Answered by Luke Pollard
The new ballistic missiles developed under Project Nightfall are intended to provide Ukraine with a long range-capability to counter Russian aggression as rapidly as possible. Decisions on the UK's precision strike capabilities will be prioritised appropriately against the threat as part of the future Integrated Force and set out in the Defence Investment Plan to be published this year.
